• Energy sources must be shutdown, locked out, and tagged out before
preventive maintenance, adjustment, or service.

SuperTrak conveyance platform after lockout and tagout (for example; the
strong permanent magnets when pallets are removed from the SuperTrak
conveyance platform).
• Long hair must be tied up and kept away from SuperTrak conveyance platform
devices to prevent entanglement.
• Do not wear loose clothing or dangling jewelry while operating or maintaining
the equipment, to prevent entanglement.
