Air Chicago (Standard/XW/XL/XXL)
Introduction
1-5
Safety Interlock Switches
Safety interlock switches are located behind
each endframe panel, behind the rear cover panel,
and under the air permeable barriers. Whenever
any panel is removed, the interlock on that
door is disconnected and all rotating parts stop
moving.
The safety interlock switches are not intended
to lockout the unit. Site management is responsible
for developing and implementing lockout/tagout
procedures that comply with government
standards for use when servicing the unit.
Safety Stop Buttons
There are three red safety STOP buttons
arrayed around the unit, one at the left front and
one at each rear corner. Pressing any of these
buttons immediately stops all rotating and moving
parts and shuts down the machine. To reset a
pressed STOP button, twist it.
The preferred method of stopping the operation
of the unit is by pressing the red STOP button in
the center control panel.
Safety Labels
Orange Warning and yellow Caution labels
(Figure 1-2) are placed at locations around the
unit to keep operators and maintenance personnel
alert in particular areas.
WARNING message labels alert personnel that
personal injury
may result from not following
recommended procedures.
CAUTION message labels alert personnel that
the machine may be damaged
if conditions,
practices, or procedures are not observed.
When training operators, take the time to
review, understand, and locate all areas where
labels are posted.
NOTE:
Do not remove safety
labels at any time. If a label
needs to be replaced, contact
Chicago Dryer Company for free
replacements.
Figure 1-2: Safety labels remind operators and
maintenance personnel that care must
be taken when working near these
areas.
