Edge MAXX Introduction
1-5
Safety Interlock Switches
Safety interlock switches are located behind
each endframe door. Whenever any door is
opened, 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.
Figure 1-2: Safety labels remind operators and
maintenance personnel that care must
be taken when working near these
areas.
Safety Stop Buttons
There are six red emergency STOP buttons
arrayed around the unit, one at each corner and
one at each operator station. Pressing any of
these buttons immediately stops all rotating and
moving parts, releases compressed air pressure,
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 portion of the
START/STOP button located at each operator
station.
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.
