3.1 Safety Features
The spreader/feeder is manufactured with
several built-in features to promote safety and
proper operating procedures.
WARNING
Never bypass any of the
safety devices.
Serious Injury Could Result.
These are the general categories of safety
features:
Main Disconnect Switch
Safety Guards
Safety STOP buttons
Safety Interlock Switches
Safety Labels
Main Disconnect Switch
The main disconnect switch (Figure 3-2) is
located at the right rear of the unit. When turned
to OFF, the main disconnect switch locks out the
incoming electrical power to the unit.
Unless otherwise indicated, turn the main
disconnect switch to OFF before performing any
maintenance or repair work.
For more information on operating the main
disconnect switch, refer to the INSTALLATION
chapter, Electrical Connection section, Standard
Electrical Wiring procedure.
Safety Guards
A windowed front access guard (Figure 3-3,
A) allows operators to see the internal parts of
the spreader/feeder when it is in operation while
providing protection from moving parts.
Each endframe is covered by a protective door.
These prevent fingers or hands from coming into
contact with moving parts. They also serve to
keep objects, other than flatwork, from entering
the unit and damaging components.

Safety STOP Buttons
Pressing any of the six red safety STOP
buttons (Figure 3-3, B) stops the spreader/feeder
and locks out operation of the machine. A fault
message appears in the CHI Panel display.
The other method of stopping the machine is
to press the square red Stop button (Figure 3-3,
C) at the front of the unit above each of the two
stations. This pauses the operation of the unit.
To completely stop the unit, press any red
safety STOP button then twist to unlock it.
However, for ChiLinc enabled machines, this
technique will not work. Instead, press the square
red button at either operator station and hold it
for 3 seconds. The machine will completely shut
down and release internal air pressure. To re-start
the machine, press either operator station green
Start button. Power is always present as long as
the main disconnect switch is on.
