OPERATING PROCEDURES
Observe the following procedures while
operating the conveyor:
Positioning Conveyor for
Operation
1.) Select and secure a safe operation
site (See General Instructions). Set up a
SAFETY ZONE around the truck (See
General Instructions, Section One, pp 1-
3 through 1-4 and Figure 1-21) with
ropes, barricades or other suitable
equipment. See 29 CFR 1926.1400
2.) Review the Warning and Operating
Instructions contained in this manual and
the Warning Labels (Stickers) attached
to the conveyor and turntable. Review
the Instruction Manual and SAFETY
VIDEO provided (if missing, call (CM)
at
(800) 453-2446 for a free
replacement. If you should have any
questions, get help as needed before
starting operation.
3.) Make sure you are familiar with the
positioning of the hydraulic function
control valves and that all the valves are
in the “off” or “neutral” position before
engaging the PTO.
4.) Block the wheels. Be sure the truck
gears are in neutral, and the parking
brakes are locked before engaging the
PTO.
5.) Unhook the chains supporting the
stabilizer legs. Push down on the rear
control handle to lower the right side
stabilizer. Continue to lower the
stabilizer until the truck rises slightly.
Push down on the front control handle to
lower the left stabilizer until the truck
bed is level. If the ground is soft, place
planks or blocks under the stabilizer feet
for greater stability. Extend the
stabilizers only enough to stabilize the
truck. Do not raise the truck wheels off
the ground.
6.) Unfasten the conveyor from its
resting position, and slowly raise the
conveyor to a height well above the roof
upon which you intend to rest it (the
maximum recommended inclination is
an angle not to exceed 70 degrees from
the horizontal).
7.) For RTH series turntables, engage
the rotation function lever, specially
marked on most units, and rotate the
conveyor slowly until the nose is
properly positioned. The conveyor may
then be lowered to come to rest on the
roof.
8.) Adjust the height of the post to place
the lower end of the conveyor at a
convenient loading height.
9.) Support the nose of the conveyor on
the roof with the support foot before
stating the conveyor.
Never operate the conveyor belt while
lowering or rotating the conveyor.
10.) Start the conveyor belt only after
the conveyor is resting solidly on the
roof, alerting the worker(s) on the roof.
11.) The valves that control the
turntable functions are spring-loaded
“return to center” devices with a forward
and reverse function. They should shut-
off automatically when released. If they
do not, inspect and repair them to restore
automatic centering.
