Assembly Manual: 1600-TL Series Conveyor
Revised 12.2019
2.3 WORK PREPARATION
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)
include:
- Protective shoes with
slip resistant soles
- Eye protection
- Work gloves
- Hearing protection
Wear them when assembling, operating,
adjusting, maintaining or repairing the unit.
• Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or
jewelry to be around equipment.
• PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Assembling equipment can often be
noisy enough to cause permanent,
partial hearing loss. We recommend
that hearing protection be worn on
a full-time basis.
Noise over 85 db on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss.
Noise over 90 db adjacent to the operator over
a long-term basis may cause permanent, total
hearing loss.
Note:
Hearing loss from loud noise
(impact driver, tractors, radios, etc.)
is cumulative over a lifetime
without hope of natural recovery.
• Clear working area of stones, branches or
hidden obstacles that might be hooked or
snagged, causing injury or damage.
• Assemble only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Be sure assembly is in a stable position.
2.4 ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Follow good shop practices:
- Keep assembly area clean and dry.
- Be sure electrical outlets and tools
are properly grounded.
- Use adequate light for the job.
• Provide adequate space for access to all sides
of machine.
• Use forklifts, hoists or cranes with sufficient lift
capacity to handle the heavy components.
• Two people are needed to handle the heavy,
bulky components.
• Place the machine and components on heavy
duty, work stands before working underneath.
• Stay away from overhead obstructions when
lifting the assembly. Contact can damage the
components, or cause them to fail.
• Tighten all bolts and fasteners to their specified
torque before using the unit.
• Removal of safety guards may be necessary
while testing the assembly. Be Alert and be
Careful! Replace the guards when finished.
