2.3 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Safety of the operator and bystanders is
one of the main concerns in designing and
developing equipment. However, every year
many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
• Do not allow persons to operate this unit until
they have been trained. They must know all
safety precautions.
• In order to provide a better view,
some images in this manual may
show an assembly with a safety
guard removed.
Equipment should never be
operated in this condition. All
guards must be in place. If removal
becomes necessary for repairs,
replace the shield prior to use.
• This equipment is dangerous to children and
persons unfamiliar with its operation.
The operator should be responsible, properly
trained and physically able. You should be
familiar with farm machinery in general.
• Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery.
If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in
question - DON’T TRY IT.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification result in serious
injury or death and may impair the function
and life of the equipment.
• The design and configuration of this conveyor
includes safety decals and equipment. They
need to be clean, readable and in good
condition.
2.4 SAFETY DECALS
• Keep safety decals clean and legible at all
times.
• Replace safety decals that are missing or have
become illegible.
• Replaced parts must display the same decal(s)
as the original parts.
• All safety decals have a part number in the
lower right hand corner. Use this part number
when ordering replacements.
• Decals are available from your authorized
distributor, dealer’s parts department or from
Meridian Manufacturing Inc.
2.4.1 Applying Decals:
1. Be sure the application area is clean and
dry. Ensure the surrounding temperature is
above 10°C (50°F).
a. Remove all dirt, grease, wax from surface.
b. Clean with a non-ammonia based
cleaner.
c. Wipe the clean surface with isopropyl
alcohol on paper towel, and allow to dry.
2. Determine the exact position before you
remove the backing paper.
3. Peel a small portion of the split backing
paper.
4. Align the decal over the specified area. Use
a squeegee to carefully press the small
portion, with the exposed adhesive backing,
into place.
5. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and
carefully smooth the rest of the decal into
place.
6. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin
and smoothed out using the squeegee, or a
piece of sign backing paper.
