1.2.4 Electric Components and Installation
1.2.4.1. KEITH recommends connecting to earth ground (whenever possible).
1.2.4.2. Wiring must be connected consistent with local codes and regulations, including
electromagnetic interference regulations.
1.2.4.3. Adequate electric overcurrent protection must be provided.
1.2.5 Hydraulics
1.2.5.1. Hydraulic piping and components must be constructed of materials that are rated for
system pressures, and must be installed with best industry practices. Follow all pipe,
tubing, fitting, and hose manufacturer installation and routing guidelines.
1.2.5.2. Hydraulic piping should be supported and isolated from vibration. Contact a KEITH
representative for recommendations on installation.
1.2.5.3. Place protective shrouds around the hydraulic tubing in any areas that may have
operators or people frequently nearby.
1.2.6 Controls
1.2.6.1. The control panel must be located such that it is easily accessible for all sizes and
capacities of people, and allows the operator to move freely (whenever applicable).
1.2.6.2. Control devices must be located outside of danger zones, such that any exposed
persons in danger zones are visible from the control station.
1.2.6.3. An acceptable means must be provided to monitor the status and movement of the
load.
1.2.6.4.
The floor can generate enormous horizontal force which can destroy improperly
designed surroundings. The floor module must not be allowed to compact material
against an end wall or door, or end walls and doors must be designed to absorb these
forces.
1.2.6.5.
Do not allow the floor to move material toward the front of the trailer when material is
contacting the front wall. KEITH recommends installing limit switches to prevent this. In
the absence of a sensor switch, the operator must be keenly aware of the load position,
and the control system must require the operator to hold the run signal in the on
position to continue running, such that releasing the run signal causes the floor to stop
(momentary signal).
1.2.6.6. Material compacted against closed doors can force the doors open dangerously fast
when the door latch is released. The impact can cause serious injury or death. Do not
allow the floor to run when the doors are closed. Do not open a door when it is possible
that material may be compacted against it. KEITH strongly recommends installing a
control interlock switch to prevent the floor from running when the door is closed. KEITH
also recommends a door latch that can be remotely actuated by someone away from
the door area unload zone.
