Fundamentals 

 

The Operating Instructions section provides instructions for each aspect of 
machine operation. It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the safety rules 
and instructions in the operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals. 
 
This conveyor was designed to transport solid (non-liquid/ non-dangerous) 
material such as stone, sand, rubble and soil. The material must be loaded 
responsibly and with skill by the operator as to not cause damage by overloading 
the conveyor. 
 
Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to operate a 
machine. If more than one operator is expected to use a machine at different 
times in the same work shift, they must all be qualified operators and are all 
expected to follow all safety rules and instructions in the operator's safety and 
responsibilities manuals. That means every new operator should perform a pre-
operation inspection, function tests, and a workplace inspection before using the 
machine.
