3.  Familiarization

IMPORTANT!  Before starting work with the conveyor, 
become familiar with the location and function of all 
controls.

3.1  To the New Operator

It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this 
manual and to train all other operators before they start working 
with the machine. Follow all safety instructions exactly. 

By following recommended procedures, a safe working 
environment is provided for the operator, bystanders and the 
area around the work site. Untrained operators are not qualified 
to use the machine.

3.2  Training

Each operator must be trained in the proper set-up and operating 
procedures prior to being allowed to operate the machine.

3.3  Job Site Familiarization

It is the responsibility of the operator to be thoroughly familiar 
with the work site prior to starting. Doing so can prevent the 
chance of problems or accidents. 

3.4  Equipment Condition

1. 

Check the general condition of the conveyor. Ensure that 
all nuts and bolts are secure and that moveable parts are 
secured and in their proper place.

2. 

Always inspect the wire rope as it is pulled out of the 
winch. Do not use the machine if the rope is cut, frayed, 
worn or knotted. Any problem can result in early failure and 
create an unsafe operating condition. Replace damaged 
wire rope before resuming work.

3.5  Operator Orientation

IMPORTANT!  The directions mentioned throughout this 
manual for left-hand, right-hand, backward and forward, are 
determined when facing the direction of forward travel.
