Section 2 - Safety Considerations and Precautions
Before installing and operating the MMP Precleaner, it is important to review and understand the following safety
information.
There are set-up, maintenance and operational activities involving both stationary and operating conveyors. Each
case has a safety protocol.
2.1 Stationary Conveyors
The following activities are performed on stationary conveyors:
• Installation • Blade replacement • Repairs

It is imperative that OSHA/MSHA Lockout/Tagout
(LOTO) regulations, 29 CFR 1910.147, be followed before
undertaking the preceding activities. Failure to use LOTO
exposes workers to uncontrolled behavior of the belt
cleaner caused by movement of the conveyor belt. Severe
injury or death can result.
Before working:
• Lockout/Tagout the conveyor power source
• Disengage any takeups
• Clear the conveyor belt or clamp securely
in place
Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
• Safety eyewear
• Hardhats
• Safety footwear
Close quarters, springs and heavy components
create a worksite that compromises a worker’s
eyes, feet and skull.
PPE must be worn to control the foreseeable
hazards associated with conveyor belt cleaners.
Serious injuries can be avoided.
2.2 Operating Conveyors
There are two routine tasks that must be performed while the conveyor is running:
• Inspection of the cleaning performance
• Dynamic troubleshooting
Every belt cleaner is an in-running nip hazard. Never
touch or prod an operating cleaner. Cleaner hazards
cause instantaneous amputation and entrapment.
Never adjust anything on an operating cleaner.
Unforseeable belt projections and tears can catch
on cleaners and cause violent movements of the
cleaner structure. Flailing hardware can cause
serious injury or death.
Belt cleaners can become projectile hazards.
Stay as far from the cleaner as practical and use
safety eyewear and headgear. Missiles can inflict
serious injury.
