General Safety Guidelines
AMF believes strongly in its commitment to safety. Proper service and repair are
important to the safety of the mechanic as well as the safe, reliable operation of
the pinspotters. Please read, understand, and follow all of the recommended
safety procedures presented in this manual.
The procedures recommended and described in this technical manual are
effective methods of performing service and repair. Some of these procedures
require the use of tools specially designed for this purpose.
• Properly trained personnel should be present whenever maintenance is being
performed on a pinspotter.
• No unauthorized personnel should be allowed in the pit area.
• Keep in mind that the pinspotter performs a series of mechanical motions and
electrical actions during each cycle, and that bodily injury could result should
personnel enter the machine when power is on. When working in a
pinspotter, it is recommended that power also be turned off on adjacent
machines.
• The belts and pulleys of the Positive Ball Lift can present a severe pinching
hazard. Whenever possible, turn off both associated pinspotters before
performing maintenance, and exercise caution when working around
operating equipment.
• Remember that safety must remain your first priority at all times.
• Safety goggles, ear protection, and steel-toed shoes are recommended
whenever any work is being performed on a pinspotter.
• Wearing loose clothing or jewelry is NOT RECOMMENDED
when operating or
maintaining the machinery.
