Preoperation Checklist
The preoperational check should be performed

operational condition. This check should include,
but not be limited to the following items.
Initial Operation
The conveyor should initially be run empty to
insure everything is operating smoothly and
conveyor belt is tracking properly.
After the conveyor has operated for a few
minutes, disconnect and lockout power.
With conveyor stopped, power disconnected
and locked out, inspect for loose bolts and
screws, belt operation and make any necessary
adjustments.
When this fi nal inspection and adjustment has
been completed, the conveyor should be ready
for service.
Before starting conveyor, be sure all tools
and foreign objects have been removed
and everyone is clear.
