2.9 Safety Latch Bars
All mold and hot runner assemblies are delivered with safety latch bars installed on the operator
and non-operator side of the assembly.
Safety latch bars are used to hold plates together for maintenance and installation purposes. They
provide a safe means for transporting and handling the assembly, and for securing plates that are
normally fastened together during normal operation.
WARNING!
Crushing hazard – risk of death or serious injury. Plates could separate from each other and
fall during handling if not properly secured. Under no circumstances are multiple plates to
be handled with only one safety latch bar installed.
Safety latch bars must always be installed in pairs on diagonally opposite sides of the mold and
hot runner assembly to provide equal pull on the plates.
NOTE:
Specic instructions on how to install safety latch bars are provided when needed in this manual.
