GL16 Introduction
1-3
1.3 Safety
Safe operation and maintenance of the unit
must be the first priority of all supervisors,
operators, and maintenance personnel. Safety
begins with safe work habits. In addition, the unit
is equipped with built-in safety features to protect
operators and maintenance people.
Safe Work Habits
During Daily Operation
Handle the flatwork only when it is clear of
the unit. Do not attempt to remove the finished
flatwork while it is partially or completely in the
unit.
Never operate the unit without all safety
devices and features correctly installed and
working properly. Serious injury could result.
Maintenance and Repair
Before attempting any repair work, review
these safety steps and precautions to protect
yourself and the unit.
Safety should be the primary concern of anyone
performing corrective maintenance.
Except where specifically directed, ensure the
main disconnect switch to incoming power is OFF.
WARNING
Always use extreme caution
when performing any repair
procedure that requires
the unit to be temporarily
moving. Keep hands and
loose clothing from
coming into contact with
any of the moving belts
or other moving parts.
Serious Injury Could Result.
When the unit is running, one
person should be ready at a
STOP button at all times to
stop it if necessary.
It is recommended that all maintenance
procedures be handled by at least two qualified
persons. Using the “buddy system” decreases the
risk of an accident.
Your site should have procedures in place that
comply with all government regulations and
standards for equipment lockout/tagout during
maintenance and repair. Ask your supervisor for
specific information. It is the users’ responsibility
to make sure they comply with all safety
procedures.
WARNING
Know the proper lockout/
tagout procedures for
equipment during repair
work. Follow the rules of
your work site. Failure to do
so could result in
serious injury.
WARNING
Do not repair or correct any
condition without reading
and understanding the
REPAIR chapter of this
manual. Only qualified
personnel should
troubleshoot and repair
this unit. Always make
sure that the power is
disconnected before
servicing the unit.
