GL16 Operating Guidelines
3-3
Safety Interlock Switches
Safety interlock switches (Figure 3-4) are located
inside each end frame and behind the protective
backplate. If any of these panels are removed, the
interlock switch on that panel is disconnected and
all rotating parts stop moving.
The safety interlock switches are not intended
to lock out the unit. Site management is responsible
for developing and implementing lockout/tagout
procedures that comply with government standards
for use when servicing the unit.
WARNING
The safety interlock switches
are only to be defeated
temporarily while a
procedure is being done.
Never operate the unit unless
all safety systems are working
correctly.
Serious Injury Could Result.
Safety Labels
WARNING (orange) and CAUTION (yellow)
labels are placed at locations around the unit to
keep operators and maintenance personnel alert in
particular areas (Figure 3-5).
WARNING labels alert personnel that personal
injury may result from not following recommended
procedures.
CAUTION labels alert personnel that the unit
may be damaged if conditions, practices, or
procedures are not observed.
When training operators, take the time to review,
understand, and locate all areas where labels are
posted.
NOTE: Do not remove safety
labels at any time. If a label needs
to be replaced, contact Chicago
Dryer Company for free
replacements.
Figure 3-5: Yellow and orange safety labels
remind operators that care must be
taken when operating near these
areas.
Figure 3-4: Safety interlock switches are located
inside the end frame doors and the
backplate. Never operate the unit
unless all safety interlock switches
are working correctly.
