2.6 PREPARATION
1. Never operate the Conveyor and auxiliary
equipment until you have read and completely
understand this manual, the auxiliary equipment
Operator's Manual, and each of the Safety Mes-
sages found on the safety signs on the Con-
veyor and auxiliary equipment.
2. Personal protec-
tion equipment in-
cluding hard hat,
safety glasses,
safety shoes, and
gloves are recom-
mended during
assembly, instal-
lation, operation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or
moving the implement. Do not allow long hair,
loose tting clothing or jewelry to be around
equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO
LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Motors or equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hear-
ing loss. We recommend that
you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis
if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds
80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis
can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over
90db adjacent to the Operator over a long-term
basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from trac-
tors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources
close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime
without hope of natural recovery.
4. Clear working area of debris, trash or hidden
obstacles that might be hooked or snagged,
causing injury, damage or tripping.
5. Operate only in daylight or good articial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly anchored, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs
are properly installed and in good condition.
8. Before starting, give the machine a "once over"
for any loose bolts, worn parts, cracks, leaks,
frayed belts and make necessary repairs. Always
follow maintenance instructions.
