2.7 INSTALLATION SAFETY
1. Disconnect and remove all mechanical locks,
anchor chains and any other transport devices
that would hinder or prohibit the normal func-
tioning of the Conveyor upon start up. Serious
damage to the machine and/or personal injury
to the operator and bystanders may result from
attempting to operate the machine while me-
chanical locking devices are still attached.
2. Position the machine on rm, level ground be-
fore operating.
3. Extend leg ratchets to level the frame before
loading. Use a level to be sure.
4. Have at least one extra person available to
assist when elevating, moving or connecting to
other equipment.
5. Make certain that sufficient amperage, at the
proper voltage and frequency (60Hz) is available
before connecting power. If you are uncertain,
have a licensed electrician provide power to the
machine.
6. If using Conveyor as part of material handling
system, anchor securely to other equipment
before starting.
2.9 OPERATING SAFETY
1. Read and understand the Operator’s Manual
and all safety signs before operating, maintain-
ing, adjusting or repairing the Conveyor.
2. Turn machine OFF, shut down and lock out
power supply (safety lockout devices are avail-
able through your Mayo dealer parts depart-
ment), relieve hydraulic pressure and wait for all
moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting,
maintaining or repairing.
3. Install and properly secure all guards and
shields before operating.
4. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from
all moving parts.
5. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children, before starting.
6. Make sure all control switches are in the off
position before connecting power supply.
7. Extend leg ratchets to level the frame before us-
ing.
8. Before supplying electrical power to the ma-
chine, be sure that you have adequate amper-
age at the proper phase and voltage to run
it. If you do not know or are unsure, consult a
licensed electrician.
9. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic sys-
tem, make sure all components are tight and
that all steel lines, hoses and couplings are not
damaged.
10. Keep the working area clean and dry.
11. Review safety instructions annually.
2.8 LOCK-OUT TAG-OUT SAFETY
1. Establish a formal Lock-Out Tag-Out program for
your operation.
2. Train all operators and service personnel before
allowing them to work around the Conveyor.
3. Provide tags at the work site and a sign-up
sheet to record tag out details.
4. Do not service or maintain the Conveyor unless
motors are OFF and the power locked out at the
master panel. Keep others away.
