4.1 TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
The Mayo Manufacturing Straight or Telescoping
Conveyor is designed to be used as a stand alone
unit or part of a system to convey potatoes from one
location to another. Be familiar with the machine be-
fore starting.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator
to read this manual and to train all other opera-
tors before they start working with the machine.
Follow all safety instructions exactly. Safety is
everyone's business. By following recommended
procedures, a safe working environment is pro-
vided for the operator, bystanders and the area
around the worksite. Untrained operators are not
qualied to operate the machine.
Many features incorporated into this machine are the
result of suggestions made by customers like you.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate the
machine safely and how to set it to provide maximum
efficiency. By following the operating instructions in
conjunction with a good maintenance program, your
Straight or Telescoping Conveyor will provide many
years of trouble-free service.
