4.5 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Safe and efficient operation of your new Conveyor re-
quires that each operator reads and follows all safety
precautions and operating procedures contained in
this section. Performing the following pre-operation
checklist is important for personal safety as well as
for continued mechanical soundness and longevity
of your new Mayo conveyor. The checklist should be
performed before operating the conveyor and prior to
each operation thereafter.
1. Lubricate the machine according to the schedule
prescribed in the "Maintenance Section".
2. Insure that proper protective gear is in good repair
and available for use by each operator. Make cer-
tain that each operator uses the protective gear.
Protective gear includes but, is not limited to:
- Leather gloves

or face shield
- Full length pro-
tective clothing
- Steel toed
boots with slip
resistant soles.
3. Check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir as
prescribed in the "Maintenance Section".
4. Check for hydraulic leaks. Tighten ttings or re-
route hoses as required to maintain a leak-free
system.
5. Insure that all safety guards and shields are in
good repair and securely in place.
6. Check that the conveyor belt or chain is centered
on the head and tail rollers. Adjust if necessary as
outlined in the "Maintenance Section".
