4.7 MACHINE PREPARATION
The machine must be properly prepared prior to us-
ing. Before starting machine, be sure that the follow-
ing items are appropriate for your machine and oper-
ating requirements:
1. Power:
Have a licensed electrician provide power at the
required voltage, phase and amperage for your
machine. An improper source of power will cause
damage to electrical components and could cre-
ate an electrical hazard to the operator, workers or
bystanders.
Be sure to use an extension cord of the correct
specications for the power being carried. Route
the cord so that it does not interfere with the work-
ing area. Provide appropriate protection when peo-
ple or equipment must go over the cord. Inspect
the cord occasionally to be sure it is not damaged.
Replace immediately if it is damaged.
2. Hitch:
Conveyors are equipped with a hitch for towing de-
pending on its specications. Hitches must be re-
moved, retracted or hinged out of the way prior to
the conveyor being used to prevent interfering with
workers or adjacent equipment.
3. Tractive Drive System (Optional):
Congure the optional tractive drive into its oper-
ating mode. Move the control bracket toward the
wheel to engage the drive and secure with the re-
tainer to prevent disengaging.
