2.2. Safety Guidelines
This section provides safety guidelines to be observed when working with this

with the normal working of the machine. Operator training is required, and
training is provided in “Operation” on page 111

information” on page 60.

load. No one may remain underneath iBOTS with loads.

moving parts of the Sure Sort, such as the conveyor, can become jammed and/
or damaged by foreign objects. Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and jewelry
away from the moving parts.

(2.27 kg) or less. Do not sit, stand, or travel on any part of the conveyor system
