To avoid personal injury, all machinery must be turned off and locked out, prior to chain install-
tion, inspection, maintenance and removal.
Always use safety glasses to protect eyes. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety shoes
Support the chain to prevent uncontrolled movement of the chain and parts
Maintain tools in proper condition and assure their proper use. Use of chain assembly tools is
recommended when applicable.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect chain unless chain construction is clearly known and
understood
Do not reuse any sections of damaged chain because they may have been overloaded and
weakened
If any fl ame cutting, welding, etc. is to occur in the conveyor vicinity, take adequate precautions to
insure that no burning of any chain or other components occurs. If adequate protection cannot be pro-
vided, remove the chain and other plastic components from the conveyor and store in a safe location.
Thermoplastic and similar materials can burn and give off toxic fumes.
