• Observe the facility guidelines that are related to loose clothing while working around
or operating the QSHT transport system.
• It may be recommended that hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids, be used
during routine maintenance procedures. Read and understand the hazardous materials
policies for the facility and the Safety Data Sheet (provided by the manufacturer) for
each substance.
• Whenever power is applied, the possibility of automatic motion of the vehicles or
user-supplied equipment in the QSHT transport system exists. It is the responsibility
of the user to provide appropriate safeguards.
• Make sure that propulsion power is disabled whenever maintenance is being per-
formed on the vehicles, track system, or motors.
• Make sure that the QSHT motors and related components are properly decontaminated
before performing any service by following the decontamination procedures at the
facility. Follow all facility, local, and national procedures for the disposal of any haz-
ardous materials.
• Ergonomic hazards can exist with certain installation or service operations that are
related to the QSHT transport system.
Equipment Safety Guidelines
The following safety considerations are provided to aid in the placement and use of the Quick-
Stick HT transport system.
• If hazardous materials are to be present, proper safety precautions must be observed.
Make sure that all materials that are used are compatible with the materials from
which the QSHT components are fabricated.
• If the QSHT transport system is to be installed in an earthquake prone environment,
install the equipment accordingly.
• The QSHT components are not provided with an Emergency Off (EMO) circuit. The
facility where the system is installed is responsible for an EMO circuit (see E-stops on
page 251 for more information).
• Do not place the power and communication cables for the QSHT transport system
where they could cause a trip hazard.
• Do not place the QSHT transport system in a location where it could be subject to
physical damage.
• Make sure that all electrical connections to the QSHT components are made in accor-
dance with the appropriate facility, local, and national regulations.
• Make sure that the QSHT components receive proper airflow for cooling.
• Do not remove safety labels or equipment identification labels.
• Turn OFF power before inserting or removing the power cables.
