Check (safety) provisions
The basic Spiral Elevator supplied by FlexLink does not include any
additional safety provisions such as isolators, stop/start devices,
emergency stopping systems or guards at the in-feed / out-feed ends.
Any issues with regard to the safety items should be investigated and
discussed with the designer of the control and safety system.
Below is a check list for some general safety items.
Should the (safety) provisions not function as expected, they should be set
or adjusted again or repaired by the person responsible
(installer / technician).
