• NEVER stand or sit where you could slip or stumble
into the feeder while working on it.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can
be caught while working on the feeder. In addition,
cover or tie back long hair.
• Clean the feeder and surrounding area DAILY, and inspect the
machine for loose, missing or broken parts.
• Shut off power to the feeder when it is not in use. Turn the
switch to the OFF position, or unplug it from the power
source.
2-7 Maintenance Responsibility
Safety is essential to the good health of both operator and machine.
If you are a maintenance worker, you must make safety a priority
in order to effectively repair and maintain equipment.
BEFORE REMOVING, ADJUSTING, OR REPLACING
PARTS ON A MACHINE, REMEMBER TO DO THE
FOLLOWING:
• TURN OFF all air and electric supplies and all accessory
equipment at the machine.
• DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT electrical and pneumatic
power, and attach warning tags to the disconnect switch and air
shutoff valve.
When you need to perform maintenance or repair work on the
feeder above floor level, use a solid platform or a hydraulic
elevator. If there is a permanently installed catwalk around your
feeder, use it. The work platform should have secure footing and a
place for tools and parts. DO NOT climb on machines or work
from ladders.
If you need to repair a large component, use appropriate handling
equipment. Before you use handling equipment (portable “A”
frames, electric boom trucks, fork trucks, overhead cranes) be sure
the load does not exceed the capacity of the handling equipment or
cause it to become unstable.
Carefully test the condition of lifting cables, chains, ropes, slings,
and hooks before using them to lift a load.
