3F Full Load Operation
During the regular operation of your conveyor, one person must be in position to monitor the
operation. It is also good practice to visually inspect the conveyor periodically during the
actual operation. You should be alert for unusual vibrations, noises, and loosening of
fasteners.

DANGER: Clear the area of all bystanders, especially children.
!
1. Keep all safety shields and devices in place.
2. Ensure that everyone is clear of the work area before operating or moving the
machine.
3. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.
4. Regulate the amount of grain entering the conveyor to keep it from overloading.
5. Shut off the power and lock out the power source before adjusting, servicing, or
cleaning the conveyor.

NOTE: To get full capacity from the belt conveyor, the intake should be "flood fed" as often
as possible. Try to keep the intake as full as possible without spilling product over the sides.
