Allow for machine movement, electrical line sway or sag and beware of strong or gusty winds. Keep away from the machine if it contacts energized power lines. Personnel must not operate or move the machine until energized power lines are shut off. Do not operate the machine during lightning or storms .
SETUP HAZARD Setup Hazards Check work area for overhead obstructions or other possible hazards. Do not use the machine whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Ensure machine is securely fastened at the top and brakes are on before use. Do not alter or disable machine components that in any way affect safety and stability.
FALL HAZARD Fall Hazards Always erect a safety barrier to prevent access through underside of machine. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. Do not lean over machine while belt is moving. Do not lean over discharge head of machine whilst loading / unloading. Ensure loading guides are set central to the load and machine frame.
Bodily Injury Hazard Use common sense and planning when installing and operating the machine. Keep hands and limbs away from moving belt. Always wear correct PPE. P a g e...

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION Do not operate unless: You are trained, authorised and have learnt and practiced the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual. 1 Avoid hazardous situations. 2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection. Know and understand the pre-operation inspection before going on to the next section.
Fundamentals It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation inspection and routine maintenance. The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each work shift. The inspection is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine before the operator performs the function tests.
Page 15
Pre Operation Inspection tasks: Be sure that all decals are legible and in place. See Decals section. Be sure the main belt is properly tensioned and in good condition. Be sure the belt carriers are secure and in good condition. Be sure the correct accessories are present.
MAINTENANCE Observe and Obey Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual shall be performed by the operator. Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be completed by qualified service technicians, according to the manufacturer's specifications and the requirements specified in the responsibility’s manual. Maintenance symbols legend The following symbols have been used in this manual to help communicate the intent of the instructions.
Check main belt tension and tracking: Maintaining the proper belt tension is essential to good machine performance and service life. Operating the machine with an improper belt tension can damage machine components. Check belt tension whilst power is off. 1. The main belt will only need to be tensioned if it is slipping under load. 2.
Check wheel brakes Maintaining the brakes is an essential aspect of machine maintenance. Whilst erecting a machine the operator depends on the brakes functioning. Check brake function whilst machine is flat on the ground. 1. Move the brake arm back and forth to its extent of travel. Ensure it moves freely.
Scheduled Maintenance Maintenance performed quarterly and annually must be completed by a person trained and qualified to perform maintenance on this machine according to the procedures found in the service manual for this machine. Machines that have been out of service for more than three months must receive the quarterly inspection before they are put back into service.
FUNCTION TESTS Do not operate unless: You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual. 1 Avoid hazardous situations. 2 Always perform function tests prior to operation. Know and understand the function tests before going on to the next section.
Page 21
Fundamentals The function tests are designed to discover any malfunctions before the machine is put into service. The operator must follow the step-by-step instructions to test all machine functions. A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be tagged and removed from service.
Page 22
Function tests: 1. Select and area that is firm level and free of obstruction. 2. Unfold machine, insert pin through hinge and place end of machine on floor. 3. Plug handset into top of machine. 4. Plug 110v power into input socket. o Observe the centre red button on control box.
Page 23
At the handset controls: 12. Press the forward button. o The belt should move forwards. 13. Press the centre stop button. o The belt should stop 14. Press the reverse button. o The belt should move in reverse. If the machine fails any of these function tests, it should be removed from service and repaired.
WORKPLACE INSPECTION Do not operate unless: You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual. 1 Avoid hazardous situations. 2 Always perform function tests prior to operation. 3 Always perform function tests prior to use. 4 Inspect the workplace.
Fundamentals The workplace inspection helps the operator determine if the workplace is suitable for safe machine operation. It should be performed by the operator prior to moving the machine to the workplace. It is the operator's responsibility to read and remember the workplace hazards, then watch for and avoid them while moving, setting up and operating the machine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Do not operate unless: You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual. 1 Avoid hazardous situations. 2 Always perform function tests prior to operation. 3 Always perform function tests prior to use. 4 Inspect the workplace.
Fundamentals The Operating Instructions section provides instructions for each aspect of machine operation. It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the safety rules and instructions in the operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals. This conveyor was designed to transport solid (non-liquid/ non-dangerous) material such as stone, sand, rubble and soil.
Page 28
Operating Instructions: 1. To prevent risk of injury or damage to the machine, first select a suitable level area to open machine. Always check for overhead obstructions i.e. branches, cables etc. prior to opening the machine. 2. Lock wheel brakes on, then with man 1 standing on the hoop at the base of machine to counterbalance weight, (man 1 must remain in position to counterbalance machine throughout opening sequence).
Page 29
4. With man 2 supporting the machine at centre, (fig 3). Man 1 releases the brakes and walks the base backwards until the machine is fully open. 5. Detach clip and remove hinge pin from belt retaining device (RH) then locate pin through the hinge (LH) and replace clip.

7. Once the machine head is on the scaffold, the stand can be positioned and fixed either to the scaffold boards or roof. (Fig. 5.) Alternatively the head can be clamped to the handrail using the clamp provided. (Fig. 6.) Ensure returning belt carriers clear scaffold before starting machine.
Page 31
9. Fitting centre prop (10 metre machine only). Hook centre prop over prop rest on machine then push up adjust with lever until prop is vertical with machine straight. Prop is self-locking when extended, however lever must be lifted to retract. Never operate 10 metre machine without prop in place as machine will be unstable.
TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS Observe and Obey: Common sense and planning must be applied to control the movement of the machine when moving it with a forklift. The transport vehicle must be parked on a level surface. The machines brakes must remain on whilst being transported. Securing to Truck or Trailer for Transit: Always check the machine wheel brakes are on in preparation for transport.
