Installation Safety - Walinga Airlock 1008 Operator's Manual

Replace any safety sign or instructional sign that has been damaged or become illegible. The
most common locations and a reproduction of the safety signs located on pneumatic conveying
systems using an airlock are outlined later in this section. In addition to the design and
configuration of this implement, including safety signs and safety equipment, hazard control and
accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training
of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine.
Refer to the safety messages and operational instructions in each of the appropriate sections of
the auxiliary equipment and machine manuals. Pay careful attention to the safety signs affixed
to the auxiliary equipment and the machine.
Never use alcoholic beverages, narcotics, or other intoxicants which could hinder alertness or
coordination while operating an airlock. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while
taking prescription medications.
Under no circumstances should young children be allowed to work with this equipment. Do not
allow children or any other individuals to climb on or play around the airlock at any time. This
equipment is dangerous to children and individuals unfamiliar with its operation. The operator
must be a responsible, properly trained, and physically able person familiar with farm machinery
and trained in the airlock's operation. If there are elderly individuals assisting with farm work,
their physical limitations must be recognized and accommodated. Do not allow any individuals
to operate or assemble this machine until they have read and understood the safety precautions
and operational procedures in this manual.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to perform a task, or to do so safely,
is in question, do not attempt it. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may result in serious injury or death and may impair the function, safety or life of
the equipment, as well as void the warranty.

INSTALLATION SAFETY

● Disconnect and remove all mechanical locks, anchor chains and any other transport
devices that would hinder or prohibit the normal function of the airlock upon start-up.
Serious damage to the machine and/or personal injury to the operator or bystanders may
result from attempting to operate the machine while mechanical locking devices are still
attached and secured.
● Ensure there is a minimum of one additional individual available for assistance with
elevating, moving, or connecting other equipment.
