    SECTION 2 UNLOADING The MARCH 300 System is shipped from the factory partially disassembled. Only qualified riggers should be used for removal of equipment from the carrier. A CINCINNATI INCORPORATED service representative may be on hand to supervise unloading. In the event a service representative is unavailable upon arrival of the system, the customer is responsible for unloading and verifying the contents from the factory.

  • Page 14: Installation

    INSTALLATION Installation and final checkout is to be performed by qualified CINCINNATI INCORPORATED service personnel. Failure to do so may void the MARCH 300 System warranties. EM-580 (N-04-19)

  • Page 15: Safety

    However, even these high standards have limitations. Safety requirements call for administrative and procedural controls to be incorporated in the use of the MARCH 300 System in order to minimize or eliminate the potential of personal injury during material processing.

  • Page 16: Safety Circuits

    OPERATING PERSONNEL Operating personnel are responsible for the productive use of the MARCH 300 System over the full range of its intended function. These persons should be thoroughly familiar with all operating controls, adjustments, and hazards associated with their function.

  • Page 17: Training

    Because of the high electrical energies used in the MARCH 300 System, electrocution hazards are possible. Before any maintenance or service is undertaken, ensure that the MARCH 300 System has been isolated from the electrical supply and all other precautions are taken as prescribed in this manual and the other component manuals provided.

  • Page 18: Moving Machine Members

    Be alert to moving parts and follow safety procedures due to contact with the moving components of the MARCH 300 System. Never walk or stand on any part of the MARCH 300 System, when machine motion is possible. This can result in severe injury.

  • Page 19: Warning (928570)
