1-4 Warnings and Precautions
Our equipment is designed to provide safe and reliable operation when installed and operated
within design specifications, following national and local safety codes.
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage when installing, operating, or
maintaining this dryer, use good judgment and follow these safe practices:
; Never place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous location.
; Never operate, service, or adjust the dryer without appropriate training and first
reading and understanding this manual.
; Never try to pull material out of the dryer with your hands while it is running.
; Before you start the dryer, remove all objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars) from
the hopper area.
; If your dryer has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings before starting the
unit.
; At the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify that the controls and other
auxiliary equipment are functioning properly.
; Keep all safety guards in place and in good repair. Never attempt to bypass, modify,
or remove safety guards. Such alteration is not only unsafe, but will void the
warranty on your equipment.
; When changing control settings to perform a different mode of operation, be sure
selector switches are correctly positioned. Locking selector switches should be
adjusted only by authorized personnel, and the keys removed after setting.
; Report unsafe operation, unsafe conditions, unusual dryer action, leakage, and
improper maintenance immediately.
; Never stand or sit where you could slip or stumble into the dryer while working on it.
; Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can be caught while working on a
dryer. In addition, cover or tie back long hair.
; Clean the dryer and surrounding area daily, and inspect the machine for loose,
missing, or broken parts.
; Shut off power to the dryer when it is not in use. Turn the switch to the off position,
or unplug it from the power source.
; Never attempt to move the dryer while it is in operation.
; Always allow time for the dryer to cool off before moving it or servicing the fuse or
air filter.
