WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Since there are so many factors to
consider, Cleasby Conveyors (CM)
cannot possibly provide you with an
exhaustive list of all conceivable hazards
or problems that may arise while
operating a conveyor. While so engaged,
you accept a demanding set of
responsibilities that cannot be delegated
to another. You must be ever mindful of
your responsibilities and care necessary
to perform your duties safely. (CM)
cannot anticipate and thus warn you
against all possible hazards. Therefore,
you must apply the warnings and
instructions provided both in the owner's
manual, video tape (see below) and
labels attached to the machinery in the
broadest sense. Do not limit them to the
particular situation or set of
circumstances described or depicted.
The intended use of (CM) truck-
mounted conveyors are to move a
variety of roofing materials-not people
or equipment, from the truck bed to an
elevated location such as a rooftop.
When you use the equipment for other
than its intended purpose, hazards
arise.
Because of the nature and function of the
equipment, some moving parts are
always exposed without benefit of shield
or guard. Use extreme care. READ ALL
WARNINGS AND WARNING
LABELS,
USE the truck-mounted conveyor unit
ONLY for its intended purpose, and no
other. Operate the equipment only after
you have been thoroughly trained in its
use, including viewing the safety video,
"Conveyors and Electricity Don't
Mix" (see page 1-6).
Persons
1.) Training prior to operating
equipment. Operate the equipment only
after being thoroughly trained in its
proper use, including reading the booklet
and viewing the video provided
"Conveyors and Electricity Don't
Mix". Since one type of conveyor unit
may operate differently than another,
ONLY operate equipment upon which
you have received specific training.
Training should include and anticipate
both normal and emergency conditions.
Users should be retrained in the safe
operation of the equipment every six (6)
months. If you have not operated the
equipment within the past 60 days,
retrain on the unit prior to using it.
2.) Health/Physical Requirements.
Operate the conveyor and turntable only
if you are free from health problems, or
physical or mental limitations that might
impair judgment or limit in anyway your
ability to operate the equipment safely.
Operator responsibilities typically
include loading or unloading the
conveyor with roofing materials. This
activity requires a high degree of
physical exertion. Accordingly, persons
with health problems or physical
limitations may unduly stress
themselves, aggravate existing health
conditions; and cause additional harm
due the physical demands associated
with this activity. In addition, such an
operator may be placing others at risk.
3.) Caution when lifting. Use caution
when lifting heavy objects. Failure to
observe proper procedures and due care
when lifting can result in bodily injury,
including but not limited to, hernias and
back stress. Wear a support belt.
