•Clean the feeder and surrounding area DAILY, and inspect the machine for loose, missing or broken parts.

•Shut off power to the feeder when it is not in use. Turn the switch to the OFF position, or unplug it from the power source.

Maintenance Responsibility

Proper maintenance is essential to safety. If you are a maintenance worker, you must make safety a priority to effectively repair and maintain equipment.

Before removing, adjusting, or replacing parts on a machine, remember to turn off all electric supplies and all accessory equipment at the machine, and disconnect and lockout electrical power. Attach warning tags to the disconnect switch.

When you need to perform maintenance or repair work on equipment above floor level, use a solid platform or a hydraulic elevator. If there is a permanently installed catwalk on your equipment, use it. The work platform should have secure footing and a place for tools and parts. DO NOT climb on equipment, machines, or work from ladders.

If you need to repair a large component, use appropriate handling equipment. Before you use handling equipment (portable “A” frames, electric boom trucks, fork trucks, overhead cranes) be sure the load does not exceed the capacity of the handling equipment or cause it to become unstable.

Carefully test the condition of lifting cables, chains, ropes, slings, and hooks before using them to lift a load.

Be sure that all non-current carrying parts are correctly connected to earth ground with an electrical conductor that complies with current codes. Install in accordance with national and local codes.

When you have completed the repair or maintenance procedure, check your work and remove your tools, rigging, and handling equipment.

Do not restore power to the equipment until all persons are clear of the area. DO NOT start and run the machine until you are sure all parts are functioning correctly.

BEFORE you turn the machine over to the operator for production, verify all equipment enclosure panels, guards and safety devices are in place and functioning properly.

Reporting a Safety Defect

If you believe that your equipment has a defect that could cause injury, you should immediately discontinue its use and inform the manufacturer.

The principle factors that can result in injury are failure to follow proper operating procedures (i.e. lockout/tagout), or failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment.
