Remember | Sterling 882.00722.00 instruction

Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe practices. Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor or appropriate person.

REMEMBER:

•NEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous location.

•NEVER operate, service, or adjust the rate monitor without appropriate training and first reading and understanding this manual.

•NEVER try to pull material out of the rate monitor with your hands while it is running!

Before you start the GH Hopper check the following:

•Remove all tools from the unit;

•Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars) are laying in the feeding area.

Note: If your rate monitor has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings before starting the unit.

Note: At the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify that the controls and other auxiliary equipment are functioning properly.

Note: 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.

Note: When changing control settings to perform a different mode of operation, be sure selector switches are correctly positioned. Locking selector switches should only be adjusted by authorized personnel and the keys removed after setting.

Report the following occurrences IMMEDIATELY:

•Unsafe operation or condition

•Unusual action

•Leakage

•Improper maintenance

Note: NEVER stand or sit where you could slip or stumble into the rate monitor while working on it.

Note: DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can be caught while working on a rate monitor. In addition, cover or tie back long hair.

Note: Clean the rate monitor and surrounding area DAILY, and inspect the machine for loose, missing or broken parts.

Note: Shut off power to the GH Hopper when it is not in use. Turn the switch to the OFF position, or unplug it from the power source.
