lockout procedures.

Proper Procedure
Proper lockout procedures should be followed
any time personnel enter a hazard zone. The primary hazard zones on
the Block Push Bottom Feeder are:
-
The lift area inside the main frame, extending to the
back of the block pusher and the separation conveyor.
-
The area underneath the Extendo conveyor, including
the tamper travel area.
Personnel should NOT go into these hazard areas
unless they have completed the “Hazardous Energy Lockout Procedure”
listed in the operator manual.
Please take time to reiterate the importance of
using proper lockout procedures with your personnel. Please contact
Alliance if you need additional copies of the operator or
maintenance manual.
