4. Assembly

Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.

4.1. Assembly Safety

• Do not take chances with safety. The components can be large, heavy, and hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, rated lifting equipment, and lifting points for the job.

• Carry out assembly in a large open area with a level surface.

• Always have two or more people assembling the conveyor.

• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.

• Tighten all fasteners according to their specifications. Do not replace or substitute bolts, nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the manufacturer.

• Stay away from overhead power lines and other obstructions during assembly. Contact with power lines can cause electrocution.

• Do not work in high winds.

4.2. Check Shipment

Unload the conveyor parts at the assembly site and compare the packing slip to the shipment. Ensure that all items have arrived and that none are damaged.

Report missing or damaged parts immediately to ensure that proper credit is received from Batco or your distributor/dealer, and to ensure that any missing parts can be shipped quickly to avoid holding up the assembly process.

Important

Do not assemble or install damaged components.
