2.3.1Safety instructions, safety in the workplace
This installation manual must be read through in full prior to commencing work on the product or the customer's conveyor belt.
The operator must ensure that all installation, inspections, and maintenance tasks are carried out exclusively by authorised experts.
All work on conveyor belts and their accessories must always be
carried out only when the system is at a standstill. It is essential that
the procedures described in the relevant installation manual which
explain how to shut down the conveyor system are followed.
Introduction
Upon completion of work, all safety equipment and protective
guards must be reinstalled and put back into operation.
Prior to commissioning, installation must be completed. Before the
conveyor belt can be put back into operation, the flawless execution
of all steps should be checked and verified. All notes on installation
and commissioning of the product should be observed.
The operator of this product must ensure that the personnel entrusted with the installation, maintenance and use of this product are only
those personnel who
•are fully aware of regulations governing safety at work and
accident prevention,
•are instructed in the use of the product and have read and
understood this installation manual in full.

The MARTIN® QC™ #1 HD MT primary cleaner or MARTIN® PD
™
QC
#1 HD MT primary cleaner with tungsten carbide (TC) inserts
enables effective elimination of return material and quick replacement by loosening only one bolt holding the durable primary cleaner
cartridge. By choosing the installation position of the primary cleaner
at the head pulley and the secondary cleaner just after the head pulley it is ensured that the cleaned off is again fed to the material flow.
The primary and the secondary cleaners can be used individually,
but for optimum cleaning results it is recommended to install a combined system of pre- and primary cleaners.
NOTE
A product that has not been installed properly or correctly may disrupt the conveyance process and contaminate the bulk material to
be transported.
The operator is therefore responsible for implementing the necessary counter measures.
When using with contaminants Martin Engineering or a representative can help with the positioning or customized solutions.
