1. General Safety Requirements—Vital Information for
Management Personnel

Incorrect installation, neglected preventive maintenance, abuse, and/or improper repairs, or
changes to the machine can cause unsafe operation and personal injuries, such as multiple
fractures, amputations, or death. The owner or his selected representative (owner/user) is
responsible for understanding and ensuring the proper operation and maintenance of the machine.
The owner/user must familiarize himself with the contents of all machine instruction manuals.
The owner/user should direct any questions about these instructions to a Milnor® dealer or the
Milnor® Service department.

Most regulatory authorities (including OSHA in the USA and CE in Europe) hold the owner/user
ultimately responsible for maintaining a safe working environment. Therefore, the owner/user
must do or ensure the following:

• recognize all foreseeable safety hazards within his facility and take actions to protect his
personnel, equipment, and facility;

• work equipment is suitable, properly adapted, can be used without risks to health or safety,
and is adequately maintained;

• where specific hazards are likely to be involved, access to the equipment is restricted to those
employees given the task of using it;

• only specifically designated workers carry out repairs, modifications, maintenance, or
servicing;

• information, instruction, and training is provided;

• workers and/or their representatives are consulted.

Work equipment must comply with the requirements listed below. The owner/user must verify
that installation and maintenance of equipment is performed in such a way as to support these
requirements:

• control devices must be visible, identifiable, and marked; be located outside dangerous zones;
and not give rise to a hazard due to unintentional operation;

• control systems must be safe and breakdown/damage must not result in danger;

• work equipment is to be stabilized;

• protection against rupture or disintegration of work equipment;

• guarding, to prevent access to danger zones or to stop movements of dangerous parts before
the danger zones are reached. Guards to be robust; not give rise to any additional hazards; not
be easily removed or rendered inoperative; situated at a sufficient distance from the danger
zone; not restrict view of operating cycle; allow fitting, replacing, or maintenance by
restricting access to relevant area and without removal of guard/protection device;

• suitable lighting for working and maintenance areas;

• maintenance to be possible when work equipment is shut down. If not possible, then
protection measures to be carried out outside danger zones;

• work equipment must be appropriate for preventing the risk of fire or overheating; discharges
of gas, dust, liquid, vapor, other substances; explosion of the equipment or substances in it.

1.1.

Laundry Facility

Provide a supporting floor that is strong and rigid enough to support–with a reasonable safety
factor and without undue or objectionable deflection–the weight of the fully loaded machine and
the forces transmitted by it during operation. Provide sufficient clearance for machine movement.

PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION

General Safety Requirements—Vital Information for Management Personnel

Provide any safety guards, fences, restraints, devices, and verbal and/or posted restrictions
necessary to prevent personnel, machines, or other moving machinery from accessing the
machine or its path. Provide adequate ventilation to carry away heat and vapors. Ensure service
connections to installed machines meet local and national safety standards, especially regarding
the electrical disconnect (see the National Electric Code). Prominently post safety information,
including signs showing the source of electrical disconnect.

1.2.

Personnel

Inform personnel about hazard avoidance and the importance of care and common sense. Provide
personnel with the safety and operating instructions that apply to them. Verify that personnel use
proper safety and operating procedures. Verify that personnel understand and abide by the
warnings on the machine and precautions in the instruction manuals.

WARNING 1 : Multiple Hazards

—Careless operator actions can kill or injure personnel,

damage or destroy the machine, damage property, and/or void the warranty.

• Do not tamper with or disable any safety device or operate the machine with a
malfunctioning safety device. Request authorized service.

• Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning machine. Request authorized service.

• Do not attempt unauthorized servicing, repairs, or modification.

• Do not use the machine in any manner contrary to the factory instructions.

• Use the machine only for its customary and intended purpose.

• Understand the consequences of operating manually.

1.3.

Safety Devices

Ensure that no one eliminates or disables any safety device on the machine or in the facility. Do
not allow machine to be used with any missing guard, cover, panel or door. Service any failing or
malfunctioning device before operating the machine.

DANGER 2 : Entangle and Sever Hazards

—Cylinder door interlock—Operating the
machine with a malfunctioning door interlock can permit opening the door when the cylinder is
turning and/or starting the cycle with the door open, exposing the turning cylinder.

• Do not operate the machine with any evidence of damage or malfunction.

WARNING 3 : Multiple Hazards

—Operating the machine with an inoperative safety device
can kill or injure personnel, damage or destroy the machine, damage property, and/or void the
warranty.

• Do not tamper with or disable any safety device or operate the machine with a

malfunctioning safety device. Request authorized service.

WARNING 4 : Electrocution and Electrical Burn Hazards

Operating the machine with any electric box door unlocked can expose high voltage conductors
inside the box.

• Do not unlock or open electric box doors.

WARNING 5 : Entangle and Crush Hazards

1.4.

Maintenance

Ensure the machine is inspected and serviced in accordance with the norms of good practice and
with the preventive maintenance schedule. Replace belts, pulleys, brake shoes/disks, clutch
plates/tires, rollers, seals, alignment guides, etc. before they are severely worn. Immediately
investigate any evidence of impending failure and make needed repairs (e.g., cylinder, shell, or
frame cracks; drive components such as motors, gear boxes, bearings, etc., whining, grinding,
smoking, or becoming abnormally hot; bending or cracking of cylinder, shell, frame, etc.; leaking
seals, hoses, valves, etc.) Do not permit service or maintenance by unqualified personnel.

WARNING 6 : Multiple Hazards

—Operating a damaged machine can kill or injure
personnel, further damage or destroy the machine, damage property, and/or void the warranty.

• Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning machine. Request authorized service.

WARNING 7 : Explosion Hazards

—Cylinder—A damaged cylinder can rip apart during

extraction, puncturing the shell and discharging metal fragments at high speed.

• Do not operate the machine with any evidence of damage or malfunction.

CAUTION 8 : Explosion Hazards

—Clutch and speed switch (multiple motor machines)—A
damaged clutch or speed switch can permit the low speed motor to engage during extract. This
will over-speed the motor and pulleys and can cause them to rip apart, discharging metal
fragments at high speed.

• Stop the machine immediately if any of these conditions occur: • abnormal whining sound

during extract • skidding sound as extract ends • clutches remain engaged or re-engage
during extract

2. The Safety Placards and Their Messages—Vital Information for
All Personnel

Safety placards are affixed to your Milnor® machine at the appropriate locations. These advise

maintained.

They must be replaced immediately, if lost or damaged.

documentation identifying the placards, their locations on the machine, and their replacement part
numbers.

The placarded message shown in Figure 1 reminds personnel to read the manuals first. This safety
manual explains the placarded messages in more detail. The various user manuals may also
contain detailed information regarding hazards addressed by the placards. If you are not clear
about a hazard, review all applicable manuals. If you are still unsure, consult your supervisor.

Figure 1: Message About Reading the Manuals

Placards must be kept clean so that the pictorials and wording are not obscured.

A parts page is provided in the

The other messages conveyed by the safety placards address hazards in general terms and remind
personnel to stop and think before performing certain actions. A placard may contain more than
one message. The following provides more specific information regarding each message and its
associated hazard(s). Each placarded message is shown first, followed by more detailed
information.
