 2. SAFETY

WARNING
Do not perform any operation, maintenance or inspection until you have
read and fully understood the contents of this instruction manual.
 Keep this manual on hand for reference whenever any operation,
maintenance or inspection of the machine is being carried out.
 During operation, maintenance, or inspection, always follow all
instructions and warnings as stipulated in this manual. If you have
any questions or require clarification on any point, suspend
operation of the machine and contact the Satake office listed at the
end of this manual.
 Satake shall not be responsible for any injury, loss or damage
caused by failure to observe instructions in this manual, by misuse
or by unauthorized modification of the machine.

This chapter describes and defines all hazard warnings as well as safety precautions to be
observed during operation, maintenance, or inspection. Precautions are classified into two
groups: “General Instructions” and “Safety Precautions”.

2.1 Warning / Caution Types and Meanings
Hazard warnings in these instruction manual and warning stickers attached to the machine
main body are classified into the following three varieties, depending on the degree of
severity.
The operator must be made aware of the importance of these warnings and carefully
follow the instructions given in this manual.

Shows a potential hazard. Failure to adhere to this

warning may result
WARNING
In fatal or serious injury.

Shows a potential hazard which follow this, presents

CAUTION the possibility of minor injury, damage to the

2.2 General Instructions

WARNING
 The operator must adhere to the following guidelines in order to
ensure safety during operation, inspection, or maintenance of this
machine.

(1) Operator must have his hair cut short and wear clothes and shoes that are free of
stray or loose fabric in order to protect from inadvertent contact with machinery.
Always wear a helmet and safety shoes when carrying out any inspection or
maintenance.
(2) Ensure that passages around the machine, as well as all surrounding areas, are
kept clean at all times.
(3) Keep water and other liquids away from the machine. Contact with water or other
liquids can short electric circuits, subsequently causing the machine to break down.
(4) Always properly ground the machine in order to protect personnel from fires or
electric accidents caused by current leaks.
(5) Do not touch any live moving parts while the machine is powered on.
(6) Keep the operating area clear of any people other than those permitted by the
operator. Never let children near the machine.
(7) Always inspect the machine before starting operation. When carrying out any
inspection work, always power off and clearly indicate that the machine is under
inspection or maintenance both in the control room and on the control panel.
(8) Always power off before inspection and maintenance and affix an "Under Inspection"
sign over the power switch. After the inspection, be sure all tools are picked up.

6 E-D0371005-01
(9) Check all bolts, nuts, and belts for any looseness or damage. Be sure to replace all
covers after completing this check.
(10) Check for any cuts or damage to power cords, wiring, and cables. Ensure that all
connectors and plugs are seated properly
(11) Operate the machine with all covers in place. Do not attempt to remove any cover
while the machine is running.
(12) Always stop the machine before adding grease.
(13) All operators must familiarize themselves with the power off procedure in case of
emergency.
(14) When two or more persons operate the machine, each person must confirm
readiness to the others before starting the machine.
(15) Do not permit any person who has not been properly trained to operate the
machine.

7 E-D0371006-01
2.3 Special Precautions
(1) Install the machine on a level surface in a stable place. Unleveled or unstable
installation will cause vibration and poor machine performance.
(2) Do not use any part that is not specified in this instruction manual.
(3) Leave sufficient working space around the machine.
(4) Before turning the power on, confirm the safety of the area around the machine.
(5) Handle the machine with care. Improper handling of the machine may lead to
malfunction and machine failure..
(6) Always remain alert to any abnormality in the machine. If any abnormality is found,
stop operation and check the machine.
(7) When using a ladder, ensure that it is set in a stable location.
(8) If operating the machine in an area with a large amount of dust, wear a dust-proof
mask and goggles.
(9) If plant employees are unable to read or write, the owner of the plant must explicitly
draw their attention to any existing hazards and give special instruction.

2.4 Warning Stickers

! NOTE
Care Instructions for Warning Stickers:
 Check if letters and illustrations on the sticker are legible; if
illegible, remove dirt on the sticker or replace it.
 Use cloth, water, or cleanser to remove dirt. Do not use organic
solvent or gasoline.
 If a sticker is damaged, lost, or illegible even after cleaning,
replace it with a new one.

This machine is provided with warning stickers in locations where special precaution is
required. It is important for operators to know the location and content of each sticker and
to follow all instructions in order to prevent accidents.

25 E-D0311017-00
 8. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

! WARNING
 Turn off the power switch and the breaker first before starting examination of the
machine and display a signboard notifying “UNDER INSPECTION”.

(1) Check the tension and offset of bucket belt at the upper and lower pulleys.
 Check the setting position of the upper tension spring. (see Fig. 6-3 Tension
Device of Bucket Belt)

(4) Check again the tightness of set bolts for V-pulley/sprocket and the tension of V-
belt/chain.
(5) Check the rotation direction and amperage.

27 E-D0311019-00
 9. OPERATION

! WARNING
 Be sure the followings when removing the case cover.
 Turn OFF the main power before removing the case cover. Post a sign,
“UNDER INSPECTION”.
 The bucket belt is not turning.
 Then remove the lower case cover.
 Do not insert your hand in the lower section directly to avoid injuring.
 Be careful with sudden turning of bucket belt by the grain weight.

! CAUTION
 Do not open the cover during the operation for safety.

(1) Feed the material at an appropriate flow rate for the capacity.
 For flow rate adjustment ,adjust the opening degree of shutter not to allow the
material to rebound.
(2) If the elevator is clogged, close the shutter (if not shutter is provided, stop feeding in
the proceeding processes), turn off the motor switch and remove the case cover as
shown in the figure. Remove the material inside so that the bucket elevator can
move smoothly and mount the cover again.

 10. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION
 Prior to cleaning or inspecting parts, turn off the power switch and the breaker and
display an “UNDER INSPECTION” notice.

(1) Check the tension of the bucket belt before starting operation. If no tightening allowance
with the adjusting handle exists, shorten the belt.
 At an initial state, the bucket belt is easily extended.
(2) Check that bolts and nuts are firmly tightened (especially at rotating sections). (every 6
months)
(3) Check the tension of V-belt/chain periodically. (every 6 months)
(4) Apply grease to the upper and lower bearing section periodically. ( every year)
(5) Check the setting position of the upper tension spring.
 If the bucket belt is loosened, the elevator may not work.
(6) When harvest season is over or when the material is changed, remove the lower case cover
to take out remaining grains.
(7) Bran, etc. will adhere to the hopper and chute port sections. Open the inspection window
and clean inside from time to time.
(8) Exchange the grease for removing the bolts (motor side) of the outer gear frame section.
Use the following grease for the equivalent except the specification of geared motor.
Brand / Model : Shell / Retinax EPX2 Grease

CAUTION
 Do not mix the different kind of grease to avoid deterioration.

(9) Check items should be carefully followed, especially at an initial stage of operation.
