In order to limit at a maximum the noise level of the machine, housings and protections have to be set and
fixed as recommended.
J COMMISSIONING
The start-up can only be implemented by MAF AGROBOTIC staff, as they are the only ones to
be qualified for this task.
J.1 Start-up
To avoid any untimely or dangerous start, different security procedures have to be applied:
The machine must only be started, after checking that there are no people in restricted areas and
protected of the machines.
When a group of machines is started by using a black push button with a black background label,
it sets off a siren for 3 seconds before the machine starts.
The machine must only be started by pressing the start push button after disengaging the
emergency stop Machine button.
These precautions are required after each accidental power failure or a deliberate shut down by a user.
Emergency stop: lockable, red punch buttons with yellow background (to be found on several
places of the installation): allow all the machines to be stopped when an emergency stop is pushed.
These are used only in emergencies: for personal safety and security.
Machine stop: lockable, black punch buttons with a red background rectangular label, black
letters (to be found in several places on the machine) enable to stop the concerned sector or the
concerned machine but not the whole installation. These are used to protect the machines.
None
It is the MAF AGROBOTIC technical staffs who are in charge of the start-up that trains the customers
personnel to use, clean and maintain the installation properly.
It is strictly forbidden to work on the machine while it is operating. The interventions are only allowed if
the power supply is off.
It is strictly forbidden to try to intervene on the inlets or outlets of the brusher in operation: progressor
danger.
Area identified by crushing risk pictograms.
Keep long hair tied up and avoid wearing loose clothes near the moving parts of the machine.
The staff must be equipped by his employer with personal protective equipment required for the activity
assigned (Article R4321-4 of the Labour Code).

SAFETY RULES
Offloading must be carried out by competent technical personnel, acknowledged by the purchaser of
the installation. These personnel are aware of safety rules and watch out for equipment moving until it
is located on its definitive place, in order to avoid any accident. To this aim, they respect the use of
transport and stop points.
It is the customer's responsibility to determine the appropriate way of offloading. According to the
purchased equipment, he will have to think about necessary personnel, appropriate lifting and
handling material not to shock the machine when offloading and positioning it.
The mobile parts of the machine that cannot be used for the stop and transport points must be detected
and avoided. To this aim, the purchaser must be informed about the technical characteristics and the
materials it is made of.
If possible, the equipment should be offloaded in covered premises, in order to avoid possible damages
that might be caused by rain, dust or sand that can come into the mobile parts of the machine
VERY IMPORTANT
THE MACHINE MUST BE CORRECTLY OFFLOADED. IN CASE OFFLOADING IS MADE
WITHOUT RESPECTING SAFETY RULES AND/OR WITH BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS,
THIS COULD CAUSE AN EARLY AND ABNORMAL WEAR OF THE MACHINE AND
AFFECTS ITS RUNNING.
IF THIS IS THE CASE, A CHECKING AND AN INTERVENTION BEFORE AND DURING
ASSEMBLY WILL BE NECESSARY.
Several workers and a forklift might be necessary for the handling and definitive positioning of some
machines (lift capacity by defect/forklift: 3, 5 tons). If more than 2 forklifts are necessary, a crane would
be preferable for safety and quickness reasons.
Parts of the machine can be lifted with forklifts fitted with fork extension.
Parts must be lifted by the points marked on the parts of the machine.
Any other precision about handling means will be indicated in the sales contract at the time of the
order confirmation.
