• Observe the facility guidelines that are related to loose clothing while working around
or operating the MM LITE transport system.
• It may be recommended that hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids, be used
during routine maintenance procedures. Read and understand the hazardous materials
policies for the facility and the Safety Data Sheet (provided by the manufacturer) for
each substance.
• Whenever power is applied, the possibility of automatic motion of the vehicles (pucks)
or user-supplied equipment in the MM LITE transport system exists. It is the responsi-
bility of the user to provide appropriate safeguards.
• Make sure that propulsion power is disabled whenever maintenance is being per-
formed on the vehicles (pucks), track system, or motors.
• Make sure that the MM LITE motors and related components are properly decontami-
nated before performing any service by following the decontamination procedures at
the facility. Follow all facility, local, and national procedures for the disposal of any
hazardous materials.
• Ergonomic hazards can exist with certain installation or service operations that are
related to the MM LITE transport system.
Equipment Safety Guidelines
The following safety considerations are provided to aid in the placement and use of the Mag-
neMover LITE transport systems.
• If hazardous materials are to be present, proper safety precautions must be observed.
Make sure that all materials that are used are compatible with the materials from
which the MM LITE components are fabricated.
• If the MM LITE transport system is to be installed in an earthquake prone environ-
ment, install the equipment appropriately.
• The MM LITE components are not provided with an Emergency Off (EMO) circuit.
The facility where the system is installed is responsible for an EMO circuit (see
E-stops on page 332 for more information).
• Do not place the power and communication cables for the MM LITE transport system
where they could cause a trip hazard.
• Do not place the MM LITE transport system in a location where it can be subject to
physical damage.
• Make sure that all electrical and pneumatic connections to the MM LITE components
are made in accordance with the appropriate facility, local, and national regulations.
• Make sure that the MM LITE components receive proper airflow for cooling.
• Do not remove safety labels or equipment identification labels.
• Turn OFF power before inserting or removing the power cables.
