Sandvik QA140 2010 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for the Screener

I’ve seen too many guys get hurt messing with heavy equipment because they were guessing on safety procedures or using copied manuals. The Sandvik QA140 2010 Operators Manual is the only document you should trust if you’re running or working on this screener. It’s 336 pages of factory specs, not some rehashed scan from a third-party site. I’ve been in the shop for 28 years, and I know the difference between OEM data and something that’ll leave you with a hydraulic line in your face. This covers exactly what you need to operate and maintain the QA140 without guessing.

Safety Section: More Than Just Decals

Section 1 of the manual runs from safety essentials through decal locations. Page 4 holds the Declaration of Conformity and serial number fields—useful when you need to verify the machine against EC standards. The manual breaks down color-coded safety signs, mandatory action symbols, and prohibited actions. It’s not a generic safety chapter; it’s specific to the QA140. You’ll find personal protective equipment requirements, noise level measurement procedures, and organizational measures. Most important: the lockout and tagout procedure in Section 4.9 is the same one Sandvik uses in their own service bays. Copy that sequence exactly.

Does This Manual Cover Transport and Setup?

Section 2 covers transport and technical data. You get the pre-start instructions for moving the machine, tracking procedures, and how to close down the vibrating grid. The manual even tells you how to remove the exhaust extension before loading. Transport dimensions are listed with imperial units. Section 4 walks you through commissioning—setting up the jacking legs, maintenance platforms, side conveyors, main conveyor height, and the shredder. If you’re putting a QA140 into service after it’s been sitting, this section saves you from bending something because you didn’t follow the order.

7 Systems Covered in the Operations Chapter

Section 5, Operations, is where you’ll spend most of your time. The manual covers: (1) starting procedure with the remote control and electrical box, (2) operating the machine for screening, (3) adjusting conveyor speeds—RH, LH, main, and hopper feeder, (4) installation and removal of the hopper mesh, (5) loading material correctly, (6) emergency stop locations and how to operate them, and (7) tracking the machine. Each procedure has a required tool list—for example, adjusting conveyor speed needs the control box panel and a torx driver for the control box cover. Skip the tool prep and you’ll be chasing a lost fastener.

Lockout/Tagout: The Procedure That Saves Lives

When you need to work on the QA140 with the engine off, Section 4.9 walks you through lockout and tag—including the un-tag procedure and how to use a gang tag. Page 4 of the manual shows the mandatory conformity data, but the real meat is in the step-by-step instructions. I’ve seen techs skip the isolation steps and get a conveyor start on them. This manual’s procedure is clear: isolate, tag, verify. No shortcuts.

OEM vs Aftermarket: Why This Manual Matters

The manual you’re looking at is the original Sandvik print from 2010, document number QA140-en-30614. Not a reprint, not a copy. I’ve used aftermarket manuals for other screens—they miss decal locations, skip the vibration levels table, and sometimes transpose the conveyor speed adjustment sequence. This one gives you the factory wiring for the electrical control box, the exact hydraulic control layout, and the conforming safety data. If you’ve ever had a machine fail an inspection because your manual didn’t match the decals, you’ll appreciate having the real thing.
