LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT INSTRUCTIONS

OFF

(Typical disconnect shown, other types may lock-out differently.)

FOREWORD: Before entering any part of the baler, be sure that all sources of energy have been shut off, all potential hazards have been eliminated, and the baler is locked-out and tagged-out in accordance with OSHA and ANSI requirements. Before servicing the hydraulic system or the inside of the bale chamber,

THE PLATEN MUST BE PROPERLY SUPPORTED AS SHOWN ON THE NEXT PAGE. The specific lock-out and tag-out instructions may vary from company to company (i.e. multiple locks may be required, or other machinery may need to be locked-out and tagged-out). The following instructions are provided as minimum guidelines.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Move the main disconnect lever to the OFF position.

2.Padlock the disconnect lever with a keyed padlock and take the key with you.

3.Along with the padlock, place an appropriate, highly visible, warning tag on the disconnect lever. The tag should provide a warning such

as: “ Danger: Do not operate equipment. Person working on equipment. Warning: Do not energize without the permission of _________________________.”

4.After locking and tagging the baler, try to start and operate the baler (as outlined in the Operating Instructions) to make sure the lock-out and tag-out is effective. If the lock-out and tag-out is effective, remove the key from the keyswitch and take with you.

ELECTRICAL: The panel box contains high voltage components. Only authorized service personnel should be allowed inside the box. Authorized service personnel should be allowed inside the box only after the baler has been locked-out and tagged-out.

HYDRAULIC: Stored hydraulic energy must be removed from the baler hydraulic circuit for complete lock-out and tag-out. Make sure that this energy has been relieved by manually depressing the solenoid valve pin located in the center of the coil end of each valve. See Diagrams on pages 2-4 and 2-11.
