LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT INSTRUCTIONS 2-1
ELECTRICAL: The motor control panel contains high
voltage components. Only authorized service person-
nel should be allowed inside the panel. Authorized ser-
vice personnel should be allowed inside the panel only
after the compactor has been locked-out and tagged-
out.
FOREWORD: Before entering any part of the compactor, be
sure that all sources of energy have been shut off, all poten-
tial hazards have been eliminated, and the compactor is
locked-out and tagged-out in accordance with OSHA and
ANSI requirements. If the ram is pressing against a load, move the
ram rearward before shutting the compactor down. 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.
2 MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC: Stored hydraulic energy must
be removed from the compactor hydraulic cir-
cuit 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 each coil end of the
directional control valve.
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.” or
“Warning: Do not energize without the permission of ________________.”
4. After locking and tagging the compactor, try to start and operate the
compactor (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.
