Some of the safety devices utilize a manual activator. This is the method
of initiating the safety lock out. This may be in the form of a plug,
disconnect plug, lever or a handle. Within this lockable handle, there may
be a location for a padlock. Personnel servicing the equipment should
place a padlock in the lockout handle.
WARNING! Always disconnect and lockout all electrical power and pneumatic
(i.e. compressed air) sources prior to servicing or cleaning any
Blend and Reclaim blender, including all SGB units. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury.
At no time must anyone remove the lockout or reconnect the twist
plug, other than the person who installed the lockout or who
unplugged the twist plug.
