LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT INSTRUCTIONS
FOREWORD:
Before entering any part of the compactor, be sure that
all sources of energy have been shut off, all potential 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.
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 key switch and take it with you.
HYDRAULIC:
Stored hydraulic energy must
be removed from the compactor 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 each coil end of
the directional control valve.

ELECTRICAL: The motor control panel contains high
voltage components. Only authorized service personnel

personnel should be allowed inside the panel only after
the compactor has been locked-out and tagged-out.
