BEFORE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
READ OPERATION/MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES CAREFULLY
Improper maintenance could cause serious injury (crush or burn) and damage the machine.
Read and understand the maintenance procedures (preparation for safe work, proper tools, qualifications,
important parts, supervisor designation and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, etc.) described in
the manuals before safely and carefully inspecting and performing maintenance on the machine.
CONFIRM JOB PROCEDURES
To prevent accidents, confirm all work procedures before starting.
USE A SIGNAL PERSON AND A FLAGMAN
Know and use the hand signals required for particular jobs and confirm who has the responsibility for signaling:
All personnel must know and understand all the signals.
The operator shall respond to signals only from the appointed signal person, but shall obey a stop signal from
anyone at any time.
The signal person must stand in a clearly visible location when giving the signals.
ORGANIZE AND CLEAN UP WORKING SITE
Inspecting and maintaining the machine at a messy working site may cause personal injury.
Clear obstacles, grease, oil, paint, debris, etc., from the working site.
ATTACH A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Never allow unauthorized personnel to start the
engine or touch the control levers during inspection
and maintenance activities.
• Always lower the attachment, pull the control lock
lever up, stop the engine, and remove the key before
performing maintenance.
• Use a temporary "DO NOT OPERATE" hang tag to
communicate that the machine is out of service. You
may need to use more than one temporary hang tag
depending on the work to be performed.
• Always have an operator at the controls to shut down
the machine if the machine needs to be running for
maintenance activity or an inspection. The operator
and the maintenance personnel must have a means of communication when performing these tasks.
USE PROPER TOOLS
To prevent serious injury or death, do not use of damaged tools or tools not intended for the task.
