LOADMASTER LEGACY 3 Series, Preventive Maintenance Manual

Page: 23 / 25

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT OVERVIEW
LOADMASTER includes this procedure as a bare-bones
(skeleton) lockout/tagout procedure. Your shop will need to
flesh-out this procedure out to suit your specific circumstances.
Your shop needs to develop a policy that outlines when this
procedure will be implemented; include all the lockout/tagout
call-outs throughout this manual.
Many times throughout this manual your will see the
expression (or similar)….
Shutdown the diesel, place
the ignition keys in your pocket, and place a sign
on the steering wheel which reads “DO NOT
START”.
This “phrasing” means the following (at the
minimum):
1- Be sure all the hydraulic control levers
are in their centered-neutral positions.
2- Place the vehicle transmission in
neutral.
3- Set the park brake to applied ON.
4- Turn the PTO rocker switch to OFF.
5- Turn the THRTL rocker switch to OFF.
6- Shut down (off) the diesel.
7- Place the vehicle ignition keys in your
pocket.
8- Place a sign on the steering wheel
that says, “DO NOT START ENGINE”.
9- Chock the vehicle tires.
The above 9 steps are a minimal, bare bones
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT procedure.
LOADMASTER supplies the chained steering wheel sign with
each unit shipped. Use plastic locking “ty-wraps” to attach the
sign to the steering wheel (the kind that must be “cut off” to
remove sign).
Your shop’s fully detailed LOCKOUT/TAGOUT procedure will
possibly include more steps than enumerated above.
