MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
It shall be the responsibility of the employer who operates the equipment to ensure the proper caring for, cleaning,
inspecting, and maintaining of compaction equipment, in the case of employers who maintain their own equipment,
the training of competent personnel for this purpose.
It shall be the responsibility of the employer to establish and follow a program of periodic and regular inspections of
compaction equipment, and to ensure that all parts, auxiliary equipment, and safeguards are in safe operating
condition and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedures. The employer shall
maintain records of these inspections and of maintenance work performed.
Before performing any service and/or maintenance, OSHA
regulation 1910.147 for LOCKOUT/TAGOUT must be read,
understood and followed when performing any service and/or
maintenance.
Follow all company procedures for LOCKOUT/TAGOUT policy.
Disable or de-energize all systems and apply energy control
measures. Also consider stored energy.
Before entering the compactor after LOCKOUT/TAGOUT,
OSHA regulation 1910.146 for CONFINED SPACE must be
read, understood and followed when performing any service

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid
injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized hydraulic hoses, resulting in severe burns to
yourself and bystanders. Do not heat by welding, or using a
torch near hoses. Hose can be accidentally cut when heat
goes beyond the immediate flame area.
