before performing any Maintenance

. Take whatever steps are necessary to 

make sure the unit cannot be re-energized until Maintenance is over (such as 

Lockout/Tagout). Because the unit uses electrical and pneumatic energy, you could 

be electrocuted or even killed if the unit is powered back on during Maintenance.
