Safety Equipment
•
Ensure test equipment is in good condition.
•
If an instrument must be held while taking mea-
surements, ground the case of the instrument
before energizing equipment.
•
Do not touch live equipment or personnel work-
ing on live equipment while holding a multimeter.
Some types of measuring devices should not be
grounded—do not hold such devices while taking
measurements.
•
Prevent personal injury or equipment damage by
using a lifting device with a lifting capacity greater
than twice the weight of any equipment to be lifted.
•
Always use personal protective equipment (PPE)
appropriate to the situation. This may include the
use of hearing protection, eye protection, a respi-
rator, a hard hat, leather gloves, steel toed boots,
etc.
Electrical Hazards
•
An electric shock could
be fatal. Ensure power
to the baler is “OFF”
before opening electrical
panels.
•
All electrical cables and
connectors must be in
good condition (free
of corrosion, damage,
etc). Use caution in wet
weather to avoid danger
from electrical shock.
Never attempt electrical
testing or repair while
standing in water.
•
Do not wear electrically
conductive jewelry, clothing, or other items while
working on the electrical system.
Hot Oil Hazards
•
Burns from hot oil can be severe—Always allow
lubricating and hydraulic oil to cool before draining.
Compressed Air Hazards
•
When using compressed air to dry parts, pressure
should not exceed 30 psi (200 kPa).
•
Air pressure penetrating your skin can be fatal.
Never direct compressed air at anyone.
