2.8. DRIVES AND LOCKOUT SAFETY 8" & 10" TUBE MODELS

10 30952 R1

2.8. Drives and Lockout Safety

Inspect the power source (drive) before using and know how to shut down in an

emergency. Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down

and lock out your power source to prevent inadvertent start-up and hazardous energy

release. Know the procedure(s) that applies to your equipment from the following power

sources.

2.8.1. Electric Motor Safety

Power Source

• Electric motors and controls shall be installed and serviced by a qualified electrician

and must meet all local codes and standards.

• A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motor.

• You must have a manual reset button.

• Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the

operator has full view of the entire operation.

• Locate main power disconnect switch within reach from ground

level to permit ready access in case of an emergency.

• Motor must be properly grounded.

• Guards must be in place and secure.

• Ensure electrical wiring and cords remain in good condition;

replace if necessary.

• Use a totally enclosed electric motor if operating in extremely dusty conditions.

Lockout

2.8.2. Gas Engine Safety

Power Source

• Keep guards in place and secure.

• Properly ventilate surrounding area.

• Never fill the fuel tank while smoking or near an open flame. Always shut down and

allow engine to cool before filling with fuel.

• Never overfill the tank or spill fuel. If fuel is spilled, clean it up immediately.

• Be sure to use the correct type and grade of fuel.

• Ground the fuel funnel or nozzle against the filler neck

to prevent sparks that could ignite fuel vapors.

• Be sure to replace the fuel fill cap when you are done.

Lockout

• For engines with an electric start, remove the ignition key,

the spark plug wire, or the spark plug.

• For engines with a rope or crank start, remove the spark

plug wire or the spark plug.

2.8.3. Hydraulic Drive Safety

Power Source

• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the

power source operating your hydraulic drive.

• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while sys-

tem is under pressure.

• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts.

• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious injury if it penetrates the

skin surface (serious infection or toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immedi-

ately if injured.

• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for hydraulic leaks and wear

proper hand and eye protection.

• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good condition. Replace any worn,

cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses.

• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.

2.9. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 8" & 10" TUBE MODELS

12 30952 R1

• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses with tape,

clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure;

such repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.

Lockout

• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve system pressure before dis-

connecting or working on hydraulic system.

2.9. Personal Protective Equipment

Safety Glasses

• Wear safety glasses at all times to protect eyes from debris.

Coveralls

Work Gloves

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp and rough edges.

Dust Mask

• A dust mask may be needed to prevent breathing potentially harmful

dust.

Safety Equipment

Fire Extinguisher

• Provide a fire extinguisher for use in case of an accident. Store in a highly

visible and accessible place.

First-Aid Kit
