2. Include packing slip number.

3. Include your RMA number on the outside of the package so our shipping receiver will see it.

KVAL tries hard to satisfy its customers. If you have any questions concerning merchandise purchased

through KVAL, please call.

Getting Started

Your new KVAL machine arrives at your plant crated, banded, taped, and has painted set

collars on all shafts, keeping all of the precision moving parts secure during shipping.

1. Before removing from the crate, move the machine as close as possible to the

area where it will be stationed to protect against damaging the machine with the

forklift.

2. Remove the machine from the crate using caution. Anytime the machine is lifted

to remove the skids, there is a chance of the machine dropping suddenly which

could damage the machine or injure people near the machine.

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

3

3. Remove all painted set collars from the shafts. Almost every shaft on the

machine has set collars to secure the moveable assembly mounted to the shafts.

4. Take off any tape securing the various buttons, switches and knobs.

5. Level your KVAL machine by putting metal shims underneath the corners of the

base. Leave a clear shot from the bolt holes in the foot pads to your shop floor.

Then, check to ensure the machine won’t rock back and forth.

6. Once the machine is level, anchor it to the floor so that it won’t move across the

floor during operation. KVAL recommends a ½” RED HEAD, TRUBOLT ANCHOR in

each of the foot pads.

Trubolt Wedge Anchor

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drill a ½” hole, 6” depth minimum of. Clean hole.

NOTE: KVAL recommends drilling completely through

the slab. If in the future the machine needs to be moved,

remove the Red Head nut and pound the bolt flush with the

floor surface.

2. Assemble anchor with nut and washer so that the top of the

nut is flush with the top of the anchor. Drive anchor through

material to be fastened so that nut and washer are flush with

surface material.

3. Expand anchor by tightening nut 3 to 5 turns, or to the

specific torque requirement (55 Ft. Lbs for a ½” Red Head

Trubolt).

Safety First: “Danger!”

This section contains important safety information. Failure to follow

these safety guidelines may subject the operator to physical hazards

that may result in serious bodily harm, or death.

Chapter

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

6

Responsibility

It is the responsibility of each employee to maintain safe working conditions in his or her area.

Failure to understand and correctly follow these procedures is direct violation of safety rules

and regulations. Violations of this policy can lead to severe injury.

PROCEDURE

To lock-out or tag-out a piece of equipment, the following steps must be taken:

1. Assess the equipment to fully understand all energy sources (multiple electrical supplies air

and/or hydraulic pressures, spring tension, weight shifts, etc.)

2. Inform all affected personnel of the eminent shutdown of machine, and duration of the

shutdown.

3. Obtain locks and tags from employer.

4. Shutdown machine(s) by normal means, i.e., disconnect switch(es), air pressure relief valve(s),

on/off button, etc.

NOTE: Control power switches alone do not serve as adequate shutdown

devices. The main source(s) of energy must be disconnected as well by moving

disconnect switches to “OFF” position. Also, ensure that all mechanically stored

energy has been released, i.e., lifting booms lowered to bottom of travel, carriages in

“HOME” position etc.

5. Each tag for each lock is to be signed by the person who will do the work. Each worker will

need a separate tag. Once the lock(s) and tag(s) are in place, the employee(s) must try to operate

the machine to ensure all energy sources are disconnected and dispelled from the machine.

NOTE: No one may remove a tag or lock installed by someone else. Only the

person(s) who attached the tag(s) and lock is authorized to remove it.

6. When maintenance or repairs are completed, the person(s) who did the work must ensure all

tools, spare parts, test equipment, etc., are completely removed and that all guards and safety

devices are installed.

7. Before removing the locks and tags, the person(s) who attached them must inspect the

equipment to ensure that the machine will not be put into an unsafe condition when re-

energized.

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

7

8. The locks and tags may now be removed (only by the person(s) who placed them), and the

machine can be re-energized.

9. The tag must be destroyed and the lock and key returned to the lock-out center.

In addition to KVAL’s safety concerns, this policy is required by OSHA regulation 1910.147 and

Cal OSHA’S SB198 ruling of July 1991.

ACCIDENT SITUATIONS

• Accidental Start-Up

Equipment can accidentally be turned on while one is inside the machine or while one’s hands or

clothing are in contact with the point of operation.

• Electrical Shock

Electrocution is possible if the machine’s power is on or if it is accidentally turned on.

• Hazardous Materials

If released, hazardous materials can contaminate confined areas or the work area, endangering

employees.

• Stored Energy

Stored energy can cause equipment movement, even when power is off.

ENERGY TYPES

Recognize the types of energy to shut down:

1. Electrical Energy

2. Hydraulic and/or Pneumatic Energy

3. Fluids and Gases

4. Mechanical Energy

The solution is quite simple — these accidents can be prevented using the P-R-O-P-E-R

Lock-Out and Tag-Out procedures.

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

9

LOCK RULES

1. Attach Lock-Out Device

Use an appropriate lock-out device, such as lock tongs or a lock tag. A lock-out device must be

attached to every disconnect switch, locking it in the “OFF” position.

2. Attach Lock to Lock-Out Device

Each person working on the machine must then attach his or her own lock to every lock-out device.

This may mean that each lock-out device has multiple locks.

3. Identify Locks with Tags

Each lock must have a tag by which it will be identified with a number or a name. Additional

information that identifies the person / persons doing the work must be on the tag. The type of work that

is being performed should also be on the tag.

4. Sign The Tag

In some circumstances, a supervisor will also need to sign the tag.

5. One Key Per Lock

There should always be only one key per lock. Never give your key to anyone else.

P-R-O-P-E-R ELECTRICAL LOCK-OUT

P Process Shut Down

Open disconnect before pulling the plug. Shut down process or equipment.

R Recognize Energy Type

Recognize the correct power source; check for multiple sources.

O Off! — Shut Off All Power Controls

Shut off machine and electrical energy at both machine and main power switch. There may be more than

one source of power and all must be shut off. If necessary, electrical drawings and a supervisor may

need to be involved.

P Place Lock-Out Device, Lock and Tag

Each person working on equipment must put his or her lock on the switches and sign the tag.

E Energy — Release Stored Energy

Bleed stored energy from electrical capacitors (if any).

R Return to Proper Setting and Re-check Controls

Return controls to proper “OFF” or closed setting after releasing energy. Re-check the start button and

properly test that you have zero-energy state.

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

10

P-R-O-P-E-R HYDRAULIC AND/OR

PNEUMATIC LOCK-OUT

P Process Shut Down

Execute shut-down process using recommended procedures.

R Recognize Energy Type

Recognize all sources of energy – the electric that powers the pumps or compressors, and the air or

hydraulic valves themselves.

O Off! — Shut Off All Power Controls

Shut off each energy type.

P Place Lock-Out Device, Lock and Tag

The shape or location of some valves may make them difficult to lock out. If there is not a specific lock-

out tag-out procedure in place, ask the appropriate supervisor.

E Energy — Release Stored Energy

Bleed the stored energy by bleeding the air line and draining the compressor, or by using other prescribed

methods. Keep in mind that when bleeding stored energy, some parts of the equipment could move, as

they are being held by the stored energy.

R Return to Proper Setting and Re-check Controls

Return controls to proper “OFF” or closed settings after releasing stored energy. Re-check controls to

confirm zero-energy state.

P-R-O-P-E-R FLUIDS AND GASES LOCK-

OUT

P Process Shut Down

Execute shut-down process using recommended procedures.

R Recognize Energy Type

Recognize the material and its hazards. If material is hazardous, use the proper protective equipment.

Even water can become a hazardous fluid under high pressure.

O Off! — Shut Off All Isolating Valves

If a job requires breaking into a line, close off the isolating device, blanking if necessary. Some valves

may be difficult to lock out. A locking bar or chains may be needed. Check with supervisor.

P Place Lock-Out Device, Lock and Tag

Place lock-out device and tag on all valves and lines. Sign tags.

E Energy — Release Stored Energy

Release pressure and drain lines to achieve zero-energy state.

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

11

R Return to Proper Setting and Re-check Controls

Return controls to proper “OFF” or closed settings after releasing stored energy. Re-check controls and

line and test properly to ensure zero-energy state.

P-R-O-P-E-R MECHANICAL ENERGY LOCK-OUT

Mechanical energy may be released at the point of operation, or where two or more points of operation

come together. These points are potentially dangerous areas. In most cases, blocking mechanical energy

is done in addition to shutting off the primary electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic sources. Some

examples include inserting restraining pins or bars in the point of operation or placing a block under a

lift. These blocks should never be the primary means of blocking mechanical energy. As mentioned

above, the mechanical movement is often powered by electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic energy.

These energy sources should be completely closed off before any attempt is made to block mechanical

energy.

Be aware that mechanical energy can be stored in moving parts. After placing blocks, carefully test each

mechanically moving piece of equipment to ensure stability before proceeding. Consult your supervisor

for assistance in properly blocking mechanical energy.

FACTS TO REMEMBER WHEN BLOCKING MECHANICAL

ENERGY

1 Gravity

Parts can fall. Pins or blocking may be required.

2 Springs

Stored energy in springs can be very dangerous. Release tension or compressed springs by using

methods prescribed by the equipment manufacturer.

3 Tensions

Objects under tension can spring. Release tension by using prescribed method from equipment

manufacturer.

P Process Shut Down

Shut down the process.

R Recognize Energy Type

Mechanical energy is usually a secondary energy source closest to point of operation. Recognize all

forms of energy, including the primary source of energy, such as electrical or pneumatic.

O Off! — Shut Off All Power Controls

Shut off all switches, valves, and other isolating devices.

P Place Lock-Out Device, Lock and Tag

Place lock on isolating device and sign tag.

E Energy — Release Stored Energy

Release spring or tension to achieve zero-energy state.

R Return to Proper Setting and Re-check Controls

Return controls to proper “OFF” or closed setting and re-check controls to ensure zero-energy state.

CHAPTER 2: BASIC OPERATION

12

ZERO-ENERGY START-UP

Zero-Energy State to Start-Up to Operating State

Starting the equipment properlyis just as important as Lock-Out/Tag-Out in terms of

safety.

Start-up

• Inspect

• Clean up

• Replace guards

• Check controls

• Remove locks

• Execute visual checks

Inspect

When work is finished, the equipment must be inspected for proper adjustment before starting

equipment.

Clean Up

All materials and debris must be cleaned up. Any combustible materials or old parts used during repairs

must be cleaned and/ or properly disposed of.

Replace Guards

Replace all equipment guards. If part of equipment cannot be properly adjusted after start-up with guard

on, leave only that guard off.

Check Controls

Confirm that all switches are in the “OFF” position. In some cases, the machine can start automatically

when energy is restored.

Remove Locks

Each person must remove his or her own lock and tag. This will ensure operators are in a safe place

when the equipment is started.

Execute Visual Checks

If the equipment is too large to see all around it, station personnel around the area and sound the

personnel alarm before starting the equipment. If your operation is more complex, having many pieces

of equipment and a lot of people, a comprehensive Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedure may involve additional

steps. You will need to ask your supervisor about these procedures. A specific lock-out procedure may be

posted at each machine. On larger or long-term maintenance or installation projects, the procedures

should be explained to all participants and a copy of the procedures should be posted on-site for the

duration of the work. Provisions which ensure protection during shift changes when contractor or outside

help is used must also comply with the Lock-Out/Tag-Out Procedures. Comprehensive Lock-Out/Tag-

Out may use a gang box or other system to ensure that locks are secure and not removed without

authorization.

Remember, Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures work because you are the only one with the key to your lock.

Proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out can save lives, limbs, and money. Help make your work environment safe for

yourself and your fellow employees. Make sure you follow the P-R-OP-E-R Lock-

out/Tag-Out procedures, and that those around you do also.

YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT.
