Warning:
- Note the Lock-Out/Tag-Out Procedure in the Safety Section
- Never enter the chamber. Do not put hands or feet in or near the chamber when the machine is in operation. Always disconnect power before servicing machine and place a sign on baler stating “UNDER REPAIR DO NOT USE”.
- It is the responsibility of the employer whose employees are engaged in installing, repairing, adjusting, inspecting, operating, or maintaining the equipment to develop, document, and implement a policy and procedure for locking/tagging out any potentially hazardous energy source. This is of paramount importance and must be completed before any work is done to the equipment.
- Before servicing or entering any part of your equipment, be sure that all sources of potentially hazardous energy have been fully removed. Lock-Out / Tag-Out procedures must be in accordance with OHSA and ANSI requirements.
- Before entering the baler chamber for service, be sure that the platen is securely supported. At minimum use two wooden 4” by 4” beams in good condition. Cut each beam to fit snug in each rear corner of the chamber.
- Never climb on the sides of baler. Use a ladder or platform if the area you need to service cannot be reached from ground level.
