2-7 Maintenance Responsibility
Safety is essential to the good health of both operator and machine.
If you are a maintenance worker, you must make safety a priority
in order to effectively repair and maintain equipment.
BEFORE REMOVING, ADJUSTING, OR REPLACING
PARTS ON A MACHINE, REMEMBER TO DO THE
FOLLOWING:
• TURN OFF all air and electric supplies and all accessory
equipment at the machine.
• DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT electrical and pneumatic
power, and attach warning tags to the disconnect switch and air
shutoff valve.
When you need to perform maintenance or repair work on a dryer
above floor level, use a solid platform or a hydraulic elevator. If
there is a permanently installed catwalk on your dryer, use it. The
work platform should have secure footing and a place for tools and
parts. DO NOT climb on dryers, machines, or work from ladders.
If you need to repair a large component, use appropriate handling
equipment. Before you use handling equipment (portable “A”
frames, electric boom trucks, fork trucks, overhead cranes) be sure
the load does not exceed the capacity of the handling equipment or
cause it to become unstable.
Carefully test the condition of lifting cables, chains, ropes, slings,
and hooks before using them to lift a load.
Be sure that all non-current carrying parts of electrical apparatus,
electrical component enclosures, and the dryer frame are correctly
connected to earth ground with an electrical conductor that
complies with current codes. Install in accordance with national
and local codes, which apply.
When you have completed the repair or maintenance procedure,
check your work, remove your tools, rigging, and handling
equipment.
