Safety Practices Before Operating the System

Before you apply power to the test system, review and complete all of the safety practices that are
applicable to your system. The goal, by doing this, is to improve the safety awareness of all personnel
involved with the system and to maintain, through visual inspections, the integrity of specific system
components.

Read all manuals

Study the contents of this manual and the other manuals provided with your system before attempting
to perform any system function for the first time. Procedures that seem relatively simple or intuitively
obvious can require a complete understanding of system operation to avoid unsafe or
dangerous situations.

Locate lockout/tagout points

Know where the lockout/tagout point is for each of the supply energies associated with your system.
This includes the hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and water supplies (as appropriate) for your system to
ensure that the system is isolated from these energies when required.

Know facility safe procedures

Most facilities have internal procedures and rules regarding safe practices within the facility. Be aware
of these safe practices and incorporate them into your daily operation of the system.

Locate Emergency Stop buttons

Know the location of all the system Emergency Stop buttons so that you can stop the system quickly in
an emergency. Ensure that an Emergency Stop button is located within close proximity of the operator
at all times.

Know controls

Before you operate the system for the first time, make a trial run through the operating procedures with
the power off. Locate all hardware and software controls and know what their functions are and what
adjustments they require. If any control function or operating adjustment is not clear, review the
applicable information until you understand it thoroughly.

Have first aid available

Accidents can happen even when you are careful. Arrange your operator schedules so that a properly
trained person is always close by to render first aid. In addition, ensure that local emergency contact
information is posted clearly and in sight of the system operator.

Know potential crush and pinch points

Be aware of potential crush and pinch points on your system and keep personnel and equipment clear
of these areas.
