When repair or servicing of air presses or cylinders becomes necessary, what steps should be taken to prevent injury to operating or maintenance people?
Most importantly, detach all air lines or electric plugs supplying power to our components. A universal practice is to disconnect or shut out the air supply using quick disconnects located in lines near to the individual presses or cylinders. Further, a lockout or tagout valve should be placed in your air line to achieve ZMS-zero mechanical state-when repair or service to components becomes necessary.
