LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT PROCEDURE
Always use your employer’s Lock-Out/Tag-Out
procedures. If your employer does not have Lock-Out/Tag-
Out procedures, use the procedures that follow. Contact
your supervisor or Heil Technical Service if you have any
questions about Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures.
Put the unit in a Lock-Out/Tag-Out mode:
BEFORE you enter the unit’s body.
BEFORE you perform maintenance, repair, or
cleaning procedures on the unit.
Follow These Steps:
1. APPLY the brakes. MAKE SURE the brakes do not
let the unit move and they work properly.
2. Chock all wheels.
3. SET the tailgate props when you raise the
tailgate for service, maintenance or cleaning.
4. If equipped, SET the body props when you raise
the body for service, maintenance or cleaning.
5. When there are in-cab controls, turn the ignition
switch to ON, then:
a. Move the switches of the hydraulic controls. This
relieves the pressure in the cylinders.
b. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
6. When there are no in-cab controls, move the outside
control levers to relieve the pressure in the cylinders.
7. Put a LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT tag onto the steering
wheel.
8. Remove the ignition key from the cab, lock the
vehicle, and put the key in a secure location.
