block away from fuel lines, the crank case
breather opening and the battery.

Start the compressor in accordance with normal
procedure. Avoid prolonged cranking.

Allow the compressor to warm up. When the
compressor is warm and operating smoothly at
normal idle RPM, disconnect the jumper cable
from the engine block in the compressor, then
disconnect the other end of this same cable from
the grounded negative (NEG) (-) terminal of the
battery in the starting vehicle. Then disconnect
the other jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the compressor, or if
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series, from the ungrounded battery in the com-
pressor, and finally, disconnect the other end of
this same jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle
or from the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the
ungrounded battery in the starting vehicle, if it is
provided with two (2) 12V batteries connected in
series.

Remove and carefully dispose of the dampened
cloths, as they may now be contaminated with

1.12 IMPLEMENTATION OF

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT

The energy control procedure defines actions
necessary to lockout a power source of any machine
to be repaired, serviced or set-up, where unexpected
motion, or an electrical or other energy source, would
cause personal injury or equipment damage. The
power source on any machine shall be locked out by
each employee doing the work except when motion
is necessary during setup, adjustment or trouble-
shooting.

The established procedures for the application of
energy control shall cover the following elements
and actions and shall be initiated only by Autho-
rized Persons and done in the following
sequence:

1. Review the equipment or machine to be

locked and tagged out.

2. Alert operator and supervisor of which

machine is to be worked on, and that power

and utilities will be turned off.

3. Check to make certain no one is operating

the machine before turning off the power.

4. Turn off the equipment using normal

shutdown procedure.

5. Disconnect the energy sources:

Air and hydraulic lines should be bled,
drained and cleaned out. There should
be no pressure in these lines or in the
reservoir tanks. Lockout or tag lines or
valves.

Any mechanism under tension or pres-
sure, such as springs, should be
released and locked out or tagged.

Block any load or machine part prior to
working under it.

Electrical circuits should be checked with
calibrated electrical testing equipment
and stored energy and electrical capaci-
tors should be safely discharged.

6. Lockout and/or Tagout each energy source

using the proper energy isolating devices

and tags. Place lockout hasp and padlock or

tag at the point of power disconnect where

lockout is required by each person

performing work. Each person shall be

provided with their own padlock and have

possession of the only key. If more than one

person is working on a machine each person

shall affix personal lock and tag using a

multi-lock device.

7. Tagout devices shall be used only when
