Maintenance Responsibility 
Proper maintenance is essential to safety. If you are a maintenance worker, you must make safety 
a priority to effectively repair and maintain equipment. 
Before removing, adjusting, or replacing parts on a machine, remember to turn off all electric 
supplies and all accessory equipment at the machine, and disconnect and lockout electrical and 
pneumatic power. Attach warning tags to the disconnect switch and air shutoff valve. 
When you need to perform maintenance or repair work on a dehumidifying 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 the dehumidifying dryer, machines, or work from ladders.
