Large Dehumidifying Dryers  
Safety 
11 
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. 
If you need to repair a large component, use appropriate handling equipment.  Before you use 
handling equipment (portable “A” frames, electric boom trucks, fork trucks, overhead cranes) 
be sure the load does not exceed the capacity of the handling equipment or cause it to become 
unstable. 
Carefully test the condition of lifting cables, chains, ropes, slings, and hooks before using 
them to lift a load. 
Be sure that all non-current carrying parts are correctly connected to earth ground with an 
electrical conductor that complies with current codes. Install in accordance with national and 
local codes. 
When you have completed the repair or maintenance procedure, check your work and remove 
your tools, rigging, and handling equipment. 
Do not restore power to the dehumidifying dryer until all persons are clear of the area.  DO 
NOT
 start and run the dryer until you are sure all parts are functioning correctly. 
BEFORE you turn the dehumidifying dryer over to the operator for production, verify all 
enclosure panels, guards and safety devices are in place and functioning properly. 
Reporting a Safety Defect 
If you believe that your equipment has a defect that could cause injury, you should 
immediately discontinue its use and inform the manufacturer. 
The principle factors that can result in injury are failure to follow proper operating procedures 
(i.e. lockout/tagout), or failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment.
