Use this pre-operation checklist to ensure your baler is safe and ready before each shift. Verify weld integrity, hydraulic lines and connections, panel bolts, oil leaks, power leads, and safety sensors. Run the ram test after start-up, then perform housekeeping: clear feeders and cages, remove debris, clean behind the ram, and jet wash as scheduled. Finish with lockout and padlock isolation, report faults, and document actions. Suitable for manufacturing, warehousing, and recycling sites.

Baler Pre-Operation Safety Checklist
This baler pre-operation checklist helps operators verify machine readiness and safety before use. Inspect weld integrity, hydraulic lines and connections, panels and fasteners, leaks, feeders, and power leads. After startup, confirm safety sensors and interlocks are functioning and that the ram moves freely. Follow housekeeping steps: clear debris from lifting arm and cage, clean behind the ram as applicable, and jet wash per schedule. At shift end, isolate and padlock the baler. Report faults to the helpdesk and tag out the machine as needed.
