Life Energy Wheel Checklist for Line Break Pressure Performance

This checklist is designed to ensure safety when performing line breaks, focusing on hydraulic systems and related equipment. It covers pre-operation, during operation, and post-operation checks to minimize risks.

Instructions: Complete this checklist before, during, and after performing any line break on hydraulic systems. Mark each item as complete or incomplete. If incomplete, note the corrective action taken.

I. Pre-Operation Checks

A. Planning and Preparation

• Job Safety Analysis (JSA): Conducted and reviewed for the specific line break task.
• Communication: Hand signals and communication methods are understood by all workers [1].
• "DO NOT OPERATE" Tag: Machine is properly tagged out to prevent accidental start-up during maintenance [1].
• Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the working area, especially when working indoors [2].

B. Equipment and Tools

• Proper Tools: Correct tools are available and in good condition for the task [1].
• Support Equipment: Proper support equipment (blocks, stands) are available and ready for use under the boom, arm, or bucket/attachment [3].
• Fire Extinguisher: A fire extinguisher is readily available and inspected [4].

C. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Required PPE: Approved safety glasses or face shield, gloves, hard hat, safety shoes, and work clothes are worn [2].

D. Hydraulic System Checks

• Pressure Release: Hydraulic pressure in the system and attachment circuits has been properly released [5].
• Hydraulic Tank Pressure: Internal pressure of the hydraulic tank has been released [6].
• Line Inspection: Lines, tubes, and hoses are checked for damage (chafing, cuts, swelling, leaks) [4].

II. During Operation Checks

• No Hot Surfaces: Avoid contact with hot surfaces; allow the machine to cool down before maintenance [1].
• Leak Check: Use a piece of cardboard, wood, or metal to check for hydraulic leaks [2].
• Component Condition: Ensure all clamps, guards, clips, and straps are correctly reinstalled to prevent vibration and rubbing [4].
• Ether Usage (if equipped): Use ether in ventilated areas and follow proper cold engine starting procedures [4].

III. Post-Operation Checks

• Area Clean Up: The working area is organized and cleaned up; all tools and parts are removed 4, 6.
• Leak Verification: Verify no leaks are present after the line break is completed.
• Machine Operation: After maintenance, operate the machine to ensure proper functionality and check for any issues.

IV. Corrective Actions

• Record any corrective actions taken for incomplete items:
