What's the lockout procedure for the #4 press before a die change?

Isolate the press at the main disconnect and apply your personal lock and tag1. Bleed residual hydraulic pressure by cycling the manual dump valve until the gauge reads zero2.

Verify zero-energy state by attempting to start the press from the operator panel before approaching the die area3.
