Lockout Protection

This option is available on vehicles that are equipped with the Smart Key system, or by using the vehicle personalization menu.

Many serious accidents have occurred as a result of the machine was running when it was supposed to be turned off for maintenance or repairs. These accidents are often the result of stored energy that has not been properly released. Lock-out-tag-out (LOTO) that ensures that machines are shut off until a person with authorization releases them, helps to prevent these accidents.

The LOTO system is made up of a number of locks, tags and other devices that are used to isolate, secure or shut off a device from an electric source. All "affected", "authorized" and "qualified" personnel must be instructed in the use of lockout/tagout devices. These devices include, but are not restricted to chains, locks, and padlocks. Each device is identified and labeled with the date and time of the application as well as the name of the authorized individual and the reason behind the lockout/tag-out (repair maintenance, repair, etc.). It should be stated clearly that these devices can't be removed until a thorough LOTO procedure is followed.
