Guarding expectations

Guidance for Troy-Bilt teams. Follow local site rules where they are more specific.

  • Fixed guards remain in place while equipment is energised.
  • Interlocked guards are tested on the weekly checklist.
  • Never bypass, tape over or defeat a guard or light curtain.
  • Report a missing guard immediately and tag the machine out of service.
