1.5 Safety precautions for maintenance and repair

The user is solely liable for injuries or damages which occur due to

non-compliance with safety guidelines during installation, operation

or servicing, as well as unauthorised use of equipment!

1. Only original spare parts and ancillary items may be used. Using spare parts from other man-

ufactures may lead to unpredictable results and consequently accidents.

2. When performing installation and repair work, always wear goggles!

3. Before connecting or disconnecting equipment, disconnect it from the main pneumatic system.

Ensure that the hoses aren’t under pressure!

4. Before beginning installation or other work, ensure that equipment is not pressurised. Installation

work must not be carried out on equipment under pressure.

5. All maintenance work should be carried out only when the temperature of all structural elements

falls to room temperature.

6. Never use highly ammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning structural elements.

When wiping, take precautions against the poisonous vapours of cleaning uids.

7. When carrying out installation and repair work, an information plate should be afxed to

the control panel to warn against unauthorised start-up. For example, “Do not turn on.

Personnel operating!”

8. The operator remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installation or other work is

being performed with the equipment at that moment! An information plate must be afxed to

the equipment in relation to this: See 1.3.9.

9. Maintain cleanliness in the facility where the equipment is installed. Close open inlets and

outlets during installation with dry clothes or paper to prevent rubbish entering the equipment.
