Safety precautions during installation

All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non-observance of the normal
caution and care required for installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be dis-
claimed by the manufacturer.
General precautions
1. The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related local work safety requirements and regula
tions.
2. If any of the following statements does not comply with local legislation, the stricter of the two shall apply.
3. Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by authorised, trained, specialised per
sonnel.
4. Before carrying out any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the device. In ad
dition, the power isolating switch must be opened and locked.
Precautions during installation
1. Place the device where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible.
2. During installation or any other intervention on one of the connected machines, the machine must be stopped, de-ener
gized and the isolating switch opened and locked before any maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons
switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or
working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.
3. The electrical connections must correspond to the local codes. The device must be earthed and protected against short
circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be installed near the device.
4. For machines controlled by a central control system, a sign stating “This machine may start without warning” must be
affixed near the instrument panel.
5. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-return valves (check
valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.
6. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices.
Precautions during operation

1. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one
checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote start equipment.
2. Never operate the device in the presence of flammable or toxic fumes, vapours or particles.
3. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
4. Keep the door shut during operation.
5. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds 90 dB(A) shall wear ear
protectors.
6. Periodically check that:
All fasteners are tight
All electrical leads are secure and in good order
7. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices.
Precautions during maintenance or repair
1. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
2. Use only genuine spare parts.
3. A warning sign bearing a legend such as “work in progress; do not start” shall be attached to the starting equipment,
including all remote start equipment.
4. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one
checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote start equipment.
5. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions against toxic vapours
of cleaning liquids.
6. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts and exposed
openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
7. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of the device.
8. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly. They may not
be put out of action.
9. Before clearing the device for use after maintenance or repair, check that operating pressures, temperatures and time
settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that they function correctly.
10. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net.

These precautions apply to electrical devices.

For precautions applying to the connected equipment consult the relevant instruction book.

Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence some statements may not apply to your
machine.
