n The guard must be closed during drilling.
n The machine must be switched off before the guard is opened for maintenance or for
any other type of work.
n The hatch must be locked in the open position when the guard is opened.
n The guard does not affect the operating procedures of the machine.
5.3 Firefighting Equipment
5.3.1 Fire Prevention Readiness
Fire prevention readiness means that personnel know how to use the fire extinguisher and
the automatic fire suppression system before operating or working on the machine.
Before operation or maintenance of the machine:
n Read the instructions and know the location, function, and use of fire extinguishers and
activating devices.
n Identify if the machine has a main power switch or a battery isolation switch. Be trained
on how to turn the switches off in the case of fire.
n Identify if the machine has a fuel supply. Be trained on how to close the fuel supply in
the case of fire.
5.3.2 Automatic Fire Suppression System
The machine can be equipped with an automatic fire suppression system that can be acti-
vated both manually and automatically. The system uses powder, liquid, or gas (such as
carbon dioxide) as a suppression medium. When the system is activated, pressure is cre-
ated in the tanks and the extinguishant is ejected through nozzles to suppress the fire. The
emergency stop is automatically activated if the automatic fire suppression system is trig-
gered.
An authorized service company must inspect the automatic fire suppression system when
instructed during a maintenance interval. Contact the Atlas Copco local customer center for
information regarding authorized service companies.
If the machine has been modified, an authorized service company must check over the au-
tomatic fire suppression system.
