The bolt connections loosened during maintenance and repair work must be tightened again. Observe the
required tightening torques.
If it is necessary to remove safety features during maintenance, setup or repairing, the safety equipment
must be re-installed and inspected immediately after completion of the work.
Do not start the machine unless all guards and safety devices are mounted completely and in proper work-
ing position!
Protective caps and covers may not be removed.
The stickers affixed to the device with safety and warning signs provide important instructions for safe op-
eration; following these instructions is intended to keep you safe! These may not be removed.
Check the proper seat of nuts and bolts regularly, and tighten them, if needed!
When replacing operating elements with blades, use a suitable tool and wear gloves.
The system is electrically operated. Take special care when performing work in the area of electrically op-
erated system components.
Work on electrical and electronic components of the system may only be performed by a trained electrician
or otherwise appropriately trained personnel under the guidance and supervision of a trained electrician in
accordance with the applicable electrical and electronic regulations.
With regard to an ATEX 95 zone 22 certification, see the special remarks.
Never touch rotating or moving parts of the machines with hands or feet.
Never reach with hands, tools or other parts over the inflow or hopper in the area of the auger while the ma-
chine is running.
In handling slurry, always remember that the gases produced by the slurry are highly toxic and explosive in
combination with oxygen. Open flame, light checks, spark creation and smoking are therefore prohibited!
When using the retention or alternating retention method, special care must be taken in the area of the
opened sliding gates to the pre-pool before the main tank or to cross channels due to the formation of gas-
es. In addition, special care is required at stirring and withdrawal points while the stirring machines or
pumps are active!
Keep the machine clean to decrease the risk of fire!
Always ensure sufficient ventilation when working with slurry!
When working with biologically active materials in connection with the FAN press screw separator or con-
nected components, the decomposition of these materials can lead to the production of life-threatening
gases, especially in enclosed spaces. Always ensure sufficient supply and exhaust ventilation and/or ap-
propriate protective clothing before entering such areas.
In addition to the mechanical dangers of moving parts or parts under pressure, the opera-
tion of slurry handling machines also poses risks in connection with gases produced by
liquid manure. These gases (carbon dioxide CO

, ammonia NH

, hydrogen sulfide H

S, me-
thane CH

) can result in poisoning as well as explosions.
Especially when operating mixers, stirring machines, recirculation systems, pipe nozzles
and slurry aeration systems, care must be taken that no gases can flow into the stall from
exterior tanks or containers (install siphons or sliders).
Sufficient forced ventilation of the stall area must be ensured while handling slurry in the
stall area.
