6) If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the responsibility of the user to
take suitable precautions to prevent it from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not
compromised.
a) Aggressive Substances: e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or solvents that may affect
polymeric materials (such as seals)
b) Suitable Precautions: e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing from material
data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals.
7) Some Invicta vibrators are provided with either an integral cast lifting point or provision for the use of eye bolts. Users
are to ensure that shackles, eye bolts or any other required lifting equipment used are sufficiently rated to safely lift the
weight of the vibrator. The weight of each vibrator is included in the information stamped on the vibrator nameplate.
Users should also ensure that any lifting accessories or equipment is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and the user’s codes of practice. The lifting points should be inspected for defects prior to each lifting
operation.
Note: The lifting points are designed solely to lift the vibrator only. Users should not, under any circumstance, use the
lifting point on the vibrator to lift any other plant or machinery that the vibrator may be mounted to.
WARNING: The shaft assembly inside the vibrator contains eccentric weights and is free to rotate as the
vibrator is lifted.
This potential shifting of the weight distribution should be taken into account when lifting the vibrator into
position.
