HEALTH AND SAFETY
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing
or using the equipment.
It is important that this document is retained with the equipment for future reference. Should the equipment be
transferred to a new owner, always ensure that all relevant documents are supplied in order that the new owner
can be acquainted with the functioning of the equipment and the relevant warnings.
Installation should only be carried out by a suitably experienced contractor, following the guidelines supplied
with the equipment.
We recommend the use of a dust mask and gloves when cutting GRP components.
A qualified electrician should carry out electrical work.
Sewage and sewage effluent can carry micro-organisms harmful to human health. Any person carrying out
maintenance on the equipment should wear suitable protective clothing, including gloves. Good hygiene
practice should also be observed.
Covers must be kept locked.
Observe all hazard labels and take appropriate action to avoid exposure to the risks indicated.
The correct ongoing maintenance is essential for the proper operation of the equipment. Service contracts are
available and recommended. Please contact Klargester for details of your local service provider.
Should you wish to inspect the operation of the equipment, please observe all necessary precautions, including
those listed below, which apply to maintenance procedures.
BioDisc units contain rotating machinery and associated drive chains. Ensure that you are familiar with the safe
working areas and accesses. Ensure that the working area is adequately lit.
The power supply to the equipment must be isolated at the control panel(s) before lifting the covers. Where a
specific maintenance procedure requires the equipment to be running with the covers off, all care must be taken
to avoid contact with moving parts and electrical components or conductors. Drive guards must be replaced and
secured if removed during maintenance.
Once power has been isolated, the control panel must be kept locked shut to avoid accidental re-connection
whilst work or inspection is being carried out.
Use only the designated access walkways. Do not walk on the cover or deep well safety mesh(es).
Take care to maintain correct posture, particularly when lifting. Use appropriate lifting equipment when
necessary. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Avoid any sharp edges.
Desludging should be carried out by a licensed waste disposal contractor holding the relevant permits to
transport and dispose of sewage sludge. The contractor must refer to the desludge instructions in this
Handbook, a copy of the instructions are fastened under the covers.
There are separate installation guidelines available to provide full instructions for installations. We recommend
the unit is commissioned by an approved engineer.
