Safety precautions during maintenance or repair
CAUTION!
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precaution,
or non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
Precautions during maintenance or repair
1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety
shoes, etc.).
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as “Work in progress; do not start” shall be
attached to the starting equipment.
6. 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.
7. Before removing any component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources of
under- and/or overpressure and make sure that the pump system is at atmospheric
pressure level.
8. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
9. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by
covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
10. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks
must be completely purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such
operations. Never weld on, or in any way modify, pressure vessels.
11. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine
is overheated, the machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall
be opened before sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to avoid the risk of
spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted.
12. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine,
pressure vessel, etc.
13. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
