function. This can cause faults which can result in eventual or immediate death,
severe injury or material damage.
For instance, observe the following signs that could indicate a malfunction:
• Higher power drawn than usual
• Higher temperatures than usual
• Unusual noises
• Unusual smells
• Response of monitoring equipment
Immediately contact the maintenance personnel if you identify any irregularities. If
you are in doubt, immediately switch off the machine, being sure to observe the

the ambient and operating conditions.
• If available, re-attach the drain plugs or screws.
