SAFETY
2
H. Keep a suitable fully charged class BC or ABC
fire extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when serv-
icing and operating the Vacuum System.
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other com-
bustibles out of and away from the Vacuum System.
J. DO NOT operate Vacuum System without proper
flow of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow
of lubricant or with degraded lubricant.
K. DO NOT attempt to operate the Vacuum System
in any classification of hazardous environment
unless the Vacuum System has been specifically
designed and manufactured for that duty.
1.5 MOVING PARTS
A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body
and also clothing away from belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the Vacuum System
with the fan, coupling or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug fitting clothing and confine long hair
when working around this Vacuum System, espe-
cially when exposed to hot or moving parts.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when
making repairs or adjustments.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear of
the Vacuum System prior to attempting to start or
operate it.
F. Disconnect and lock out all power at source and
verify at the Vacuum System that all circuits are de-
engergized, to minimize the possibility of accidental
start-up or operation, prior to attempting repairs or
adjustments. This is especially important when
Vacuum Systems are remotely controlled.
G. Keep hands, feet, floors controls and walking
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water, antifreeze or
other liquids to minimize possibility of slips and falls.
1.6 HOT SURFACES, SHARP EDGES AND SHARP
CORNERS
A. Avoid bodily contact with hot fluid, hot coolant,
hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners.
B. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of
gas discharge.
C. Wear personal protective equipment including
gloves and head covering when working in, on or
around the Vacuum System.
D. Keep a first aid kit handy. Seek medical assis-
tance promptly in case of injury. DO NOT ignore
small cuts and burns as they may lead to infection.
1.7 TOXIC AND IRRITATING SUBSTANCES
A. DO NOT use air from this Vacuum System for
respiration (breathing) except in full compliance
with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910 and any other
Federal, State or Local Codes or regulations.
Death or serious injury can occur from inhaling air
from the discharge of a Vacuum System without
using proper safety equipment. See OSHA stan-
dards on safety equipment.
B. Operate the Vacuum System only in open or
adequately ventilated areas.
C. Install the Vacuum System so that it is not likely
to ingest exhaust fumes or other toxic, noxious or
corrosive fumes or substances.
D. Coolants and lubricants used in this Vacuum
System are typical of the industry. Care should be
taken to avoid accidental ingestions and/or skin
contact. In the event of ingestion seek medical
treatment promptly. Wash with soap and water in
the event of skin contact.
E. The Vacuum System discharge must be piped to
an open and well ventilated area.
1.8 ELECTRICAL SHOCK
A. This Vacuum System should be installed and
maintained in full compliance with all applicable
Federal, State and Local codes, standards and reg-
ulations, including those of the National Electrical
Code, and also including those relative to equip-
ment grounding conductors, and only by personnel
that are trained, qualified and delegated to do so.
B. Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held
tools or other conductive objects away from
exposed live parts of electrical system. Maintain dry
footing, stand on insulating surfaces and DO NOT
contact any other portion of the Vacuum System
when making adjustments or repairs to exposed
live parts of the electrical system. Make all such
adjustments or repairs with one hand only, so as to
minimize the possibility of creating a current path
through the heart.
C. Attempt repairs only in clean, dry and well light-
ed and ventilated areas.
D. DO NOT leave the Vacuum System unattended
Death or serious injury can result from
inhaling compressed air without using
proper safety equipment. See OSHA stan-
dards and/or any applicable Federal, State,
and Local codes, standards and regula-
tions on safety equipment.
