Sources of danger

General dangers
Danger
Risk of eye injuries from leaking air pres-
sure. The pneumatic parts of the plant still
remain under high air pressure after the
main switch or emergency switch has been
switched off.
Risk of injury from parts flying off! Flying-off
fragments or objects can injure people or
animals. Therefore the hall floors must be
kept clear of loose objects lying around.
Danger of explosion
Danger
Danger of explosion! The plant must not be
operated in the near to rooms that are ex-
posed to danger of explosion. Excepted
from this are only plants that are explicitly
intended and designated. No explosive,
highly ignitable or poisonous substances
must be used, as e.g.:
petrol
–
heating oil and diesel fuel
solvents
liquids containing solvents
non-diluted acid
acetone
If you are unsure, ask the manufacturer.
Damage to hearing
The noises emitted by the plant are not
dangerous for wash customers (brief emis-
sions).
On the drive-in side, the sound level is
67 dB(A)
–
at the drying operation 87 dB(A)
–
Danger
Damage to hearing for operating personnel
is possible. Wear ear protectors with drying
operation.
Electrical dangers
Danger
Risk of electric shock!
Never touch electrical cables, plug con-
–
nections and terminal boxes with wet
hands.
Electrical connecting leads or extension
cables must not be damaged through
being driven over, crushed, or pulled or
the like. Protect the power cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
With mobile cleaning devices (e.g. with
high-pressure cleaners) the water jet
must never be aimed at electrical appli-
ances or units.
All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
Plants must only be connected to prop-
er earthed power sources.
All work on electrical parts of the plant
must be carried out only by a qualified
electrician.
Danger from substances that are harm-
ful to health
Danger
The detergents used contain partly sub-
stances that are harmful to health; there-
fore it is absolutely necessary to observe
the enclosed or printed instructions.
Do not drink the water emitted from the
plant! There is no drinking water quality
present due to the mixed detergents.
Should processed water be used to oper-
ate the plant, then the stipulations of the
manufacturer of the water treatment plant
on germination inhibition must be ob-
served.
Substances which do not generally occur
usually in the exterior cleaning of vehicles
(e.g. chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides,
radioactive materials, faeces or epidemic
matter) must not reach the wash plant.
Danger from power failure
An uncontrolled restart of the plant following
power failure is ruled out because of con-
struction measures that have been taken.
Danger to the environment from waste
water
The locally valid regulations on waste water
disposal are to be observed.
Maintenance and monitoring
In order to ensure a safe operation of the
plant and to prevent dangers during mainte-
nance, monitoring and inspection, the corre-
sponding instructions have to adhered to.
Maintenance
Maintenance work must be carried out by a
specialist at regular intervals in accordance
with the specifications of the manufacturer.
The existing stipulations and safety re-
quirements are to be here observed. Work
on the electrical plant may only be carried
out by qualified electricians.

Danger
Risk of injury. The plant must be switched
off and secured against against any unin-
tentional and unauthorised restart before
maintenance and servicing can be carried
out. Air pressure containers and air pres-
sure lines continue to be remain under
pressure also after the plant has been
switched off. It is absolutely necessary to
get rid of pressure before starting work on
the plant. Then check for the absence of
pressure on the manometer at the mainte-
nance unit.
Risk of injury from high-pressure water jet
unexpectedly emerging. The high pressure
system continues to remain under pressure
also after the plant has been switched off. It
is absolutely necessary to remove all pres-
sure in the high-pressure system before
starting work on the plant.
Monitoring
This vehicle wash plant must be inspected
for its safe operational state before being
put into operation and afterwards at least
half-yearly by a specialist. The scope of this
inspection specifically includes:
visible inspection for externally recog-
–
nisable wear and damage respectively
Function test
–
completeness and effectivity of safety
–
installations for self-operation plants
daily before start of operation, for mon-
itored plants according to requirements
but at least once monthly.
Use original parts
Use exclusively original parts of the manu-
facturer or those parts recommended by
him as otherwise claims made under the
warranty will be rendered void. Observe all
instructions on safety and use which are
accompany these parts. This concerns:
replacement and wear parts
–
