PARAMAX 9000 Operation Manual

14.3. Operating in an ATEX Explosion Area

It is particularly important to perform the inspection work specified in Section 9 and to adhere to the
inspection intervals.
Any oil leaks must be rectified immediately.
In addition, with applications with a fan fitted on the gearbox side, this must be checked every day to
ensure it is working properly.
If fans or the fan housing are damaged (corrosion, distortion, extraneous causes etc.) the gearbox unit
must be stopped and repaired with original spare parts before being started up again.
The gearbox unit must be checked every day for visual damage and defects must be remedied
immediately.
Gear wheels must undergo a visual check ½ yearly.
Labyrinth - and TACONITE gaskets and greased lubricated roller bearings must be re-lubricated every
month.
Breathing filters and ventilation holes must be checked monthly and if necessary cleaned and
overhauled again.
Caution: ATEX approval lapses if changes or conditions of use are not approved or not carried out by
Sumitomo.
