Safety Precautions For Maintenance And Repair - Comprag DV Serie Bedienungsanleitung

1.5 Safety precautions for maintenance and repair

1. Only original spare parts and ancillary items may be used. Using spare parts from other man-
ufactures may lead to unpredictable results and consequently accidents.
2. When performing installation and repair work, always wear goggles!
3. Before connecting or disconnecting equipment, disconnect it from the main pneumatic
system. Ensure that the hoses aren't under pressure!
4. Before beginning installation or other work, ensure that equipment is not pressurised.
Installation work must not be carried out on equipment under pressure.
5. All maintenance work should be carried out only when the temperature of all structural
elements falls to room temperature.
6. Never use highly flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning structural ele-
ments. When wiping, take precautions against the poisonous vapours of cleaning fluids.
7 . When carrying out installation and repair work, an information plate should be affixed to the control
panel to warn against unauthorised start-up. For example, "Do not turn on. Personnel operating!"
8. The operator remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installation or other work
is being performed with the equipment at that moment! An information plate must be affixed
to the equipment in relation to this: See 1.3.9.
9. Maintain cleanliness in the facility where the equipment is installed. Close open inlets and
outlets during installation with dry clothes or paper to prevent rubbish entering the equipment.
10. Welding or other similar operations must not be carried out in the immediate vicinity of
the equipment and vessels under pressure.
11. If there is any suspicion of overheating, combustion or other emergency, turn off the equip-
ment. Immediately disconnect it from the power supply. Do not open the doors of equipment
until the temperature falls to room temperature, in order to prevent burns or injury.
12. Naked flames must not be used as a light source for inspecting and checking equipment.
13. Never use caustic solvents, which may damage materials of the pneumatic system.
14. After performing installation or other work, ensure that no instruments, rags or spare
parts have been left inside the equipment.
15. Pay particular attention to the safety-relief valves. Thoroughly inspect them and remove
any dust and dirt. They must not be allowed to suffer any loss in function under any circum-
