14 Safety instructions
General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These instructions are for all personnel that install the drive and do maintenance work
on it.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Use safety shoes with a metal toe cap to avoid foot injury. Wear protective gloves
and long sleeves. Some parts have sharp edges.
• Handle the drive carefully.
• Frames R5…R9: Lift the drive with a lifting device. Use the lifting eyes of the
drive.
• Frames R5…R9: Do not tilt the drive. The drive is heavy and its center of
gravity is high. An overturning drive can cause physical injury.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors,
remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Keep the drive in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr from
drilling and grinding until you install it.
• Protect also the installed drive against dust and burr. Electrically conductive
debris inside the drive may cause damage or malfunction.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Do not cover the air inlet and outlet when the drive runs.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See sections
Checking the installation
site on page 40 and Cooling data and noise on page 146 for more information.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the drive covers are on.
Keep the covers on during the operation.
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all
driven equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
• Before you activate automatic fault reset functions of the drive control program,
