Safety instructions
These are the safety instructions which you
must obey when you install and operate the
drive and do maintenance on the drive. If you
ignore the safety instructions, injury, death or
damage can occur.
Use of warnings and notes in this
manual
Warnings tell you about conditions which can
cause injury or death, or damage to the
equipment. They also tell you how to prevent
the danger. Notes draw attention to a partic
ul
ar
condition or fact, or give information on a
subject.
The manual uses these warning symbols:
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 tip the drive
over. 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.
• 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.
