Operating Manual for
Bauer Separator Compact
7
The system must be inspected for externally identifiable defects before it is started up each time. Any
changes that occur, including changes to the operating behavior and functional disruptions, must be imme-
diately reported to the competent party. The system must be immediately shut down and secured.
Procedures for switching the machine on and off as well as inspection of the control indicators must be car-
ried out as described in the operating manual.
Before switching on or starting up the machine, it must be ensured that no one will be endangered by the
starting up of the machine.
The correct functioning of the controller must be checked before the start of work. Before startup, all tools
and assembly aids must be stored safely to prevent accidents.
The maintenance, configuration and inspection activities and deadlines specified in the operating manual
must be complied with. The specified deadlines are maximum deadlines and may not be exceeded. Such
work as well as the replacement of components may only be performed by qualified personnel.
During transport of the separator, measures must be taken to ensure sufficient securing of the transport ar-
ea.
The required switch-on and switch-off procedures according to the operating manual and the instructions
for maintenance work must be observed during all work involving the operation, production adaptation, con-
version or configuration of the system and its safety-related features as well as all work involving inspection,
maintenance and repair.
The operating personnel must be informed of special work, repair work or conversion work in a timely fash-
ion prior to starting the work. A supervisor must always be appointed during the performance of such work.
The work area must be blocked off and secured by a wide margin during such work, if necessary. Unau-
thorized persons must be prevented from entering.
As a rule, maintenance and cleaning work as well as repairs of malfunctions may take place only with the
drive switched off and the motor at rest (switch off and lock the main switch or disconnect the supply of
electricity).
Watch out for the unexpected starting of the system.
It must be noted that a pressed EMERGENCY OFF button does not provide any protection against unau-
thorized starting of the machine.
During disassembly and assembly, large individual parts and entire assemblies must be carefully fastened
and secured to lifting equipment. Only suitable lifting equipment and load handling devices with sufficient
carrying capacity and no technical operating defects may be used. Standing or working under suspended
loads is not permitted. Grips, steps, railings, landings, platforms and ladders must be cleaned of oil, dirt,
snow and ice before all activity on the system.
If the BAUER separator is installed on an elevated platform, this must be equipped with a railing. The plat-
form should be sufficiently dimensioned to allow maintenance and service work.
Any openings in the platform must be sufficiently secured against tripping or falling through.
Access stairs must be equipped with hand rails in accordance with applicable regulations.
If access stairs cannot be used due to tight space conditions, permanently mounted ladders with back pro-
tection must be used.
Securing of personnel with suitable supporting elements is required during all maintenance work on an ele-
vated system.
During assembly work above head height, climbing aids and work platforms intended for such work or spe-
cially adapted for purposes of safety must be used. Never use system components as climbing aids. The
system and, in particular, connections and bolt connections must be cleaned of oil, grease or care agents
prior to the start of maintenance or repair work. No aggressive cleaning agents may be used. Only fiber-free
cleaning cloths may be used.
Before cleaning the system with water, steam, high-pressure cleaners or other cleaning aids, cover / tape
over all openings into which no water, steam or cleaning agents may enter for safety and/or functional rea-
sons. Electric motors and electronic switch cabinets are at particular risk. After cleaning, the applied covers
/ tape must be completely removed again.
Wear appropriate protective gear to protect against flying particles while cleaning with compressed air or
steam jets.
After cleaning, all gear oil and media lines as well as all electrical connections must be inspected for leaks,
loosened connections, abrasions and damage. Identified defects must be corrected immediately.
