Operating instructions for S 40-3...S 150-3 series screw compressors
13.Undertake conversions and modifications to the compressor only with the
prior approval of BOGE, and in compliance with all relevant safety regula-
tions. The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from unauthor-
ised modifications to the compressor.
14.Never start the compressor if one or more parts (e.g. cable, plug) are dam-
aged, or if the compressor is not in perfect working order, or if damage is
visible or suspected.
15.Observe all safety and danger signs attached to the compressor itself!
16.The compressed air/oil receiver is pressure equipment and requires testing
in accordance with national standards.
17.To avoid damage, special precautions must be taken during (re-)commis-
sioning of compressors with a frequency control if the frequency converter
has been disconnected from the power supply for a lengthy period of time
(> 12 months). In this case, please contact the BOGE's service department.
Special hazard warnings
– Always wear your compulsory personal protective equipment when work-
ing on pressure pipes and connections!
– A protective grid serves to prevent you from accidentally reaching into the
impeller in the cooling fan.
– During operation, the compressor generates a high noise level which may
cause permanent hearing damage due to prolonged exposure. The com-
pressor must ALWAYS be operated with its housing closed! Wear addition-
al hearing protection at noise levels of over 80 dB(A)!
WARNING: Risk of injury!
Never operate the compressor with the protective grid removed! There is
constant danger of accidentally reaching into the impeller in the cooling fan!
Please note that the cooling fan may run on for a certain time even after the
compressor has been switched off!
