(MACHINERY).

The
FL
penstock
complies
with
the
Directive
on
Equipment
and
Protective
Systems
for
Potentially
Explosive
Atmospheres.
In
these
cases
the
logo
will
appear
in
the
identification
label.
This
label
shows
the
exact
classification
of
the
zone
in
which
the
penstock
can
be
used.
The
user
is
responsible
for
its
use
in
any
other
zone.
HANDLING
Pay
special
attention
to
the
following
points
when
handling
the
equipment:
SAFETY
WARNING
:
Before
handling
the
penstock,
check
that
the
crane
to
be
used
is
capable
of
bearing
its
weight.
Do
not
lift
the
penstock
or
hold
it
by
the
arm.
Lifting
the
penstock
by
the
arm
can
lead
to
operating
problems
as
it
is
not
designed
to
withstand
the
penstock’s
weight.
When
lifting
the
penstock,
take
care
not
to
damage
the
sealing
joints,
as
this
may
lead
to
leakage
during
the
operation
of
the
penstock.
To
prevent
damage,
especially
to
the
anticorrosive
protection,
it
is
recommended
to
use
soft
straps
to
lift
the
CMO
retention
penstocks.
These
straps
must
be
secured
in
the
top
part
of
the
body,
using
the
holes
fitted
to
secure
the
penstock
and
with
the
help
of
shackles.
If
the
equipment
is
packed
in
wooden
boxes,
these
must
be
provided
with
clearly
marked
holding
areas
where
the
slings
will
be
placed
when
securing
them.
In
the
event
of
two
or
more
penstocks
being
packed
together,
separation
and
securing
elements
must
be
provided
between
them
to
prevent
possible
movements,
knocks
and
friction
during
transport.
When
storing
two
or
more
penstocks
in
the
same
box
you
must
ensure
they
are
correctly
supported
to
prevent
deformations.
In
the
case
of
dispatches
by
sea
we
recommend
the
use
of
vacuum
bags
inside
the
boxes
to
protect
the
equipment
from
contact
with
sea
water.
Pay
special
attention
to
maintaining
the
correct
levelling
of
the
penstocks
during
loading
and
unloading
as
well
as
during
transport
to
prevent
deformations
in
the
equipment.
For
this
purpose
we
recommend
the
use
of
mounts
or
trestles.
INSTALLATION
In
order
to
avoid
personal
injury
and
other
types
of
damage
(to
the
facilities,
the
penstock,
etc.),
we
recommend
following
these
instructions:
The
staff
responsible
for
the
installation
or
operation
of
the
equipment
must
be
qualified
and
trained.
Use
suitable
Personal
Protective
Equipment
(PPE)
(gloves,
safety
boots,
goggles,
etc).
Shut
off
all
lines
which
affect
the
penstock
and
put
up
a
warning
sign
to
inform
about
the
work
being
carried
out.
Completely
isolate
the
penstock
from
the
whole
process.
Empty
the
conduit
or
line.
Drain
all
the
fluid
from
the
conduit
or
line
through
the
penstock.
Use
non
‐
electrical
hand
tools
during
installation
and
maintenance,
in
accordance
with
EN13463
‐
1(15
).
