1.4 Safety measures during operation
If the equipment is delivered during the winter months, then the equipment should
be kept in а warm facility for no fewer than 12 hours before the packaging is removed
after unloading. This will prevent condensate from reaching the equipment’s internal
components.
In order to prevent moisture getting into the pneumatic system, the feed of compressed
air from the compressor should not be commenced sooner than 10 minutes after the
equipment is switched on.
The equipment is not allowed to be used in explosion-hazardous environments or near
flammable materials and toxic vapours.
Before connecting or disconnecting the compressed air hose, make sure that there is not
pressure in the hose before disconnecting it from the equipment.
It is necessary to check that all compressed air connections are securely fastened and
there are no damages before start-up. Additional accessories such as lubricator, moisture
separator etc. are not allowed to be installed on the compressed air inlet and outlet ports of
the equipment.
The air hose is not allowed to be disconnected during operation if compressed air is being
fed through it.
The air hose with compressed air must not be pointed at people.
The equipment should be switched on/off via the control panel.
Worn, damaged or spoiled compressed-air hoses should not be used.
Compressed air hoses that do not suit the equipment in terms of diameter and working
pressure must not be used.
Power connectors must not be touched during operation of the equipment.
Turn off equipment if undue vibration, noise, smell and other anomalous instances arise.
