Decommissioning

Danger

Injuries and fatal accidents can occur during decommissioning!

Disregarding the safety instructions can lead to injuries and fatal accidents.

•

Please observe the safety information given in the chapter

tled

“Safety“

as well as the appropriate on-site applicable safety and acci-

dent prevention regulations.

•

Make sure that the decommissioning work is carried out only by qualified,

authorized and trained personnel.

•

Do not climb on or through the machine and equipment.

Danger

Injuries and fatal accidents can occur as a result of hazardous voltage!

If there is a fault with an electrical component or cable, the direct or indirect
contact with live parts could result in serious or fatal injury through electric
shock. Injuries and fatal accidents can occur as a result of working on ma-
chine and equipment when it is switched on.

•

Do not work on the machine or equipment when it is switched on.

•

All electrical work is to be always performed with power supply switched

off (turn off the main switch and secure it with a padlock or U-lock to pre-
vent it from being inadvertently switched on).

•

After switching off the machine and equipment, check for the presence of

residual voltage.

•

Wear appropriate protective equipment (e.g. gloves, safety shoes, hard

hat, etc.), and especially tight fitting clothes.

•

Access to the machine and equipment must only be via the approved ar-

eas.

•

Before undertaking any work on the machine and equipment cordon off

the area with a temporary barrier (such as red and white safety chains)
and arrange for access to be restricted, if required.

•

Do not carry out any work on voltage-carrying parts alone.

•

Do not touch any components or cables that may be electrically live.

•

Do not enter the danger zone.

•

Do not leave the main switch unsecured.

Remove the screens, which are still in the machine, and thoroughly clean the
machine/UV head both on the inside and outside.

Disconnect the machine from the electrical power supply.
