Authorisation must be requested from the Health and Safety (RSPP) Manager before performing
any operation, and the required documentation must be filled out correctly to obtain authorisation to
work in potentially explosive areas; this authorisation must be duly signed by the authorised
personnel.

INSTALLATION
The mixers must be installed carefully and in accordance with professional standards by appropriately trained
and technically proficient staff.
The staff should be informed on the following topics relating to the safe use of the
machine:
⇒
General accident-prevention guidelines or those provided for by international directives or the legislation of
the country where the machine will be used.
⇒
Specific accident-prevention guidelines:
1. European directive 94/4/EC relates to prevention systems to be put in place in relation to equipment and,
therefore, in this specific case, it is the directive that relates to the mixer;
2. European directive 1999/92/EC relates to personal safety while installing, operating and performing
maintenance operations on potentially explosive systems.
⇒
Risk of accidents.
⇒
P.P.E. devices in place to ensure the safety of the operator (personal protective equipment: glasses, gloves,
helmet, etc.).
All technical instructions contained in the dedicated Dimensional Drawing must be observed in full when
preparing for to operate the machine.
All installation operations must be carried out with maximum regard for safety in relation to:
1. The safety of the operators and of third parties;
2. Correct operation of the mixer;
3. The safety of the operation.
It is absolutely prohibited to use the mixer or any accessories relating to it without authorisation.
Before beginning the installation process, ensure that the information provided on the mixer
identification plate is compatible with the environment in which it is to be installed.
The motor and the reducer should not be repainted. If the application of a further layer of paint
is deemed absolutely necessary, do not exceed an overall thickness of 170
µ
m in order to
prevent the potential formation of electrostatic charges.
Use an appropriate paint to ensure that the surface resistivity of the casing does not exceed 1
G
Ω
. (See UNI EN 13463-1)
All installation and maintenance works must be carried out with the mixer switched off, it is therefore
good practice to ensure that no accidental reconnection of the driving force can occur.
Mixer assembly and installation operations must under no circumstances be performed in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The mixer must only be used and installed in the authorised areas.
Make a note of any changes that occur in the at-risk areas that can be attributed to the mixer, and check that the
new configuration complies with the relevant regulations.
