During service activities there is some potential for exposure to the dust in the collector. Most dusts present safety
and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other protection equipment suitable for
the type of dust when performing any service activities.
Use appropriate access equipment and procedures. Note the standard collector is not equipped with access
platforms unless noted on the specification drawings.
LOCK-OUT all energy sources prior to performing any service or maintenance on the equipment.
Electrical service or maintenance work must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with all applicable
national and local codes.
