15. OPERATIONAL HAZARDS
Verification and assessment relative to machine safety have been carried out according to the guidelines set out within the
European Machine Directive using a matrix evaluation schematic with the generation of technical file as required by the
directive.
The lists used are of two types:
•
Risk evaluation (UNI EN ISO 14121-1).
•
Conformity to essential safety requisites (Machine Directive –CE 06/42).
The following hazards have been identified as a result and must be considered during operation.
•
During maintenance oil may be discharged at low pressures (oil squirt). To counter this, maintenance must be carried
wearing appropriate personal protective clothing and glasses.
•
Electrocution: This can occur if the user does not securely connected the wires inside the terminal box. Electrical
connections must therefore be carried out only by a competent electrician.
•
Physical Strain due to poor positioning of the unit. Detailed Dimensional information is given in this manual to avoid poor
positioning.
•
Use of incorrect lubricant or fluids. Lubricant information is contained in this manual and on the pump itself.
