Working in a safety-conscious manner
Work on running or energised vacuum pumps/compressors can lead to seri-
ous injuries due to body parts being drawn in or crushed or death due to
electric shock.
Work on the F-CEVF at a standstill only and in a de-energized condition.
1. Switch off and disconnect from the power supply.
2. Wait for impeller and external fan to stop.
3. Secure to prevent it from being switched back on.
4. Make
sure
that
it is de-energised.
5. Earth it and short-circuit it.
6. Cover or block off adjacent parts that are still supplied with voltage.
Operation with exposed or damaged parts can lead to serious injuries due to
body parts being drawn in and severed or crushed.
1. Replace damaged parts prior to beginning operation.
2. Re-attach safety and protective devices and put them back into operation
immediately after completion of work.
3. F-CEVF should only be put into operation when fully assembled.
Changes, additions and conversions may lead to unforeseeable risks and
thus to serious injuries or death.
Modifications, additions and conversions not described in the general documenta-
tion are the sole responsibility of the operator.
Only use original parts or parts and auxiliary materials (grease, sealant) recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Keep all notices attached to the F-CEVF in a clearly legible condition:
▪
Labelling of connections
▪
rotation arrows
▪
Rating plate
▪
