3. Safety regulations 

  

11 

Use only original spare parts.  

Only carry out maintenance and repair work when the 
system is not in operation and the power supply 
disconnected. Ensure that the power unit cannot be 
switched on inadvertently.  

Before removing or opening pressurized components, 
positively isolate any source of pressure and 
depressurize the entire system.  

Never weld near oil systems or carry out any other work 
requiring heat. Pressure reservoirs or components and 
pipes containing oil have to be drained completely and 
cleaned, for example by means of a steam jet, before 
beginning such work.  

Never weld any pressure reservoir or change it in any 
way.  

If work which produces heat, flames or sparks has to be 
carried out on a machine, the adjacent components 
have to be protected by means of non inflammable 
material.  

Before releasing the power unit for operation after 
maintenance or overhaul, check that the operating 
pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct 
and that the regulating and shut-down equipment 
function properly. 

Every six months, check the pressure pipe and 
pressure vibration damper for carbon deposits. If 
excessive deposits are found, they should be removed. 

Motor, air filter, electrical components and regulating 
equipment have to protected from the ingress of 
humidity, e.g. when cleaning the system by means of a 
steam jet. 

Under no circumstance must the sound-proofing 
material be removed or modified. 

Never use etching solvents which could attack the 
materials used. 

If indicated or if there is any suspicion that an internal 
part of the machine has run hot, the machine has to be 
shut down. 

In order to avoid an increase in the operating 
temperature, check and clean the heat transfer 
surfaces (cooling fins, intermediate cooler, water 
cooling jackets, etc.) at regular intervals. Prepare a plan 
of the most favourable cleaning intervals for each 
machine. 

Avoid damage to the safety valves and other pressure 
reducing components. Check in particular for clogging 
caused by paint, oil carbon or the accumulation of dust, 
which could deteriorate the effectiveness of these 
components. 

Insulation or protective shielding, the temperature of 
which may exceed 70 °C/158 °F and which could be 
erroneously touched by the personnel, must not be 
removed before these parts have cooled down to room 
temperature.  

Check the accuracy of pressure and temperature 
indicators at regular intervals. If the admissible 
tolerance limits have been exceeded, these devices 
have to be replaced.  

Before removing or overhauling a compressor, a motor 
or another machine, ensure that all moveable parts of a 
mass of more than 15 kg cannot move or roll away. 

After completion of repair work, always verify that no 
tools, loose parts or cloths have been left in or on the 
machine, drive motor or drive equipment. Machines 
performing a back and forward main movement have to 
be cycled at least once, rotating machines have to be 
cycled several times in order to ensure that there are no 
mechanical faults in the machine or the drive member. 
Check the direction of rotation of the electric motors 
during first commissioning and after each modification 
of the electrical connections in order to prevent the 
compressor from being damaged. 

The fastening of loads and the instructing of crane 
operators should be entrusted to experienced persons 
only. The person giving the instructions must be within 
sight or voice contact with the operator. 

For carrying out overhead assembly work always use 
specially designed or otherwise safety-orientated 
ladders and working platforms. Never use machine 
parts as a climbing aid. Wear a safety harness when 
carrying out maintenance work at greater heights. 

Keep all steps, handles, handrails, platforms, landings 
and ladders free from dirt, snow and ice! Clean the 
machine, especially connections and threaded unions, 
of any traces of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying 
out maintenance or repair work! Never use aggressive 
detergents! Use lint-free cleaning rags!  

Before cleaning the machine with water or steam jet 
(high pressure cleaner) or other cleaning agents, 
cover/mask all openings which have to be protected 
from the ingress of water, steam or detergents for 
safety and/or functional reasons, in particular electric 
motors and switch cabinets.  

After cleaning, remove the covers/masking completely !  

Check all hydraulic oil lines for leakage, loose fittings, 
abrasion and damage after cleaning. Any defect must 
be rectified immediately!  

Always re-tighten screwed connections which have  
been loosened for maintenance and repair work.  

If the set-up, maintenance or repair require the 
demounting of safety equipment, this equipment has to 
be remounted and checked immediately after these 
activities.
