8.3 Grounding, electrostatic charge
If the lifting platform is used in potentially explosive areas, all metal parts are grounded to prevent an
electrostatic charge. The required material can be ordered if needed as an optional accessory from the
Herkules Hebetechnik GmbH.
All installed and removable parts of the lifting platform, also installed grids must be
grounded for safety reasons. The grounding must be reliable and durable and able to
withstand the expected loads. It is important to ensure a positively locking connection of
the parts.
Metal parts of the machine are considered to be conductive and grounded to each other
by means of electrical bonds to prevent any kind of electrically insulating layers. Paint-,
powder coating, rust and grease are regarded as insulating layers.
Optional accessories grounding (item number 805-173)
Hints for grounding:
•
All grids are reliable with the help of the optional accessories components attached to the main body /
cantilever and connected with each other.
•
The grounding line of the installed grids for ground connection on the main body must be properly
connected (metallic contact).
•
Pneumatic lines from the lifting platform must be grounded through hose clamps.
•
The grounding line of the lower frame of the lifting platform must operate for its own grounding
connection (eg Metal structure of the spray booth) is properly connected and grounded.
•
All components of the lifting platform must be inspected during the installation and after any maintenance
of adequate grounding.
•
During operation of the lifting platform is to ensure that wear, tear, dirt, dust deposition or changes in the
chemical and physical properties do not affect the explosion protection.
•
Consult a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions.
