Safety Precautions
•
All energy sources associated with the Kice Venturi-Jet filter must be locked and tagged out in compliance with
29CFR1910.147, local enforcement authorities, OSHA, and facility safety practices, before removing any protective
cover, guard, grate or maintenance gate.
•
Do not attempt to install, connect power, operate or service a Kice Venturi-Jet filter without proper instruction and until
you have been thoroughly trained in its use by your employer.
•
It is the owner’s and employer’s responsibility to adequately train each operator in the proper and safe use of Kice
Venturi-Jet filters. Written safety programs and formal instruction are essential. All new employees must be made
aware of company policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and established health and safety procedures.
Experienced employees should receive refresher training for potential hazards and up to date training records should
be maintained at the job site.
• Assume at all times that power is “on”. Treat all conditions as live. This practice ensures a cautious approach that may
prevent an accident or injury.
• Before applying power to any equipment, make certain that all personnel are clear of the machine.
• Operate safely at all times. Use personal protective equipment when and where appropriate, such as hard hats,
helmets, gloves, earplugs, dust masks and eye protection devices. Especially when working inside the filter. Keep
personal protective equipment in good repair and convenient to the operator.
•
If it becomes necessary to climb into the Kice Venturi-Jet filter for service or repair work, adequate securing devices
and fall arresters must be worn by personnel.
•
The Kice Venturi-Jet filter is fully encapsulated if properly connected during installation and should only be operated
after all pipes and hoses, including upstream and downstream components, have been completely connected to the
piping system. This will prevent human access while the machine is running.
•
The Kice Venturi-Jet filter may also have factory supplied guards for rotating components. Do not connect power
to or operate the Kice Venturi-Jet filter unless all moving parts are completely enclosed and all guards, grates and
maintenance panels are in place and securely fastened.
• All protective covers, guards, grates, maintenance panels, switches and warning decals must be kept in place and in
good repair. Any equipment with a damaged malfunctioning, defective, or missing protective device must be taken out
of service until the protective device can be repaired or replaced.
•
Do not abuse, overload, mistreat or misuse the Kice Venturi-Jet filter or attempt to operate the Kice Venturi-Jet filter if
it is in need of service, lubrication, maintenance or repair.
•
The Kice Venturi-Jet filter may be installed and programmed to start automatically or be controlled from a remote
location. Keep clear of all moving parts on industrial equipment and on the Kice Venturi-Jet filter at all times, until the
POWER IS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED OUT.
•
Do not attempt to work on, clean or service the Kice Venturi-Jet filter, open or remove any protective cover, guard,
grate, connection or maintenance panel until the POWER IS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED OUT. A main disconnect
device must be installed to achieve this.
• The compressed air supply must be disconnected from the system before service and repair work is carried out. The
switch-off devices for the compressed air supply, as with the electrical supply, are the responsibility of the distributing
company (operator) of the overall system.
•
During installation, the motor and frame of each piece of equipment including the Kice Venturi-Jet filter, must be
effectively and separately grounded in accordance with OSHA safety and health standards, the National Electrical
Code, local codes and DIN EN 60204-1 or DIN EN 60439-1 as required for the classified area.
•
High voltage and rotating parts can cause series or fatal injury. Only qualified, trained, and experienced personnel
should perform installation, operation, and maintenance of electrical machinery. Make sure the Kice Venturi-Jet filter
is grounded in accordance with OSHA, National Electric Code, and all other applicable regulatory bodies, including
local codes and EN ISO 60204-1 as required for the classified area.
WARNING:
All owners and operators should read this manual and be instructed in safe
operating and maintenance procedures before attempting to uncrate, install, operate, adjust
or service this equipment.
