WARNING
Operators must be trained to deal with the occurrence of possible
faults, malfunctions or dangerous conditions to themselves or others, and in such an
event must:
•
stop the fan immediately by operating the emergency stop device (mushroom-
shaped pushbutton/main switch mounted on the electrical panel);
•
not carry out operations which are beyond their duties and/or technical knowledge.
2.2 General safety instructions
WARNING
•
Safety devices must not be removed or rendered ineffective;
•
the fan must not be started with guards removed;
•
any adjustment or maintenance operation must be performed with the electrical
isolating device activated and locked in position with a padlock;
•
any operation is prohibited which may cause arcing or sparks or other situations
which could start a fire;
•
in the event of alarm signals resulting in the intervention of safety devices, the
operator must ask for immediate action by qualified technicians responsible for
maintenance;
•
user must ensure that the environmental and electricity supply conditions in which
the fan operates are always within the limits specified in this user manual;
•
do not for any reason modify parts of the fan in order to fit additional devices.
2.3 Safety devices
In the process of designing and building the fan, the manufacturer adopted the necessary
technical solutions to ensure compliance with fundamental safety requirements: the object of
the risk reduction process was to ensure that the operator can use the fan in safety. The
machine is provided with protection devices of fixed type and is fitted with an actuator for the
emergency stop function.
Fixed guards
The fixed guards are solidly fixed to the structure of the machine and cannot easily be eluded:
the guards are fixed with systems which require the use of tools for dismantling.
WARNING
Do not start the fan with fixed guards removed: the guards can only be
removed with special tools, by specialized and trained personnel and with the system
stationary (emergency system activated and electricity and hydraulic fluid isolated).
At the end of maintenance operations, the guards which were removed must be replaced
correctly.
