DigitalFlow™ XGF868i Service Manual

Qualification of Personnel

Make sure that all personnel have manufacturer-approved training applicable to the auxiliary equipment.

Personal Safety Equipment

Make sure that operators and maintenance personnel have all safety equipment applicable to the auxiliary 

equipment. Examples include safety glasses, protective headgear, safety shoes, etc.

Unauthorized Operation

Make sure that unauthorized personnel cannot gain access to the operation of the equipment.

Environmental Compliance

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

Baker Hughes is an active participant in Europe’s 

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

 (WEEE) take-back 

initiative, directive 2012/19/EU.

The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may 

contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the 

natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle 

most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional 

waste administration.
Visit 

www.bakerhughesds.com/health-safety-and-environment-hse

 for take-back instructions and more 

information about this initiative.

WARNING!

Make sure that power to the auxiliary equipment is turned OFF and locked out 

before you perform maintenance procedures on the equipment.
