sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil
vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure
vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they
function properly. They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating
pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down
devices are fitted and that they function correctly.
17. Protect the motor, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from
entering them, e.g. when steam-cleaning.
18. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on
the bodywork, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the
manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
19. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate
bowls.
20. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated;
if required, use breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin
with water. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or
remove the latter; flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant
is flushed away; then seek medical first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation .
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas. Processing
of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application which are
not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
1.6 Dismantling and disposal
Dismantling
Once the end of life of the machine is reached, please follow next steps:
1. Stop the machine.
2. Check all safety precautions mentioned in the previous chapters to secure safe handling
(e.g. LOTO, cool-down, depressurize, discharge, ...).
3. Separate the harmful from the safe components (e.g. drain oil from oil containing parts).
4. Refer to the disposal topic mentioned below.
Disposal of electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE)
This equipment falls under the provisions of the European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste
electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE) and may not be disposed as unsorted waste.
