WARNING
Risk of injury due to rotating, sharp-edged rotors!
Accidental contact with the rotating rotors when the machine is running can result in cutting injuries,
amputation or the person being dragged in.
Before maintenance and repair work, secure the maintenance and repair switch against being turned on
again, for example by means of a padlock.
WARNING
Risk of injury from working materials escaping under high pressure!
When the drain plugs on the gearbox and seal chamber are loosened or the buffer fluid tank cover is
opened, working materials may spray out under high pressure.
•
Personnel must wear suitable protective clothing.
•
Before maintenance and repair work, release the seal chamber pressure.
•
To protect against fluids spraying out, open the seal chamber and the gearbox carefully and slowly.
Where appropriate, cover the valves or screws to be removed with a cloth or similar item.
