Safety
Operating fluid which sprays off or leaks out:
WARNING
Risk of losing sight due to operating fluid spraying off, risk of burning
In case of thermal overload of the turbo coupling, the fusible plugs respond.
Operating fluid leaks out through these fusible plugs.
This may happen only in case of unintended use.
•
Persons close to the turbo coupling have to wear safety goggles.
•
Please make sure that the spraying-off operating fluid cannot get in contact
with persons.
•
If the fusible plugs spray off, switch off the drive immediately.
•
Electrical devices located near the turbo coupling need to be splash-guarded.
WARNING
Fire hazard
After the fusible plugs responded, spraying off oil may ignite on hot surfaces
causing fire, as well as releasing toxic gases and vapor.
•
Make sure that spraying off operating fluid cannot get into contact with hot
machine parts, heaters, sparks or open flames.
•
Immediately switch off the driving machine when the fusible plugs respond.
•
Please pay attention to the information contained in the safety data sheets.
CAUTION
Danger of slipping
Slipping hazard due to spraying off solder of fusible plugs and leaking out
operating fluid.
•
Please provide a catch pan of sufficient size.
