SPECIAL
CONDITIONS
FOR SAFE USE
REQUIRED
BY ATEX
CERTIFICATION
Over pressurization of equipment
can cause equipment failure or
injury.
Use lubricating medium resistant
to carburisation.
Improper operation or
maintenance may create a hazard.
1. Do not exceed the stated maximum working pressures
and motor speed as specified in this manual.
2. Only a suitably approved static dissipating or conductive
air supply hoses shall be attached to the equipment and
terminated to the air supply.
3. Air supplies (compressors, etc.) shall be sited in a non-
hazardous area with a filter on the air intake system to
prevent the ingress of dust or similar foreign material
into the parts where compression takes place.
4. Use lubricating medium resistant to carburisation and
has an auto ignition temperature of more than 185ºC for
T4 equipment.
5. User shall ensure all metallic parts of the equipment are
suitably bonded to earth. Should be no greater than 1
.
