5.1 Safety instructions
Caution!
Ensure that maintenance work is ony carried out by specialists or appropri-
ately trained person.
–
Prior to starting any maintenance work, always stop the compressor as
described in these operating instructions prior to removing any safety
cladding or safety devices. Refit the safety cladding or safety devices
immediately upon completion of the maintenance work.
–
Heavy components may only be lifted up by various persons in due con-
sideration of the local industrial safety regulations.
–
Only use original spare parts, compressor oils and operating materials
released by BOGE for the maintenance work.
–
With an activated automatic restart (Auto-Restart) the compressor may
restart automatically after a voltage failure.
Prerequisite: The net pressure is lower than the set switch-on pressure.
Caution: Risk of injury!
Always adhere to the prescribed operating method described below for all
maintenance work. Never omit a single safety step!
Otherwise you will risk injury from restarting, electric shock or parts which
may fly off.
Prior to all maintenance work:
1. Switch off the compressor using the OFF button.
2. Switch off the main switch and secure against unintentional switching-on.
3. Check to ensure that all machine elements are definitely currentless.
4. Separate the compressor from the compressed air network by closing
the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
5. Vent the compressor.
To this effect open the safety valve on the combined compressed air-oil
receiver as follows:
–
Turn the knurled nut counterclockwise until you can feel a resilient
resistance.
–
Turn the knurled nut a little further.
Any possibly existing air will escape.
–
Once the residual air has completely escaped from the system, firmly
retighten the knurled nut.
Once the maintenance work has been concluded:
6. Open the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
7. Prior to switching on again, check whether anyone else is working on the
compressor.
