Take all appropriate precautions when welding or
carrying out any other repairs which release heat,
flames or sparks. Protect all components in the
vicinity with non-flammable material. Drain
lubrication system parts or components containing
oil if working close to them.
Never use a naked flame as a light to inspect the
drier.
Before dismantling a drier make sure that all the
moving and heavy parts are attached. After the
intervention, check that no tool rag or waste has
been left inside.
Check the direction of rotation of the electric
motors, and, in particular, the fan, when starting the
machine after an intervention on the electric
connections or the power supply cut-out.
All protection systems must be reset after repair or
maintenance.
Do not clean components with flammable liquids
when the drier is operating.
If non-flammable chlorinated hydrocarbons are
used for cleaning, take all safety precautions to
prevent injury from the toxic vapours released.
Before removing any panel or dismantling any part
of the unit:
1.
Turn off the power supply to the drier by setting
the master switch to "OFF " and removing the fuses.
2.
Stick a label on the lever of the master switch
and install a «WORK IN PROGRESS - DO NOT
ENERGISE " warning panel. Do not touch the master
switch and do not try to start the drier if the warning
panel is in place.
3.
Close the by-pass valves up- and down-stream
from the drier and install on each valve a “WORK IN
PROGRESS - DO NOT OPEN " warning panel. Only
reopen these valves when restarting the drier.
4.
Check that all pressurised components in the
system have reverted to atmospheric pressure.
Check that all the pressure gauges indicate a
pressure of zero bars, i.e. atmospheric pressure.
2.2
Cooling fluid safety notice
Mastéria dryers use a cooling gas of the type
shown on the manufacturer's plate on the
appliance.
Very dirty refrigerating circuits, for example
following a compressor fire, must only be cleaned
by a qualified refrigeration technician. Comply
with current safety laws and regulations.
The refrigerant is not flammable, explosive, toxic or
corrosive in normal conditions. When released into
the atmosphere, it becomes a heavier-than-air
and almost odourless vapour. In contact with a
naked flame or a very hot metal surface, this
vapour breaks down into highly irritant products
which are immediately noticeable.
If the refrigerant gas leaks, it is advisable to air the
buildings concerned abundantly and to shut down
all the systems likely to break down the vapours by
flame or heat immediately.
Every intervention on the cooling circuit must be
carried out by qualified personnel approved by
CTA.
In the event of:
•
chilblains, warm up the frozen skin as soon as
possible.
•
splashes in the eyes, rinse abundantly with
running water.
Then consult a doctor immediately.
