14. OPERATING HAZARDS
It is necessary to read and understand the possible hazards and risks involved when using a lubrication pump. The
operator must fully understand the hazards explained in this manual.
Electrical Power
No maintenance must be performed on the unit without having detached and isolated the power supply and ensuring
that it cannot be reconnected for the duration of the maintenance task. Always remember to ensure that equipment
is properly earthed.
Flammable substances.
Mineral oils generally used in lubrication systems are not normally flammable. However, it is desirable to avoid
contact with extremely hot substances or naked flames. Ensure that the machine that the lubrication system is
installed onto contains the necessary fire extinguishing devices.
Pneumatic & Hydraulic Pressure
Before any maintenance or connection task, ensure that all pressure has been properly bled from the system. Residual
pneumatic or hydraulic pressure can cause the release of undesired spurts of liquid, which may hit the operator.
Always wear safety glasses and glove when working with pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
Noise and Vibration
The Pump does not produce excessive vibration or noise (less than 70 dB(Non si deve effettuare alcun intervento sulla
macchina prima di aver scollegato la stessa dall’alimentazione elettrica ed accertato che nessuno possa ricollegarla
durante l’intervento.
15. PRECAUTIONS
Contact with Oil. The operator should wear protective clothing to avoid contact with the lubricant.
Personnel must use personal protection equipment, clothing and tools adequate for the location and the use of
the panel both during its operation and during maintenance operations.
The use of the equipment referred to in this manual must be entrusted to qualified personnel with a basic
knowledge of mechanics, hydraulics and electrical systems.
It is the responsibility of the installer to use tubing suitable for the system; the use of inadequate tubing can cause
problems with the pump, injury to persons and create pollution
Loosening of connections can cause serious safety problems; carry out a check before and after installation and, if
necessary retighten them.
Never exceed the maximum working pressure values permitted for the panel and the components connected to
it.
Before any maintenance, cleaning or other operation disconnect the power supply, close off the air supply and
discharge the pressure from inside the equipment and the tubing connected to it.
Do not subject the panel, the connections, the tubing or parts under pressure to violent impacts; damaged tubing
or connections are dangerous and should be immediately replaced After long periods of inactivity check air
tightness of all parts subjected to pressure
Incompatible fluids may cause danger
Examples of incompatible/non-permissible Fluids.
Fluid
Danger
Lubricants containing abrasive components.
Premature wear of pump
Lubricants containing silicon.
Pump failure
Petrol, Solvents, flammable liquids
Fire, explosion, seal damage.
Corrosive products
Pump damage, danger to persons.
Water
Pump oxidization
Food Products
Contamination of product
