14. OPERATING HAZARDS
Power supply
Any type of intervention must not be carried out before unplugging the machine from power supply. Make
sure that no one can start it up again during the intervention. All the installed electric and electronic equipment,
reservoirs and basic components must be grounded.
Flammability
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not normally flammable. However, it is advised to avoid
contact with extremely hot substances or naked flames.
Pressure
Prior to any intervention, check the absence of residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit as it may
cause oil sprays when disassembling components or fittings.
Noise
Pump does not produce excessive noise, less than 70 dB(A).
15. PRECAUTIONS
No particular operating hazards characterize the machine, except for the following precautions:
♦
Operator’s contact with the lubricant in case of piping breaking/opening or during
refill/maintenance. -> Protection against direct and indirect contact with the fluid must be provided
by the user:
the operator must be provided with suitable individual protective clothing and devices
(tit VIII – 626).
♦
Use of incompatible lubricant. Main unauthorized fluids:
