Significance
Use / Behaviour
Warning against sus-
pended loads
Warning of suspended loads being transported.
No person may remain in the danger area during trans-
port. In particular, do not encroach into the area under
the raised compressor or place your feet beneath it.
Warning against moving
machine parts
During maintenance work it is necessary to check some
functions with an opened enclosure. There is a risk of
injury due to rotating or translational movements.
Maintenance work must only be carried out by specially
trained personnel.
Warning of hand injuries Danger that the hands could be crushed, drawn in or
otherwise injured.
Maintain a safe distance.
Warning of automatic
start-up
In normal operating mode, the compressor may start up
automatically at any time. The readiness for operation
of the compressor is indicated by the green LED on the
control panel.
Do not carry out any work on the compressor, if the
green LED illuminates.
Warning of hot surfaces Parts of the compressor become very hot during opera-
tion (up to 235 °C / 455 °F). Risk of injury due to hot sur-
faces.
Before starting any maintenance and repair work, the
compressor must be sufficiently cooled.
Warning of suffocation
Risk of suffocation due to inadequate ventilation and
extraction in the compressor room.
The operator must provide adequate ventilation of the
compressor room.
Warning of crushing haz-
ards
Warning of crushing hazards due to working materials
(e.g. a machine) or a structural element (e.g. covers,
enclosure panels, protection devices, boundary fences).
When working on the identified workstations, increased
awareness is necessary.
Remaining under the
load is forbidden
It is not permitted to remain under a suspended load.
The driver is not permitted to drive the industrial truck if
there is a person beneath the load. Moreover, the dri-
ver is obliged to check that persons do not stand or walk
under the load.
The load must only be transported so that it is suffi-
ciently clear of the ground (max. 0.5 m / 20 in above the
ground). (In Germany, refer to the law BGV D27 "Indus-
trial trucks”). The driver of an industrial truck is responsi-
ble for all driving and load movements.
