HEALTH AND SAFETY
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the

It is important that this document is retained with the equipment for future reference. Should the equipment be
transferred to a new owner, always ensure that all relevant documents are supplied in order that the new owner can
become acquainted with the functioning of the equipment and the relevant warnings.
Installation should only be carried out by a suitably experienced contractor, following the guidelines supplied with the
equipment.
The unit should
have a Pre-Service Agreement Inspection
by an approved engineer. Contact Kingspan.
We recommend the use of a dust mask and gloves when cutting GRP components.
A qualified electrician should carry out electrical work.
Sewage and sewage effluent can carry micro-organisms harmful to human health. Any person carrying out maintenance
on the equipment should wear suitable protective clothing, including gloves. Good hygiene practice should also be
observed.
Covers must be kept locked.
Observe all hazard labels and take appropriate action to avoid exposure to the risks indicated.
The correct on-going maintenance is essential for the proper operation of the equipment. Service contracts are available
and recommended. Please contact Kingspan for details of your local service provider.
Should you wish to inspect the operation of the equipment, please observe all necessary precautions, including those
listed below, which apply to maintenance procedures.
BioDisc units contain rotating machinery and associated drive belts.
Ensure that you are familiar with the safe working areas and accesses.
Ensure that the working area is adequately lit.
The power supply to the equipment must be isolated at the control panel(s) before lifting the covers. Where a specific
maintenance procedure requires the equipment to be running with the covers off, all care must be taken to avoid contact
with moving parts and electrical components or conductors. Drive guards must be replaced and secured if removed
during maintenance.
Once power has been isolated, the control panel must be kept locked shut to avoid accidental re-connection whilst work
or inspection is being carried out.
Use only the designated access walkways. Do not walk on the cover or deep well safety mesh(es)
Take care to maintain correct posture, particularly when lifting. Use appropriate lifting equipment when necessary. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times. Avoid any sharp edges.
Desludging should be carried out by a licensed waste disposal contractor holding the relevant permits to transport and
dispose of sewage sludge. The contractor must refer to the desludge instructions in the Operating Handbook, a copy of
the instructions is fastened under the covers.
