Safety and Operational Guidelines
DANGER
This symbol identifies situations that endanger people, property, and/or equipment.
If such
conditions exist, the equipment must be shut down and all energy sources (electrical, gas, and
pneumatic) must be disconnected, purged, and locked out until the problem is resolved.
Never attempt to bypass or defeat any safety device.
Do not attempt to operate the equipment if
any safety device is not functioning properly, or if any doubt exists about proper operation of safety
devices.
The product described in this publication may operate at high speed and contain numerous
moving parts.
It may employ natural gas or propane, mechanical or pneumatic forces, and/or
hazardous voltages, and may create other conditions that could, through misuse, abuse,
unauthorized alteration or retrofitting, inattention, or lack of understanding, result in injury, death, or
damage to the product or to other equipment. In addition, improper operation may also depreciate
the value of the machine and other assets of the owner, and impair the working efficiency of the
machine.
Energy Sources
M&R equipment may use one of more of the following energy sources:
Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy)
Electricity
Gas (Natural Gas or Propane)
Each form of energy presents its own unique hazards and requires appropriate precautions.
Danger From
Compressed Air
(Pneumatic
Energy)
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to work on pneumatic components or assemblies. Before
work is started on pneumatic components or assemblies, equipment should be disconnected from the
air supply and all pneumatic lines should be purged to prevent accidental operation of pneumatic
assemblies. All pneumatic pipes and hoses should be checked frequently for damage and wear.
Danger From
Electrical
Energy
Only qualified personnel should have access to electrical enclosures or work on electrical systems,
and enclosures should be locked when not in use. Electrical equipment should be checked regularly.
WARNING
Failure to follow safety and maintenance procedures or to take appropriate corrected action when
required can result in severe or fatal personal injuries, property damage, and/or damage to the
equipment.
