Control the Ignition Source:
• Where applicable, use an electric motor rated for the
dust classification area.
• Do Not smoke inside or near the grain bin.
• Use only explosion-proof lights.
• Do Not use anything around or inside the equipment
that may produce a flame or sparks unless the air and
equipment are free of dust.
• Do Not use a match/lighter, grinder, or power saw. Use
brush-less electrical tools and explosion proof flash
lights.
• Where possible, keep the work area wet such that dust
cannot be dispersed in the air and smoldering process-
es from sparks cannot develop.
• Follow the maintenance schedule to keep equipment
operating properly at low temperatures.
• Purchase replacement parts from the manufacturer or
authorized dealer/distributor. Original manufacturers
parts are designed with explosion proof features where
