Safety notes on specific operating phases
Transportation and siting
During transportation all applicable national regulations for accident
prevention must be complied with.
Start-up
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffler:
A loud expansion noise is caused which may damage your hearing.
Particles carried in the air can injure your eyes or skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the
vicinity of the dryer!
Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the dryer, or manipulate the same in any way,
for as long as the plant is still pressurised! A sudden escape of pressure
may cause serious injuries.
Before carrying out any work on the dryer, first depressurise the plant.
Carry out all prescribed tests and checks.
The factory settings on the control board in the switchbox must not be
changed on any account without prior approval by the manufacturer.
Before start-up, ensure that no tools or other foreign parts have been left
lying in a part of the dryer where they might pose a hazard to the dryer being
started up.
Emergency shutdown
To emergency shut-down the dryer heed to the following instructions:
►
Close shut off valves upstream and downstream of the dryer (if applicable)
►
Disconnect the electrical power supply (i.e. by switching the On/Off switch to
0
).
The dryer is now off-line.
►
If applicable, depressurise the dryer now.
Before re-commissioning of the dryer ensure that the emergency situation has
been solved and that the dryer is not damaged.
Never comission a damaged dryer!
