Monitor operation
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffler:
A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing.
Particles carried in the air flow act like bullets and can injure your eyes
or skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the
vicinity of the dryer!
Only operate the dryer within the permissible limits (see type plate). By
operating the dryer in conditions that go beyond the defined values, the dryer
is subjected to loads for which it has not been designed. This may cause
functional defects.
The more powerful the dryer is, the more noise may be generated during
operation. Therefore, the operator must provide suitable protective
equipment (e. g. ear protection).
Check the dryer regularly for externally visible damage and defects. Any
changes, even in its operating behaviour, must be reported immediately to
the competent office or person.
In the event of an emergency or if a safety-relevant disruption occurs (e.g.
escaping compressed air, defective component), immediately close the
compressed air supply line and set the ON/OFF switch of the dryer to
0
in
order to disconnect it from the power supply. Afterwards depressurise the
dryer (see also chapter
,
page 37)
.
The unit may only be restarted after all
defects have been eliminated.
Maintenance of the dryer and fault removal
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 maintenance work only when the plant has been shut down and
depressurised!
The factory settings on the control board in the switchbox must not be
changed on any account without prior approval by the manufacturer.
Bolt connections must be undone with care! Note ram pressure values!
Otherwise emerging media may cause personal injury.
Never use pipes and fittings as steps or holding points! The components
might fracture, or the distortions which occur may cause internal damage on
the dryer. There is a risk of injury by slipping off the components,
components breaking off, and expanding compressed air!
Never leave tools, loose parts or cloths at or on the dryer.
Following maintenance work always test all flange and bolt connections for
leak tightness and secure seating.
