Special dangers and personal protective equipment
•
Depending on operating conditions, the surface of the gear unit may heat up or cool down to extreme
temperatures.
In the case of hot surfaces (> 55 °C) there is a risk of burns!
In the case of cold surfaces (< 0 °C) there is a risk of frost injury (pain, numbness,
frostbite)!
During oil changes there is a risk of scalding from escaping oil!
Small foreign matter such as sand, dust, etc., may often easily find their way past the
guards of the rotating parts and be thrown around by them.
Risk of eye injury!
In addition to any generally prescribed personal safety equipment (such as safety shoes,
safety clothing, helmet) handling the gear unit requires wearing
suitable safety gloves
and
suitable safety glasses
!
The gear unit does not comply with the requirements in Directive 94/9/EC and must
therefore, in the area of applicability of this directive, not be used in potentially
explosive areas.
Caution, serious danger!
Should the gear unit be used outside the area of applicability of Directive 94/9/EC
within potentially explosive areas, the nationally applying protective prescriptions
with regard to explosion protection must always be observed.
