• Installation
• Commissioning
• Maintenance, repair, cleaning
Specialists who perform these tasks must have a level of knowledge that meets
applicable national standards and regulations.
Additional knowledge is required for tasks in hazardous areas! R. STAHL recommends
having a level of knowledge equal to that described in the following standards:
• IEC/EN 60079-14 (Electrical installations design, selection and erection)

3.3
Residual risks
3.3.1 Explosion hazard
Despite the device's state-of-the-art design, explosion hazards cannot be entirely
eliminated in hazardous areas.
Perform all work steps in hazardous areas with the utmost care at all times!
Possible hazards (residual risks) can be categorised according to the following causes:
Mechanical damage
The device can be compressed or scratched during transport, mounting or
commissioning, which can result in a loss of leak tightness. This kind of damage can,
for example, render the device's explosion protection partially or fully ineffective.
This may result in explosions causing serious or even fatal injury to persons in the vicinity.
Take into account the weight of the device; see specifications on the packaging.
Transport the device only in its original packaging or in equivalent packaging.
Use transporting or lifting equipment that is suitable for the size and weight
of the device and can reliably carry the weight of the device.
Do not place any load on the device.
Check the packaging and the device for damage. Report any damage to R. STAHL
immediately.
Store the device in its original packaging in a dry place (with no condensation),
and make sure that it is stable and protected against the effects of vibrations and
knocks.
Do not damage the enclosure or sealing when mounting.
