Health & Safety
Scrubber dryers may be powered by mains electricity or batteries. There are risks asso-
ciated with both, which call for proper precautions, such as the provision of good venti-
lation and the elimination of risk of ignition.
All work, carried out on such machines, should only be performed by trained personnel
in accordance with local regulations.
Before working on such a machine, isolate it from any electrical power source.
Always wear the required personal protective equipment (including gloves and goggles)
that must be worn when potentially exposed to any hazardous material and when carry-
ing out hazardous tasks.
Note that parts may be contaminated with chemical product. If possible flush hoses out
with fresh water prior to carrying out any maintenance. For information on chemical
products that are used in this machine, please carefully read the product label and Ma-
terial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Empty water tanks prior to carrying out any maintenance. Ensure contaminated water is
emptied into an approved drain. Avoid pollution.

ESD
Static electricity is electricity at rest or the accumulation of electric charge, as opposed
to an electric current which is the movement of electricity. The flow or movement of peo-
ple and/or materials in and through the environment causes separation of electrons and
therefore static electricity. A familiar example of static electricity is when a person walks
across a carpeted floor. Static electricity/electrostatic charge is generated simply by the
contact and separation of the soles of that individual's shoes from the carpeted floor.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurs when the electrostatic charge is transferred from a
material that carries the charge to an electrostatic sensitive device. In the example above,
this electrostatic discharge is the „shock“ felt after walking across the carpeted floor and
then touching a door knob. It is this electrostatic discharge, which comes in varying de-
