SAFETY
Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems recommends
the use of relief valves to protect against excessive
pressure or vacuum conditions. Test these valves
at initial start-up to be sure they are properly
adjusted to relieve at or below the maximum
pressure differential rating of the booster.
DANGER
!
It is the responsibility of the
installer to assure that proper
guarding is in place and compliant
with all applicable regulatory
requirements.
DANGER
!
Internal and external rotating
parts of the booster and driving
equipment can produce serious
physical injuries. The booster
should never be run with the inlet
or discharge piping removed. If
it becomes necessary to inspect
the rotating parts of the booster or
to change V-belts, be absolutely
sure that all power to the motor
controls has been shut off, the
motor controls are locked out,
and properly tagged before
proceeding.
DANGER
!
Assure that properly sized vacuum breaks/relief
valves are used on the inlet side of the booster.
Also assure that properly sized pressure relief
valves are used on the outlet of the booster. The
sizing shall be such to assure that the proper
flow can be achieved without exceeding the rated
vacuum and pressure ratings.
DANGER
!
Booster housing and associated
piping or accessories may
become hot enough to cause
major skin burns on contact.
WARNING
!
Use lock out/tag out procedures
to disable the electrical energy
source before any service or work
is done on the booster.
WARNING
!
Avoid extended exposure in
close proximity to machinery with
high intensity noise levels. Wear
adequate ear protection.
