Safety 1 Safety This section is a summary of import ant safety aspects to ensure optimum protection of the personnel and safe and trouble-free operation. CAUTION! This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a possibly hazardous situation which may cause minor or light injuries if not avoided. The owner, lessor or operator of this compressor is hereby notified a nd forewarned that failure to observe these safety precautions may result in injury and/or property damage.
Safety 1.2 Proper use Warning – high-voltage. The machine is designed and constructed exclusively for the proper use described here. Warning – explosive substances. The screw compressor serves exclusively to generate compressed air in an environment not subject to explosion. The screw compressor must be supplied exclusively with cool, dry and dust-free cooling air. Warning – danger zone.
Safety Claims of any type for damage due to misuse are excluded. 1.4 Safety devices 1.3 General safety WARNING! Danger to life from nonfunctional safety devices! 1. Read and understand all the instructions found in this manual before operating your compressor. 2. Disconnect the main power source before working on or performing any maintenance procedures on this unit. Use a lock out and tag out process. 3.
Safety Do not change the pressure setting of the pressure relief valve, restrict the function of the relief valve or replace the relief valve with a plug. 1.4.2 Description of the installed safety devices Emergency stop button 1.5 Environmental protection NOTICE! Danger to the environment from incorrect handling of pollutants! Incorrect handling of pollutants, particularly incorrect waste disposal, may cause serious damage to the environment. Fig.
