19. Whenever air containing hazardous substances is sucked in (i.e. biological or
microbiological agents), use abatement systems placed upstream of the
vacuum pump.
20. Any vacuum pump placed in an application with inlet gas stream temperatures
above the published maximum temperature should be approved by us prior to
start-up.
Note:
Also consult Safety precautions during operation on page 11 and Safety
precautions during maintenance or repair on page 12
.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert
gas. Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical
to the application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and
equipment; hence some statements may not apply to your machine.
2.3. Safety precautions during operation
WARNING:
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these
precautions, or non-observance of the normal caution and care required for
installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will
be disclaimed by the manufacturer.
1. Never touch any piping or components of the vacuum pump during operation.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. Make
sure that a hose is fully depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate
precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the
machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote start
equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking in flammable
or toxic fumes, vapours or particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork doors shut during operation. The doors may be opened for
short periods only, e.g. to carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when
opening a door.
On vacuum pumps without bodywork, wear ear protection in the vicinity of the
machine.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level
reaches or exceeds 80 dB(A) shall wear ear protectors.
