2.1 Health & Safety

Scrubber dryers may be powered by mains electricity or batteries. There are risks as-

sociated with both, which call for proper precautions, such as the provision of good

ventilation and the elimination of risk of ignition.

All work, implemented on such machines should only be performed by trained per-

sonnel in accordance with local regulations.

Before working on such a machine, isolate it from any electrical source and lock out

/ tagout.

Always wear the required Personal Protective Equipment (including gloves and gog-

gles that must be worn when potentially exposed to any hazardous material and when

carrying out hazardous work 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 chem-

ical products that are used in this machine, please carefully read the product label

and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Empty water tanks prior to carrying out any maintenance. Ensure contaminated water

is emtied into an approved drain. Avoid pollution.

2.2 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 move-

ment of people and/or materials in and through the environment causes separation

and therefore static electricity. A familiar example of static electricity is when a per-

son 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 trans-

ferred 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 degrees, that can be most damaging to electrical devices and
