2.4.3 Danger due to pressurised components
Serious injuries may occur due to components under high pressure.
– Maintenance and repair work on the inert gas equipment must only be
performed by personnel especially trained for this.
– Prior to maintenance and repair work, depressurise all machine components that
are under pressure (take the pressure accumulator into consideration here).
– Regularly check the pressurised components.
– Regularly replace hose lines during preventative maintenance, even if no damage
is detected.
– Observe the warning messages and instructions specified in the operating
instructions.
– Wear personal protective equipment when working on the machine.
2.4.4 Danger due to oxygen-displacing gases
Risk of suffocation due to high inert gas concentrations.
Higher concentrations of inert gas can result in suffocation, since they displace the
atmospheric oxygen.
– Only operate the machine at a well-ventilated location.
If necessary, install a device for monitoring the ambient air.
– Keep the air slots and openings free and clean.
– Make sure that the inert gas equipment is regularly checked for leaks.
– To ensure safe handling, observe the safety data sheet for the inert gas.
2.4.5 Risk of crushing
There is a risk of crushing between the lid and the machine.
– Never use the machine without a gas pressure cylinder or lid lifter.
– When closing the lid, make sure that body parts do not get caught.
