Surface temperature of the units may increase due to environmental circumstances. Therefore the
surface temperature should be monitored.
Avoid inflammable dust deposits.
Remove dust deposits daily before commencing work and ensure that dust cannot settle between
moving parts.
Never remove dust with compressed air - remove it with a wet bolt of cloth.
Please observe the prescribed intervals.
Assembly and maintenance work must only be carried out in an atmosphere not prone to explosion.
Check fat of the bearing regularly.
Change friction linings in time.
Protect the device from impact, friction, rough handling and moisture.
Special scope
Use of different EX-zones is depended from the EX-classification of the unit. Find the EX-classification on its
