7 Initial Start-up
7.1 Ensuring safety
Here you will find instructions for a safe commissioning of the machine.
Warning instructions are located before a potentially dangerous task.
Disregard of warning instructions can cause serious injuries!
Complying with safety notes
Disregard of safety notes can cause unforeseeable dangers!
➤ Follow the instructions in chapter 3 'Safety and Responsibility'.
➤ Commissioning tasks may only be carried out by authorised personnel!
➤ Make sure that no one is working on the machine.
➤ Ensure that all service doors and panels are locked.
When working on live components
Touching voltage carrying components can result in electric shocks, burns or death.
➤ Work on electrical equipment may only be carried out by authorised electricians.
➤ Switch off and lock out the power supply isolating device and verify the absence of voltage.
➤ Check that there is no voltage on floating relay contacts.
When working on the compressed air system
Compressed air is contained energy. Uncontrolled release of this energy can cause serious injury
or death. The following safety concerns relate to any work on components that could be under
pressure.
➤ Close shut-off valves or otherwise isolate the machine from the compressed air network to en‐
sure that no compressed air can flow back into the machine.
➤ De-pressurise all pressurised components and enclosures.
➤ Check all hose couplings in the compressed air system with a hand-held pressure gauge to en‐
sure that they all read 0 bar.
➤ Do not open or dismantle any valves.
When working on the drive system
Touching voltage carrying components can result in electric shocks, burns or death.
Touching the fan wheel, the coupling or the belt drive while the machine is switched on can result
in serious injury.
➤ Switch off and lock out the power supply isolating device and verify the absence of voltage.
➤ Do not open the cabinet while the machine is switched on.
