Explosion hazard due to increased surface temperature
Components within the motor may be hotter than the maximum permissible surface
temperature for the enclosure. In an explosive atmosphere, dust can ignite and an
explosion occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• Do not open the motor in an explosive and dusty atmosphere when it is still at normal
• Allow the machine to cool down before opening it.
Explosion hazard due to improper maintenance
If repairs to the anti-condensation heating are not carried out correctly, e.g. if unauthorized

potentially explosive gaseous atmosphere. This can result in death, serious injury, or
material damage.
• Repairing and mounting the anti-condensation heating and the subsequent routine
• Only authorized and tested spare parts may be used.
