Cleaning the geared motor

Explosion hazard caused by overheating of the machine due to a layer of dust
Deposits of dust have a thermally insulating effect, causing the machine to overheat. The
maximum surface temperature of the machine is not adhered to. The dust is ignited as a result,
causing an explosion. Death, serious injury and material damage will result.
• Clean dust from the machine regularly.
• Do not allow dust layers thicker than 5 mm to build up on the machine surface.
• Switch the machine on when the dust has been removed.
NOTICE
Dust deposits cause higher housing temperatures
Dust deposits prevent heat radiation.
Keep the geared motor free from dirt and dust.
