PRIOR TO INSTALLING, OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT
SPX recommends users of our equipment and designs follow the latest Industrial Safety Standards. At a mini-
mum, these should include the industrial safety requirements established by:
1. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Title 29 of the CFR
Section 1910.212- General Requirements for all Machines
2. National Fire Protection Association, ANSI/NFPA 79
ANSI/NFPA 79- Electrical Standards for Industrial Machinery

Attention: Servicing energized industrial equipment can be hazardous. Severe injury or death can result from
electrical shock, burn, or unintended actuation of controlled equipment. Recommended practice is to discon-
nect and lockout industrial equipment from power sources, and release stored energy, if present. Refer to the
National Fire Protection Association Standard No. NFPA70E, Part II and (as applicable) OSHA rules for Con-
trol of Hazardous Energy Sources (Lockout-Tagout) and OSHA Electrical Safety Related Work Practices,
including procedural requirements for:
• Lockout-tagout
• Personnel qualifications and training requirements
• When it is not feasible to de-energize and lockout-tagout electrical circuits and equipment before working
on or near exposed circuit parts
Locking and Interlocking Devices: These devices should be checked for proper working condition and capa-
bility of performing their intended functions. Make replacements only with the original manufacturer's renewal
parts or kits. Adjust or repair in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Periodic Inspection: Industrial equipment should be inspected periodically. Inspection intervals should be
based on environmental and operating conditions and adjusted as indicated by experience. At a minimum, an
initial inspection within 3 to 4 months after installation is recommended. Inspection of the electrical control sys-
tems should meet the recommendations as specified in the National Electrical Manufacturers Association
(NEMA) Standard No. ICS 1.3, Preventative Maintenance of Industrial Control and Systems Equipment, for the
general guidelines for setting-up a periodic maintenance program.
Replacement Equipment: Use only replacement parts and devices recommended by the manufacturer to
maintain the integrity of the equipment. Make sure the parts are properly matched to the equipment series,
model, serial number, and revision level of the equipment.
