2.1 Health & Safety
Scrubber dryers may be powered by mains electricity or batteries. There are risks as-
sociated with both, which call for proper precautions, such as the provision of good
ventilation and the elimination of risk of ignition.
All work, implemented on such machines should only be performed by trained per-
sonnel in accordance with local regulations.
Before working on such a machine, isolate it from any electrical source.
Always wear the required personal protective equipment (including gloves and gog-
gles that must be worn when potentially exposed to any hazardous material and when
carrying out hazardous work tasks).
Note that parts may be contaminated with chemical product. If possible flush hoses
out with fresh water prior to carrying out any maintenance. For information on chem-
ical products that are used in this machine, please carefully read the product label
and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Empty water tanks prior to carrying out any maintenance. Ensure contaminated water
is emptied into an approved drain. Avoid pollution.
2.2 ESD
Static electricity is electricity at rest or the accumulation of electric charge, as op-
posed to an electric current which is the movement of electricity. The flow or move-
ment of people and/or materials in and through the environment causes separation
and therefore static electricity. A familiar example of static electricity is when a per-
son walks across a carpeted floor. Static electricity/electrostatic charge is generated
simply by the contact and separation of the soles of that individual's shoes from the
carpeted floor.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurs when the electrostatic charge is transferred from
a material that carries the charge to an electrostatic sensitive device. In the example
above, this electrostatic discharge is the „shock" felt after walking across the carpeted
