Preparing for use

Good planning and preparation of machine applications are essential in terms of keeping
installation simple and avoiding errors, ensuring safe operation, and allowing access to the
machine for servicing and corrective maintenance.
This chapter outlines what you need to consider when configuring your plant in relation to
this machine and the preparations you need to make before the machine is delivered.
4.1

Safety-related aspects to consider when configuring the plant

A number of residual risks are associated with the machine. These are described in the
chapter titled "Safety information" (Page 11) and in related sections.
Take appropriate safety precautions (covers, barriers, markings, etc.) to ensure the machine
is operated safely within your plant.
4.2

Observing the operating mode

Observe the machine's operating mode. Use a suitable control system to prevent
overspeeds, thus protecting the machine from damage.
4.3

Machines without final paint coating

For machines, which are only delivered with primer, you must paint them to comply with the
applicable guidelines for the specific application. The primer alone does not provide
adequate corrosion protection.
The paint applied must conform to the requirements to avoid electrostatic charging, see
EN 60079-0.
Please contact the Service Center for recommendations relating to the paint finish.
