SECTION 2: SAFETY

2.3 Protective Equipment

Protective equipment such
as safety glasses and hearing
protection may be appropriate
or required during installation, operation, and
maintenance of the Rotofilter.
It is recommended that suitable personal protective
equipment be selected by a qualified entity prior
to installation and use of the unit. Personnel should
utilize such equipment to avoid bodily injury
or death.

2.4 Electrical Safety

Electrical hazards can cause injury
and death. Always use caution
when working near electricity.
Danger may still exist when the power is set to OFF.
All electrical work should be performed by a
qualified, professional electrician. This includes
installation, inspection, and repair of electrical
components.
A comprehensive lock-out, tag-out procedure
should be observed and followed for installation
and maintenance of the Rotofilter. Lock-out/tag-
out procedures often exist as standard operating
procedures within company guidelines. If your
company does not employ a lock-out/tag-out
procedure, please contact your nearest workplace
safety and health administration to obtain one.
Never operate electrical equipment while you are
standing in water.
Remove power, discharge, and ground a circuit
before touching it.
When possible, work in pairs, preferably with basic
life support qualified personnel.
Personnel working with or near dangerous
voltage should be trained in modern methods
of resuscitation.

2.5 Jewelry

Remove rings, watches, chains,
and other metallic objects that
could result in shock, burns, or
may catch on equipment.

2.6 Rotating Equipment

The Rotofilter employs rotating
equipment, which can cause
severe injury or death. Be aware of
all rotating parts and keep body and objects away
from these areas.
Never attempt to service the unit while it is in
Automatic Mode. The drum may begin rotating
without warning when it is in Automatic Mode. The
unit should never be operated in Automatic
Mode without lids and access panels installed.
Some operation and service procedures require
rotating the moving parts. These procedures should
always be performed in Manual Mode.
Be aware of any personnel in the area when
attempting to service the unit in Manual Mode.
Do not attempt to manually rotate the drum without
first observing the area for any personnel or objects
that may be caught in a rotating part.
Never attempt adjustments without powering off
the unit and locking out the control panel unless
otherwise specified by the service procedure.

2.7 UV Radiation

The RFUV emits ultraviolet light.
Never operate the unit without UV
module lids and covers installed.
Shut down the UV reactor prior to maintenance.
UV light can damage eyes and skin. Always wear
appropriate eye protection and protective clothing
when working on or around UV light.
