Safety In The Event Of Defective Devices; Safety At The Installation Location - MAXIMATOR GPLV 2 Assembly Instructions Manual

2.4.2

Safety in the event of defective devices

During operation of the air amplifiers, both the drive part and the high-pressure part
are under pressure. The escaping gases are subjected to high pressure if there is a
defect or even during normal operation. They must not be intercepted or restrained
by objects or body parts. You must ensure, in the event of a defect, that the air
amplifier is immediately depressurized and repaired.
HAZARD
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out on depressurized equipment.
2.4.3

Safety at the installation location

The air amplifiers have been built in accordance with the generally accepted
engineering standards valid at the time of their development and manufacture and
are deemed to be operationally safe.
The air amplifiers may be the source of hazards if they are used by staff who have
not been professionally trained, or are used incorrectly or abnormally. Air amplifiers
are designed exclusively for compressing air. If you are using other gases, you must
consult MAXIMATOR GmbH. Pipes and accessories must be matched to system
pressure and be of the corresponding size. You must take appropriate measures to
ensure that the drive and charge pressure (p
permissible value of 10 bars. Before repair work is undertaken, the entire system
must be depressurized. The air amplifier must be installed in a way that keeps the
actuators and bolted unions freely accessible at all times.
Safety devices, designed to prevent the permissible operating pressure from being
exceeded by 10%, are fitted downstream of the air amplifier. These safety devices
must not be lockable. They must be easily accessible and subjected to recurring
function tests.
Measuring devices must be provided for surveillance of the compressor pressure.
If a downstream pressure tank is used, the provisions of the pressure vessel
regulation must be complied with.
