Safety

Safety
➤ Strictly forbid fire, open flame and smoking.
➤ If welding is carried out on or near the machine, take adequate measures to prevent sparks or
heat from igniting fuel or oil vapours or parts of the machine.
➤ The machine is not explosion-proof!
Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements regarding explosion protection are in force.
For instance, the requirements of ATEX directive 94/9/EC "Equipment and Protective Systems
intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres".
➤ Ensure that required ambient conditions are maintained with regard to:
■ ambient temperature,
■ clean inlet air with no damaging contaminants,
■ inlet air free of explosive or chemically unstable gases or vapours,
■ inlet air free of acid/alkaline forming substances, particularly ammonia, chlorine or hydrogen
sulphide.
➤ Keep suitable fire extinguishing agents ready for use.

Positioning conditions

The ground at the machine's location must be level, firm and able to take the machine's weight (not
more than 15° inclination in any direction).
Minimum distance from excavations/slopes and walls
1. Keep sufficient distance (at least 1.5 m) from the edges of excavations and slopes.
2. Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.
CAUTION
Danger of burning from build up of heat and hot exhaust.
Insufficient distance from a wall may well cause heat build-up that could damage the machine.
➤ Do not position the machine directly against a wall.
➤ Ensure always sufficient ventilation space around the machine.
3. Position the machine as far as possible from any wall.
4. Ensure there is enough free space around and above the machine.
5. Keep air inlet and outlet openings free of obstructions so that the cooling air can flow freely through
the machine.
