7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds
90 dB(A) shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
• All guards are in place and securely fastened
• All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
• There are no leaks
• All fasteners are tight
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
• Safety valves and other pressure-relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
• Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in good
condition, free of wear or abuse
9. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-dampening material.
10. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine.
Every pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above
atmospheric pressure shall be protected by a pressure-relieving device or devices as required.
All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function
properly.
11. To safeguard correct operation of the equipment it is recommended to:
Monitor the outlet dew point at all occasions.
•
• When possible, install a CO sensor/monitor with alarms.

Safety precautions during maintenance or repair

1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.).
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
During use, it is possible that tools will become contaminated with oil or grease. It is therefore
important that tools are cleaned and degreased following any maintenance operation,
especially if the same tools are subsequently used with an Oxygen System. When the tools
come into contact with possible bacteria contaminated parts (e.g. if the bacterial filters were
ruptured), they must be sterilised after completion.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down and is
depressurized.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress - do not start" shall be attached to
the starting equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure
that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be
affixed to the remote starting equipment.
7. Close the dryer air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a pipe.
