 The system must be inspected for externally identifiable defects before it is started up each time. Any changes
that occur, including changes to the operating behavior and functional disruptions, must be immediately report-
ed to the competent party. The system must be immediately shut down and secured.
 Procedures for switching the machine on and off as well as inspection of the control indicators must be carried
out as described in the operating manual.
 Before switching on or starting up the machine, it must be ensured that no one will be endangered by the start-
ing up of the machine.
 The correct functioning of the controller must be checked before the start of work. Before startup, all tools and
assembly aids must be stored safely to prevent accidents.
 The maintenance, configuration and inspection activities and deadlines specified in the operating manual must
be complied with. The specified deadlines are maximum deadlines and may not be exceeded. Such work as
well as the replacement of components may only be performed by qualified personnel.
 During transport of the separator, measures must be taken to ensure sufficient securing of the transport area.
 The required switch-on and switch-off procedures according to the operating manual and the instructions for
maintenance work must be observed during all work involving the operation, production adaptation, conversion
or configuration of the system and its safety-related features as well as all work involving inspection, mainte-
nance and repair.
 The operating personnel must be informed of special work, repair work or conversion work in a timely fashion
prior to starting the work. A supervisor must always be appointed during the performance of such work.
 The work area must be blocked off and secured by a wide margin during such work, if necessary. Unauthor-
ized persons must be prevented from entering.
 As a rule, maintenance and cleaning work as well as repairs of malfunctions may take place only with the drive
switched off and the motor at rest (switch off and lock the main switch or disconnect the supply of electricity).
 Watch out for the unexpected starting of the system.
 It must be noted that a pressed EMERGENCY OFF button does not provide any protection against unauthor-
ized starting of the machine.
 During disassembly and assembly, large individual parts and entire assemblies must be carefully fastened and
secured to lifting equipment. Only suitable lifting equipment and load handling devices with sufficient carrying
capacity and no technical operating defects may be used. Standing or working under suspended loads is not
permitted. Grips, steps, railings, landings, platforms and ladders must be cleaned of oil, dirt, snow and ice be-
fore all activity on the system.
 If the BAUER separator is installed on an elevated platform, this must be equipped with a railing. The platform
should be sufficiently dimensioned to allow maintenance and service work.
 Any openings in the platform must be sufficiently secured against tripping or falling through.
 Access stairs must be equipped with hand rails in accordance with applicable regulations.
 If access stairs cannot be used due to tight space conditions, permanently mounted ladders with back protec-
tion must be used.
 Securing of personnel with suitable supporting elements is required during all maintenance work on an elevat-
ed system.
 During assembly work above head height, climbing aids and work platforms intended for such work or specially
adapted for purposes of safety must be used. Never use system components as climbing aids. The system
and, in particular, connections and bolt connections must be cleaned of oil, grease or care agents prior to the
start of maintenance or repair work. No aggressive cleaning agents may be used. Only fiber-free cleaning
cloths may be used.
 Before cleaning the system with water, steam, high-pressure cleaners or other cleaning aids, cover / tape over
all openings into which no water, steam or cleaning agents may enter for safety and/or functional reasons.
Electric motors and electronic switch cabinets are at particular risk. After cleaning, the applied covers / tape
must be completely removed again.
 Wear appropriate protective gear to protect against flying particles while cleaning with compressed air or steam
jets.
 After cleaning, all gear oil and media lines as well as all electrical connections must be inspected for leaks,
loosened connections, abrasions and damage. Identified defects must be corrected immediately.
 The bolt connections loosened during maintenance and repair work must be tightened again. Observe the re-
quired tightening torques.
