Explosion hazard due to increased surface temperature
Components within the motor may be hotter than the maximum permissible surface
temperature for the enclosure. In an explosive atmosphere, dust can ignite and an explosion
occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• Do not open the motor in an explosive and dusty atmosphere when it is still at normal
operating temperature.
• Allow the machine to cool down before opening it.
