SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Batteries
When servicing batteries, always wear protecting
clothing and glasses.
1 The electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution
which is fatal if it hits your eyes, and which can cause
burns if it contacts your skin. Therefore, be careful
when handling batteries, e.g. when checking the charge
condition.
2 Install a sign prohibiting fire, open flame and smoking
at the post where batteries are being charged.
3 When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas
mixture forms in the cells and might escape through the
vent holes in the plugs. Thus an explosive atmosphere
may form around the battery if ventilation is poor, and
can remain in and around the battery for several hours
after it has been charged. Therefore:- never smoke near
batteries being, or having recently been, charged,-
never break live circuits at battery terminals, because a
spark usually occurs.
4 When connecting an auxiliary battery (AB) in parallel
to the unit battery (CB) with booster cables: connect
the + pole of AB to the + pole of CB, then connect the
- pole of CB to the mass of the unit. Disconnect in the
reverse order.
Pressure vessels
Maintenance/installation requirements:
1 The vessel can be used as pressure vessel or as
separator and is designed to hold compressed air for the
following application:
- pressure vessel for compressor,
- medium AIR/OIL,
and operates as detailed on the data plate of the vessel:
- the maximum working pressure ps in psi (bar),
- the maximum working temperature Tmax in °F (°C),
- the minimum working temperature Tmin in °F (°C),
- the capacity of the vessel V in l (US gal).
2 The pressure vessel is only to be used for the
applications as specified above and in accordance with
the technical specifications. Safety reasons prohibit
any other applications.
3 National legislation requirements with respect to re-
inspection must be complied with.
4 No welding or heat treatment of any kind is permitted
to those vessel walls which are exposed to pressure.
5 The vessel is provided and may only be used with the
required safety equipment such as manometer,
overpressure control devices, safety valve, etc.
6 Draining of condensate shall be performed daily when
vessel is in use.
7.
Installation, design and connections should not be
changed.
8.
Bolts of cover and flanges may not be used for extra
fixation.
Safety valves
All adjustments or repairs are to be done by an authorized
representative of the valve supplier (see also Preventive
Maintenance Schedule).
