Operation of electrical equipment When electrical equipment is in operation, certain components of these appliances are electrically live. Follow the applicable operating and safety instructions when operating the devices and heed warnings at all times. MS150049/04E 2017-04 | Safety | 9...
1.5 Safety regulations for maintenance and repair work Safety regulations when preparing to perform maintenance and repair work Have maintenance or repair work carried out by qualified and authorized personnel only. Allow the product to cool down to less than 50 °C (risk of explosion for oil vapors, fluids and lubricants, risk of burning).
Page 11
Take special care when removing ventilation or plug screws from the product. Ensure that O-rings are not installed in a slanted/twisted condition. Carry out appropriate cleaning procedures to clean and inspect components requiring special cleanness (e.g. components carrying oil, fuel, or air). Note cooling time for components which are heated for installation or removal (risk of burning).
