Safety Safety Unsafe practices and other important information are emphasized in this manual. Warnings are emphasized by means of special signs. All warnings in the manual are summarised on this page. Pay special attention to the instructions below so that serious personal injury and/or damage to the Agitator are avoided.
Always support the shaft adequately, to protect shaft and bearings. Never expose the Agitator to undue vibrations or shocks. Ensure control for oil leakage on gears with vent screw. Ensure correct rotation direction of impeller before start-up and after any maintenance. Page 6 Classified by Alfa Laval as: Business...
Always have the Agitator connected to power supply by authorized personnel. Note: Alfa Laval highly recommends installing motor protection guard and a soft starter, or a frequency converter, with a ramp up and down time about 2-7 sec. to the Agitator.
