1. Safety and Operational Guidelines

DANGER

This symbol identifies situations that endanger people, property, and/or equipment. If such condition s

exist, the equipment must be shut down and all energy sources (electrical, gas, and pneumatic) mu st be disconnected, purged, and locked out until the problem is resolved.

Never attempt to bypass or defeat any safety device. Do not attempt to operate the equipment if any safety device is not functioning properly, or if any doubt exists about proper operation of safety devices.

The product described in this publication may operate at high speed and contain numerous moving parts. It may employ natural gas or propane, mechanical or pneumatic forces, and/or hazardous voltages, and may create other conditions that could, through misuse, abuse, unauthorized alteration or retrofitting, inattention, or lack of understanding, result in injury, death, or damage to the product or to other equipment. In addition, improper operation may also depreciate the value of the machine and other assets of the owner, and impair the working efficiency of the machine.

Energy Sources M&R equipment may use one of more of the following energy sources:

 Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy)  Electricity  Gas (Natural Gas or Propane)

Each form of energy presents its own unique hazards and requires appropriate precautions. Danger From Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy) Only qualified personnel should be allowed to work on pneumatic components or assemblies. Before work is

started on pneumatic components or assemblies, equipment should be disconnected from the air supply and all pneumatic lines should be purged to prevent accidental operation of pneumatic assemblies. All pneumatic pipe s and hoses should be checked frequently for damage and wear.

Danger From Electrical Energy Only qualified personnel should have access to electrical enclosures or work on electrical systems, and

enclosures should be locked when not in use. Electrical equipment should be checked regularly. WARNING Failure to follow safety and maintenance procedures or to take appropriate corrected action when required can

result in severe or fatal personal injuries, property damage, and/or damage to the equipment.

8. Replacement Parts

CE vs. UL Models

All equipment containing electrical components is designed to comply with either Conformance European (CE) or Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards, and each t ype of equipment has a different parts list. CE equipment runs at 50 Hz; UL equipment runs at 60 Hz. Electrical specifications, including Hertz, can be found on the Manufacturer’s Rating Plate similar to the one shown below.

Note: You must verify whether your equipment is 50 Hz (CE) or 60 Hz (UL) and order parts accordingly.

DANGER: Operating this equipment with incorrect electrical parts can result in severe or fatal personal injuries and/or property damage.

Schematic Diagrams for Electrical Parts M&R uses the ‘just-in-time’ approach to printing manuals, so the electrical parts and part numbers shown in this

section should be accurate. However, since schematic diagrams are unit-specific, they remain the most accurate source of electrical part numbers. Cross-reference the part numbers in this manual with the part numbers in the schematic diagrams in the back of this manual before placing an order.
