1.2 General safety precautions



WARNING

Improper use of the unit can result in serious or even fatal injuries!

These operating instructions

 must have been read completely and

understood before beginning any work with or at the pump-motor unit,

 must be strictly observed,  must be available at the operating location of

the pump-motor unit.



WARNING

Improper use of the unit can result in serious or even fatal injuries!

Only operate the pump-motor unit

 for the purposes indicated under "Intended

Use"!

 with the fluids indicated under 'Intended Use'!  with the values indicated under 'Technical

Data'!



WARNING

Improper use of the unit can result in serious or even fatal injuries!

All work on and with the pump-motor unit (transport, installation, operation, shut-down, maintenance, disposal) may only be carried out

by trained, reliable expert personnel!

Safety



WARNING

When working on the unit, there is a danger of injury, e.g. in the form of cuts/cutting off, crushing and burns!

During all work on and with the pump-motor unit (transport, installation, operation, shut-down,

maintenance, disposal) wear personal safety

equipment (safety helmet, protective gloves, safety shoes)!



WARNING

Hair and clothing can be pulled into the unit or caught and wound up moving parts!

Do not wear long, loose hair or wide, loose clothes! Use a hair net!



DANGER

Electrical danger!

Work on electrical installations may be carried out by trained and authorized electricians only!



DANGER

Electrical danger!

Before beginning work on the unit or system, the following measures must be carried out:

 Deenergize.  Secure against being switched on again.  Determine whether deenergized.  Ground and short-circuit.  Cover or block off adjacent energized parts.



DANGER

Electrical danger!

Do not open the motor terminal box until absence of electricity has been ensured!



WARNING

Danger due to vacuum and gauge pressure: sudden escape of fluids (skin and eye injuries), sudden drawing in of hair and clothing!

Danger due to escaping fluid: Burns!

Use mounting elements, connections, lines, fittings and containers with sufficient freedom from leaks and strength for the pressures which occur.

Check the mounting elements, connections, lines, fittings and containers for strength, leaks and firm seating at regular intervals!



WARNING

Danger from rotating parts (external fan, impeller, shaft): Cutting/cutting off of extremities, Grasping/winding up of hair and clothing!

Danger due to vacuum and gauge pressure: sudden escape of fluids (skin and eye injuries), sudden drawing in of hair and clothing!

Danger due to escaping fluid: Burns!

Start-up

and operation only under the following

conditions:

 The pump-motor unit must be completely

assembled. When doing so, pay particular attention to the following components:

– the vacuum pump/compressor cover, – the muffler on inlet and discharge

connections,

– the fan guard.

 The pipes/hoses must be connected to inlet

and discharge connections.

 Inlet and discharge connections and the

connected pipes/hoses may not be closed, clogged or soiled.

 Check the mounting elements, connections

of the pipe/hose connections, lines, fittings and containers for strength, leaks and firm seating at regular intervals.



WARNING

Danger from rotating parts (external fan, impeller, shaft): Cutting/cutting off of extremities, Grasping/winding up of hair and clo thing!

Danger due to vacuum and gauge pressure: sudden escape of fluids (skin and ey e injuries), sudden drawing in of hair and clothing!

Danger due to escaping fluid: Burns!

Before beginning work on the pump-motor unit

take the following measures:

 Shut down pump-motor unit and secure

against being switched on again.

 Attach a sign on the system controller and on

the control elements for the pump-motor unit: "DANGER! Maintenance work on vacuum pump/compressor! Do not switch on!"

 Wait for pump-motor unit to come to a

complete stop. Observe run-on time!

 Allow pump-motor unit to cool!  Shut-off lines. Release pressure.  Make sure that no vacuum or gauge pressure

is present in the lines/tanks to be opened.

 Make sure that no fluids can escape.

Safety



WARNING

Danger from rotating impeller: Cutting/cutting of off extremities!

The rotating impeller is accessible with the inlet and discharge connections open!

Do not reach into the unit through open connections!

Do not insert objects into the unit through the openings!



WARNING

Danger from rotating impeller: Cutting/cutting of off extremities!

The rotating impeller is accessible with the inlet and discharge connections open!

With free entry and exit of gases, i.e. with direct intake out of or direct feeding into the atmosphere without piping, the following therefore applies:

Provide the inlet and discharge connections of the pump-motor unit either with additional mufflers or with additional piping of a sufficient length to prevent access to the impeller!



With increased switch-on frequency (6x per hour with equal pauses and operating times) or with increased gas inflow and ambient temperature, the excess temperature limit of the coil and the bearing can be exceeded. Consult the manufacturer when using under such conditions.

When operating the G-BH1, G-BH9 the limits listed in Chapter 3, "Technical Data", Pg. 7 ff. must always be complied with.

Foreseeable Misuse

It is prohibited

 to use the G-BH1, G-BH9 in applications other

than industrial applications unless the necessary protection is provided on the system, e.g. guards suitable for children's fingers;

 to use the device in rooms in which explosive

gases can occur if the G-BH1, G-BH9 is not expressly intended for this purpose;

 to extract, to deliver and to compress

explosive, flammable, corrosive or toxic fluids, unless the G-BH1, G-BH9 is specifically designed for this purpose;

 to operate the G-BH1 with values other than

those specified in Chapter 3, "Technical Data", Pg. 7 ff.

Any unauthorized modifications of the G-BH1, G-BH9 are prohibited for safety reasons.

The operator is only permitted to perform the maintenance and service work described in these operating instructions.

Maintenance and servicing work which goes beyond this may only be carried out by companies which have been authorised by the manufacturer (ask the service department for details).

These operating instructions apply only to pump-motor units with a standard design.
