Safety Features
Safety engineering is an integral part of Scheidt & Bachmann’s designs. Maintenance technicians must perform maintenance and repair in accordance with
industry safety standards including MSHA, OSHA, and other Federal, State, and
Local codes and regulations.
Close attention to proper safety precautions is of the utmost importance. Components should be installed, maintained, and repaired only by trained, qualified
personnel using reasonable care. Improper installation, maintenance, or repair
procedures may damage the device or cause serious personal injury or death.
The following pages provide detailed information on safety precautions that
must be observed when working on AFC Systems. This information should be
carefully read and thoroughly understood before performing routine maintenance or attempting to troubleshoot or repair the device.
It is the responsibility of the maintenance agency to ensure that the safety
instructions in this manual are read, understood, and implemented by properly
trained maintenance and service technicians. All other persons who work with
the internal systems of any AFC systems should also be trained in safety.
1.4General
Safety Guide
This chapter provides the technician with the safety information necessary to
avoid personal injury or equipment damage. Only qualified, trained technicians
using reasonable care should perform maintenance or repair. As with any
mechanical system, the AFC components can pose certain safety hazards. The
following guidelines must be followed when working on the mechanical systems
of any AFC Systems or Components.
Only competent, qualified technicians trained by Scheidt & Bachmann should
service this device.
Service technicians must read and understand all operating and service
instructions.
Turn electrical power off before opening any electrical enclosure.
Do not operate the device with the cover of any enclosure, or the guard or
covers over any mechanism, removed.
Due consideration should be given to any safety regulation applicable to the
particular location in which the device is operating.
Do not turn on power to the device when components are disconnected.
The device must not be used for any purpose other than that for which it was
designed and approved by Scheidt & Bachmann.
When servicing or repairing the device, all device control panels must be
tagged in compliance with OSHA Lockout/Tag out procedures to indicate that
the device should not be operated.
The technician should use care when working with solvents and other cleaning
agents that may be abrasive or have a tendency to cause irritation to the skin or
eyes. Read all labels carefully and follow instructions for the use of gloves when
working with chemical fluids.
When using cleaning agents such as fluids or pressurized air, safety glasses
must be worn to prevent eye damage.
1.6Special Tools There are no special tools required to ensure the safety of the service techni-
cian. However, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge: see paragraph 1.7.8) protection is
required for all procedures involving contact with electrostatic sensitive printed
circuit boards. The use of a standard ESD Safety Wrist Strap is required when
working with electrostatic sensitive printed circuit boards.
