2.1 Warning symbols
Warning symbols are used in this manual to draw attention to potentially dangerous situations:
Information that warns you of a potential risk of personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
Warning stickers (see Figure 2.1) are affixed to the filter to warn personnel and act as reminders
to keep hands and fingers away from the filter’s moving parts.
2.2 CE marking
Figure 2.1
This equipment is CE marked (see Figure 2.2), which guarantees that the equipment is designed,

Figure 2.2
2.3 Conversion
The CE marking does not extend to any components that are not approved by Hydrotech AB and
that are used in conversion/reconstruction of the equipment. The warning symbols and CE marking must be attached where they are fully visible. If any part of the equipment with a warning
symbol is replaced, a new symbol must be attached in the same position. Damaged symbols and
CE markings must be replaced immediately.
In order to avoid personal injuries and damage to the equipment, service and maintenance may
only be carried out by personnel that are trained on the equipment and conversant in local regulations. Service and maintenance personnel may only handle those parts of the equipment they
have been trained for. The operator may need to work inside the safety barrier and in the safety
zone during maintenance and set-up before operation.
2.5 Emergency stop
The filter is equipped with a main power
switch (see Figure 2.3). To perform an emergency stop, turn the main power switch to the
OFF (0) position. In the event of a power failure, turn the main power switch to the OFF
(0) position to prevent the filter drum from
unintentionally rotating once the power is restored.
2.6 Electrical safety
Electrical installation must be carried out by
a qualified electrician and in accordance with
local regulations. Also see Appendix D. The filter tank or the frame must be connected to
ground. Also see section 5.4. The main power
switch/emergency stop must be fitted in accordance with applicable regulations.

Safety guards are fitted around the power transmission and in front of the support wheels.
Always make sure these are secured and correctly fitted.
The aerosols from the backwash water may contain harmful substances.
Measured noise levels from the filter are less than 74 dB (A). Personnel should use appropriate
protection, when necessary, in accordance with local regulations.
The filter type, serial number and year of manufacture are stated on the identification plate. The
filter type and serial number are also stated on the front of this manual.
Once the equipment has been delivered and received it must be thoroughly checked for transport damage. Document any transport damage before further handling of the equipment. The
consignment note, manual and spare part kit are attached to the equipment. Check all parts
against the consignment note. Some parts may be delivered unassembled. Handle fragile parts
with care. Before lifting the equipment, see section 4.3.
4.2 Storage
Some precautions must be taken to prevent damage to equipment if a long storage time is necessary (several weeks or more):
⊲ The equipment should preferably be stored indoors, in a frost-free area.
⊲ The filter must be protected against direct sunlight if stored outdoors. Heat and UV radiation
can damage the filter elements.
⊲ If the filters are delivered in plastic-covered wooden crates, a special type of corrosion may
occur if stored outdoors, especially in coastal areas. The moisture inside the plastic acts as an
anode and the exposed dry components as a cathode. In these areas, the filters must therefore
be unpacked immediately upon delivery.
4.3 Liing the equipment
⊲ A forklift truck with long forks should
be used when lifting filters in wooden
crates.
⊲ An unpacked filter with tank (type 1)
can be lifted with a fork lift truck, standard crane or with an overhead crane
with lifting straps.
⊲ An unpacked filter without tank (types
2 & 3) can be lifted with a standard crane
or overhead crane and lifting straps. The
straps are positioned as set out in
12
The work area must be cordoned off before unloading in accordance with local regulations to prevent unauthorised access.
