Observe the IP protection class.
Cleaning work must not be performed on
conducting components.
Mark wet areas accordingly.
Always behave so as to avoid explosion
hazards.
A written work authorization from the
operator is required prior to initiating
work in potentially explosive atmo-
spheres. Unauthorized persons must be
kept away.
There must be no evidence that parts of
the explosion protection are missing or
non-functional. If this is not excluded,
switch off the machine and immediately
notify the supervisor.
Explosion protection measures must
never be deactivated, changed, or
bypassed.
The introduction of ignition sources such
as sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces
into potentially explosive atmospheres is
prohibited.

Shipping damage may lead to the loss of
explosion protection. If there is apparent
shipping damage, do not install or put
into operation the product.
All parts of the grounding concept must
be properly present and connected with
the main machine.
Handle materials in such a way that no
sparks may arise from tilting, dropping,
slipping, rubbing, or striking. If necessary,
cover materials by appropriate means.
Never disconnect plug-in connections
under electrical voltage. Secure plug-in
connections against disconnection by
hand using the provided locking clips.
The operator must critically examine
whether operation without an empty
signal results in a new hazard potential
(e.g., due to heating of bearings on the
machine being lubricated to the range
of the ignition temperature in case of
lubrication failure). If this cannot be reli-
ably excluded, an empty signal must be
provided or appropriate organizational
measures taken to monitor the tempera-
ture of the bearings.
Avoid / immediately remove any accu-
mulated dust. Accumulated dust has a
thermal insulating effect and promotes
the formation of a potentially explosive
atmosphere when agitated/swirled.
The product must be integrated into the
operators lightning protection scheme.
All parts must be inspected for corro-
sion on a regular basis. Replace affected
parts.
Junction boxes must be securely closed
and the cable glands properly sealed.
The lubricant’s ignition temperature has
to be at least 50 kelvin above the max.
permissible surface temperature.
Use only tools and clothing approved for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres
(ESD).
Transport/assembly/repairs and work on
electrical components may be performed
only if it is ensured that there is no explo-
sive atmosphere present.
Repairs or modifications may be per-
formed only by the manufacturer or a
workshop recognized by the manufac-
turer. If the work is not performed by the
manufacturer itself, the repair must be
accepted and approved in writing by a
recognized expert. The repair is marked
by a repair sign on the machine contain-
ing the following information:
