The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related local work safety requirements and regulations.
• Maintenance must only be performed by authorised, trained and specialised personnel.
• Before maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the compressor, switch off the
voltage, press the emergency button and depressurise the compressor. In addition, the power insolating switch must
be opened and locked.
• Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
• All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
• A warning sign bearing a legend such as „Work in progress; do not start‟ shall be attached to the starting equipment.
• Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one
checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote start equipment.
• Close the compressor air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a pipe.
• Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources of pressure and relieve
the entire system of pressure.
• Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts and exposed
openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
• Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
• All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly. They may
not be put out of action.
• Always wear the following personal protective equipment: Work clothing, safety shoes, safety goggles, ear protection
and safety gloves when there is a cutting risk or a risk for a heat injury.

The safety guidelines are described in the instruction “Risk Assessment Z75-90VSD maintenance” with
