STATIC ELECTRICITY

Use of this equipment in
a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Vapors from flammable
liquids can catch fire
or explode from static
electricity discharges.
Over pressurization of
equipment can cause
equipment failure or injury.
Use lubricating medium
resistant to carburisation.
Improper operation or
maintenance may create a
hazard.
SAFEGUARDS
1. If installing this equipment in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, check the ATEX equipment category and
temperature ratings meet the requirements for the
zoned area.
2. Check electrical continuity of the air supply to earth —
should be no greater than 10
3. Electrically bond all metallic equipment to earth.
Should be no greater than 1 .
1. Do not exceed the stated maximum working pressures
and motor speed as specified in this manual.
2. Only a suitably approved static dissipating or
conductive air supply hoses shall be attached to the
equipment and terminated to the air supply.
3. Air supplies (compressors, etc.) shall be sited in a non-
hazardous area with a filter on the air intake system to
prevent the ingress of dust or similar foreign material
into the parts where compression takes place.
4. Use lubricating medium resistant to carburisation and
has an auto ignition temperature of more than 185ºC
for T4 equipment.
5. User shall ensure all metallic parts of the equipment
are suitably bonded to earth. Should be no greater
than 1 .
