General SafetyInstructions
IMPORTANT:THE FOLLOWING SAFETYPRECAUTIONS MUST BE READAND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE
REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE WORK IS ATTEMPTED.
General
Beware ofthe following danger areaswithin the dryer :
a) Any rotating components(fan etc.)
b) Sharp edges(coil fins, etc.)
c) Hot refrigeration pipework
d) Possible live electricalcomponentsor terminals
The refrigeration and compressed aircircuitscan operate at high pressuresand unauthorised tampering
may cause injury or damage.
Discharge fromthe condensate drain will contain oil, and therefore should be disposed ofsafely.
Do not place either temporary or permanent loadson or against the unit.
Mechanical
The dryer shall be fully disconnected or isolated fromthe compressed air supply and any remaining pressure
released safely.
The refrigeration circuitshall be fullyemptied ofgassafelyBEFORE work isattempted on any associated
components.Refrigerant gasmay be toxicand/or harmful(burns-both hot and cold), therefore usethe
necessary protective equipment (such asgogglesand gloves) at all timeswhen emptying the system,
Ifany heat or flameisto be used on or near the unitcare shall be taken to avoidcontact with combustible
surfaces.Furthermore, itshouldbe noted that the insulation materialsand refrigerant might giveoff toxic
fumeswhen heated. Whenever heat or flameisused the working area shall be thoroughlyventilated
BEFORE and DURING thisoperation. Proper fire precautionsshall be observed and the necessary fire
safety equipment on hand, typicalfor electrical, oil and foamfires,
The refrigerant used isrefrigerant R134a or R407C. No other type ofrefrigerant or mixture shall be used.
Ifrecharging or adding refrigerant to the unitensure correct refrigerant and oil are used, check labelson
compressor identifying refrigerant being used.
Ester oilsused insystemswith R134a &R407C are very hygroscopic(adsorb moisture very quickly),
therefore care shouldbe taken to ensure that the systemsand any ester oil containersare not leftopen to
atmosphere for any length oftime.
Ifany oil isremoved fromthe systemitshall be disposed ofsafely. Do not re-useor usefor any other
purpose.
When working on the dryersbeware ofany rotating componentsand any hot refrigerant pipework.
Observe any safety labelsfitted to variouspartsofthe dryer.
Electrical
The dryersare designed to operate onlyon a220/240 volt, 1phase, 50-60 Hz liveneutraland earth supply.
THE EARTH CONNECTION MUST NEVER BE OMITTED. The voltage tolerance for each modelisshown
on the respective wiring diagramin thisManual.
The dryer must be fully isolated fromthe supply BEFORE maintenance work isstarted.
The dryer MUST NOT be used on other supplieswithout prior approvalfromthe manufacturer.
The dryer should only be used in a SAFE (i.e. non- hazardous) area.
Observe any electricalsafety labelsfitted to variouspartsofthe dryer.
Solenoid coilsshould not be removed fromvalve stemuntil they have been electrically disconnected.
