Safety instructions
1. Safety instructions
STEPHAN machines are constructed for effective and safe use in the food and processing in-
dustry.
Conditions for the successful and safe operation of these machines are that:
· The machine is installed and commissioned only by appropriately trained personnel.
· The enclosed operation and maintenance instructions for the machine are followed exactly
and maintained under all circumstances.
· Any person working with the machine should be thoroughly acquainted with the health and
safety instructions.
1.1 Correct usage
· STEPHAN machines are intended for mechanical and industrial manufacture of products ac-
cording to the procedures indicated and the specifications detailed for the machine and periph-
eral equipment supplied.
the following are not permitted:
· Operation and maintenance of the machine by unauthorised and not properly trained person-
nel.
· Inappropriate or improper use of the machine.
· Alteration of safety devices such as switches, locks, covers, guards, seals etc., or making
them inoperative.
· Contravention of local safety and accident prevention regulations.
1.2 Explanation of symbols and signs
A number of signs are used in these operating instructions which must be observed under all
circumstances in order to avoid risks to personnel and machines.
These signs have the following symbols:
DANGER
Sign which, when ignored, can lead to injury.
WARNING
Sign which, when ignored, can lead to damage to the machine.
NOTE
Notes and advice on working with the machine.

Safety instructions
1.3 General working safety
Improper operation of the machine can lead to personal injury, damage to the machine and
interruptions to the production process.
The management responsible must therefore ensure that operating personnel are properly
trained and that only qualified and authorised personnel work on machine.
1.4 Operation
Operators must be thoroughly trained in handling the machine and its processes.
SAFETY LOCKING DEVICES
Mechanical and electrical safety devices located on the cover and in the discharging
and emptying area prevent anyone from reaching into the machine while it is run-
ning. These safety devices must under no circumstances be made inoperative.
OILS, LUBRICANTS AND COOLANTS
Some of these agents endanger personal health and the environment. Only materi-
als recognised as being physiologically safe should be used. Selection and use of
these materials depends entirely on the management, although STEPHAN can
make recommendations with respect to the materials used.
PRESSURE VESSEL REGULATIONS
If pressure vessels are installed, they are subject to regular inspections according to
the pressure vessel regulations. If necessary, the vessel may need to be tested in
the location where the machine is to be installed. All inspection certificates must be
stored carefully. All working and inspection instructions in the pressure vessel regu-
lations must be observed.
SAFETY VALVE
If the STEPHAN machine works with overpressure, the safety valve is protected in
the works so that the permissible pressure cannot be exceeded. The valve is fitted
with a lead seal so that the release pressure cannot be adjusted. Manipulating the
valve can lead to fatal injuries. Removal of the lead seal also invalidates the guar-
antee.Material drained from the safety valve must be disposed of properly and safe-
ly.
SAFETY AWARENESS
- Management must ensure that operating and maintenance personnel are thor-
oughly acquainted with all safety instructions and that all safety instructions are ac-
tually observed. The operating instructions should be readily available for reference
in the workplace.
- All working procedures which reduce safety at the machine must be avoided.
- Operators are obliged to announce at once every alteration to the machine which
reduces its safety.
- The machine's safety can be reduced by:
* reconfiguration or alteration of the machine
* use of accessories other than those provided by STEPHAN- use of non-original re-
placement and wearing parts
CONCEALED KNIVES, CUTTING RINGS, FEED SCREWS, ETC.
Do not reach into full or partially full machine bowls or funnels, as there is risk of in-
jury from concealed sharp-edged cutting tools and machine parts.

Safety instructions
1.5 Maintenance and repairs
All maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by specially trained personnel..
1.6 Service and guarantee
TECHNICAL LIMITING VALUES
Observe the limiting values for the technical machine data specified.
PLACING THE MACHINE OUT OF OPERATION
- Switch off the main switch before maintenance and repair work to prevent it from
being switched on inadvertently. This applies to all work on the switch cabinet and
peripheral units.
- For steam installations the steam supply must be switched off and must be secured
before re-starting. The machine and all pipelines must be depressurised.
- For hydraulic systems with an accumulator the system must be depressurised at
the accumulator release valve.
- For pneumatic systems, the system must be depressurised and the stop valve
closed.
ELECTRIC SYSTEMS
All electrical work must only be carried out by qualified electricians. The general and
specific accident prevention regulations must be observed during electrical repair
work.
SAFETY DEVICES
When dismantling safety devices for repair and maintenance work, the machine
must be placed out of operation. The safety devices must be connected again im-
mediately after completion of repair and maintenance work and checked for perfect
operation.
COMMISSIONING
The operation of the safety devices must be checked before commissioning the ma-
chine.
It should be checked that the work tools are properly attached and that there are no
foreign bodies in the machine, as loose parts in the machine can damage the work
tools and motor shaft
MOTOR PROTECTION IP 54 AND SWITCH CABINET PROTECTION IP54
Washing the motor or switch cabinet with pressurised water or cleaning agent is not
permitted.
INVALIDATION OF GUARANTEESTEPHAN
will accept no responsibility or guarantee claims for damage caused by:
· not observing the operating instructions,
· improper operation and maintenance of the machine and its peripheral equipment,
· technical and functional modifications carried out without consulting STEPHAN,
· use of parts other than original STEPHAN parts and accessories,
· disconnecting, dismounting or otherwise making safety devices inoperative.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
A stock of the most important replacement and wearing parts at the machine's loca-
tion is important for its continual operation.
ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
STEPHAN require the following information to process replacement parts orders:
· machine type from the cover of the operating instructions
· machine number from the machine type plate[e.g. K 720.000]
· order numberin the replacement parts list in the operating instructions
This information avoids the need for any further questions from our Service Depart-
ment and speeds up delivery.
We will be pleased to assist you with any questions on your machine
