General safety instructions
1. Ensure that maintenance work is only carried out by appropriately trained
persons.
2. Ensure that setting work, malfunction rectification and repair is only carried
out by specialists or appropriately trained persons.
3. Prior to maintenance or repair work:
– Switch off the main switch.
– Secure main switch against unintentional switch-on.
– Check to ensure that all parts are currentless.
– Disconnect the compressor from the compressed air network (relieve
or block pressurized lines).
4. Exercise extreme caution during repair or maintenance work requiring
the compressor to be operational.
Ensure that persons keep out of reach of the hazardous area.
5. Ensure that work on the electrical equipment is only executed by quali-
fied electricians.
6. Work on parts and devices under current is prohibited. Exceptions are
governed by the appropriate regulations, e.g. DIN VDE 0105.
7. Only use original spare parts, compressor oils and operating
materials released by BOGE during repair or maintenance.
8. The operator is responsible to check the compressor daily for externally
visible damage and defects, and to immediately report any changes
(including operational behaviour).
9. When the automatic restart (Auto-Restart) is activated, the compressor
will start automatically following a voltage loss.
Prerequisite: The net pressure is lower than the set switch-on pressure.
The owner of a compressor plant is responsible to ensure that it is properly
installed, operated and maintained.
Prior to commissioning, owners in the Federal Republic of Germany urgently
have to read the currently valid regulations of the Main Association of the
Industrial Employers' Liability Insurance. Apart from other regulations par-
ticularly the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) is appli-
cable.
The regulations are available at the following locations:
Berufsgenossenschaft (Industrial Employers' Liability Insurance)
Carl-Heymanns-Verlag KG, Luxemburger Straße 449, D-50939 Köln
Beuth Verlag GmbH, Burggrafenstraße 6, D-10787 Berlin
For operation of the compressor plant outside the Federal Republic of Ger-
many, the accident prevention regulations of the country, where the com-
pressor is operated, must be observed in addition to the data contained in
these operating instructions.
In the event that measures are required above and beyond the legal regula-
tions specified in the Federal Republic of Germany or the data contained in
these operating instructions, then it is of utmost importance that these be
carried out prior to commissioning the compressor plant.
