Safety Information
This motor, its attachments and accessories must only be
used for the purpose for which they were designed.
For product liability and safety reasons any modification to
the motor or its accessories, which may have an influence on
the product liability, must be agreed upon by the technical
authority of the manufacturer.
To prevent personal injury and long term risks:
• If the motor is ATEX-certified, filter/silencers must be
installed at the motor outlet ports.
Silencers are recommended also for other applications to
reduce noise exposure.
• Disconnect the motor from the air line before any adjust-
ment operation.
• Mind your hands, hair and clothing – always keep
well away from rotating parts.
Overhaul
The air motor must be deactivated and inspected whenever
there is the slightest indication of a fault. The service interval
will vary, depending on motor speed and air quality. The first
vane inspection should be carried out after 500 hours' run-
ning time. Inspect wear and tear of the vanes via the outlet
port. If the vane's tapered part appear to be worn, we recom-
mend service of the motor.
Maintenance
Maintenance and repairs of this ATEX product must be car-
ried out exclusively by authorised personnel, after which a
no-load test and temperature measurements of hotspots (as
seen in the figure) must be carried out and recorded in a re-
port.
After a 5 min no-load test the surface temperature must not
exceed the sum of 45°C + surrounding temperature, where
the surrounding temperature can vary up to max 40°C.
