MIL'S ANAESTIVAC 1 Manual De Funcionamento página 47


Use cleaning products with care; they may be toxic and inflammable.

The welding of parts onto the machine may damage mechanical and electrical elements. This sort of
operation should not be carried out without consulting the manufacturer. Any disregard for this rule
automatically nullifies the manufacturer's guarantee.

For your safety and to avoid your own liability, only use MIL'S parts when replacing malfunctioning or
broken down items.

The immediate superior should be notified of all maintenance or testing operations on the equipment.

During all maintenance operations the work area must be clearly delimited by white lines. At night, the
area should be adequately lit.

The lifting points are indicated by the or
During lifting operations, the machine must not be hoisted from any other point.

If the machine has to be hoisted and moved for siting or maintenance operations, check that adequate
lifting gear is used and familiarise yourselves with all the safety regulations surrounding the lifting of
machinery.

Under no circumstances should the machinery be needlessly suspended (during meal breaks, outside
working hours, etc.)

Following any work or repair on a machine function, carry out a check to see that this function has been
rectified before using the machine.
1.8. Planning maintenance operations
Many accidents can be avoided by organising maintenance operations. The supervisor must be clear about the
tasks to be carried out and the possible risks involved. He should draw up a maintenance plan and explain it to
all the people concerned so as to limit the risk of accidents.
The following pointers should be taken into account (non-exhaustive list):
 Which team members are needed for the work and what are their responsibilities?
 What is the weight of the load that may have to be lifted?
 What tooling is required for the job and how is it to be conveyed to the work area?
 What equipment is required to lift the equipment in absolute safety?
1.9. Electricity

The supply voltage must not vary by more than 10%.

An appropriate thermal relay is required for approved connection. The safety trip rating of the motor must
equal the motor rating given on the manufacturer's plate.

After connecting the motor or after each reconnection use a phase indicator to check the direction of
rotation of the motor.

The machine must be powered down whenever an electrical component is replaced.

Before carrying out electrical connections on the machine, check that the voltage and supply frequency
prevailing in the country of usage are identical to the operating voltage of the machine.

The electricians commissioned to set up the machine are entirely responsible for the sizing of the electricity
supply cable as well as all external cabling.

The electrical connection of the machine must be carried out by a qualified electrician in compliance with
regulations prevailing in the country where the machine is in use.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
pictogram.

Before carrying out any breakdown repairs or servicing, the machine must be partially or totally isolated
and taken out of service.

Any person carrying out servicing or breakdown repairs on a powered machine, must be qualified and
suitably skilled to carry out such operations within that context.

The machine must be partially taken out of service to prevent any other person starting it up.

In the case of an electrical power cut or the tripping of a safety device, automatic restart of the machine
must be disabled under all circumstances.

Do not carry out any electrical connection or disconnection without knowledge of the circuitry. A faulty
connection may cause personal injury or damage.

Never wear any rings, bracelets or any other metallic object likely to earth a powered circuit, thereby
causing burns.

Following any work or repair on a machine function, check that this function has been rectified before
using the machine.

If maintenance operations are carried out on the machine while powered up, sparks may be produced on
the electrical circuit. Do not work in confined areas in the presence of inflammable material, dust or vapour
which could cause explosions or fires. Failure to observe this rule could result in personal or fatal injury.
1.10. Fluids

A vacuum pump must be connected to suction piping without any mechanical stress. You are
recommended to install flexible piping between the pump and the installation.

A compressor, wherever possible, should be connected up for use by a pressure resistant flexible hose.

The suction pressure of vacuum pumps must never exceed atmospheric pressure.

The cross-section of vacuum pump exhaust lines must be at least as great as that of the pump connection
hole. Too small a diameter on the line may create unacceptable pressure in the pump.

No part of the casing should be exposed to vacuum or pressure.

Do not start a vacuum pump running if its exhaust lines are blocked or constricted. Before starting the
pump, check that the exhaust line is open and that it is free of any deposit that may have built up inside it.

The choice of pipe materials should be appropriate for the process fluid.
