Safety
Please read the following information carefully before installing and using the
equipment.
Compressed air and gases can be EXTREMELY dangerous and MUST be treated
with extreme care.This equipment works at pressures up to 620 Bar (8990 psi) and
uses single and 3 phase electrical power.
REMEMBER: Nitrogen gas is an asphixiant Never breathe in gas escaping from the
system. Nitrogen gas is not poisonous, but can overcome a person in a confined
space.Always stay alert when venting Nitrogen gas.
REMEMBER: Don’t be fooled by the size of the high-pressure receiver. A 50 litre
receiver charged to 350 Bar contains the equivalent of 7500 liters of gas at
atmospheric pressure.
REMEMBER: Unlike hydraulic oil, gas is compressible, and will continue to expand
until the
pressures inside and outside the system equalize.
NEVER commence any maintenance or servicing work on the equipment without
ensuring that the system is depressurized.
NEVER adjust a pipefitting that is under pressure.
NEVER adjust a safety valve to achieve a lifting pressure higher than that set at the
Maximator factory. A safety valve is provided to prevent over pressurisation of the
system and
overloading of the compressor. Tampering with a safety valve can cause serious
damage or injury.
NEVER run the equipment without the guards it was supplied with.
NEVER re-use damaged fittings, especially if they rely on threads for security (i.e.
pipe fittings,
nuts, bolts etc).
NEVER attempt to straighten badly bent pipes
NEVER allow any part of your body or any person to be in front of an opening that is
venting gas.Particles from inside the system can become embedded in the skin and
cause serious injury or death.
ALWAYS take care when opening valves or venting the system, and open the valve
slowly.
ALWAYS isolate the electric power supply before commencing work on the system.
ALWAYS entrust electrical work to a qualified electrician.
ALWAYS comply with local, regional and national legislation
HAZARD
HP/HLP Mould Pipes are a trip hazard.
Always place away from routes where traffic is likely to damage them.
REMEMBER:
COMPRESSED GAS AND ELECTRICITY CAN KILL.
TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT.
