22 Safety instructions

General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance

These instructions are for all personnel who do work on the drive.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to
the equipment can occur.
• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect the
drive from dust, debris and moisture.
• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toe
cap, safety glasses, protective gloves and long sleeves, etc. Some parts have
sharp edges.
• Lift a heavy drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See
the dimension drawings.
• Be careful when handling a tall module. The module overturns easily because
it is heavy and has a high center of gravity. Whenever possible, secure the
module with chains. Do not leave an unsupported module unattended especially
on a sloping floor.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power
semiconductors, and brake resistors, remain hot for a while after disconnection
of the electrical supply.
• Vacuum clean the area around the drive before the start-up to prevent the
drive cooling fan from drawing dust inside the drive.
• Make sure that debris from drilling, cutting and grinding does not go into the
drive during installation. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive can
cause damage or malfunction.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See the technical data.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that all covers are in place.
Do not remove the covers when voltage is connected.
