2Safety and responsibility

The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the failure to observe these
instructions and the related documents [➙ 5].

2.1 Explanation of warning signs

Warning sign Explanation
 DANGER Danger that failure to observe the measures could lead to
death or serious physical injuries.
 WARNING Danger that failure to observe the measures could lead to
death or serious physical injuries.
 CAUTION Danger that failure to observe the measures could lead to
minor physical injuries.
NOTICE Danger that failure to observe the measures could lead to
material damage.

2.2 Working in a safety-conscious manner

Work at a standstill and Work on running or energised vacuum pumps/compressors can lead to seri-
de-energised ous injuries due to body parts being drawn in or crushed or death due to
electric shock.
Work on the G-BH2 at a standstill only and in a de-energized condition.
1. Disconnect.
2. Secure it to prevent it from being switched back on.
3. Make sure that it is de-energised.
4. Earth it and short-circuit it.
5. Cover or block off adjacent parts which are still supplied with voltage.
Hot surfaces After decommissioning, contact with hot surfaces can lead to burns.
 Allow the G-BH2 to cool after shutting it down.

Improper repair Improper repair can lead to severe injuries due to damaged or incorrectly-
installed parts.
1. Follow the procedures for decommissioning described in the operating in-
structions.
2. Do not use striking tools if not specifically mentioned.
3. Do not damage parts to be reused while using tools.
4. Replace damaged parts.
5. Observe the assembly and start-up procedures described in the operating in-
structions before starting the device.
Changes, additions and Changes, additions and conversions may lead to unforeseeable risks and
conversions thus to serious injuries or death.
Changes, additions and conversions to the G-BH2 that are not described any-
where in the documentation must be authorised by the manufacturer.
Only use original parts or parts/auxiliary materials (grease, sealant) approved by
the manufacturer. Using other parts and auxiliary materials can lead to unforesee-
able hazards and may exempt the manufacturer from liability for the resulting con-
sequences.
Keep all notices attached to the G-BH2 in a clearly legible condition:
▪ Labelling of connections
▪ rotation arrows
▪ Rating plate
▪ Warning signs

ing the original accessories (except for the in-line filter, item X). Spring ele-
ments (item Y) and additional silencers (item Z) can be damaged during
transportation.
 Detach fitted in-line filter (item X), spring elements (item Y) and additional si-
lencers (item Z) before transportation of the G-BH2.

The 030 on the compressor cover (item Structure, G-BH2) must be placed hori-
zontally on the compressor foot before transportation (item 062, Structure).
1. Place the G-BH2 on a non-slip substructure.
2. Place the lifting strap between the compressor housing (item 002, Structure)
and foot around the motor (item 001, Structure).
3. Lift the G-BH2 until the lifting strap is taut.
4. Tilt the G-BH2 with two people on the compressor foot.

Transportation with a crane

1. Check that the lifting attachment is firmly fastened and retighten as neces-
sary.
2. Attach the crane hook to the lifting attachment.
3. Lifting and transporting the G-BH2.
4. Place the G-BH2 down and, if necessary, secure from slipping and falling.
5. Remove the crane hook after transportation.
