instructions and descriptions in the general maintenance instructions.
Have work influencing explosion protection performed by the manufacturer or by a specialist
workshop for electrical machinery authorized by the manufacturer. This includes the
following operations, for example:
● Repairs to the stator or rotor windings and to the terminals
● Repairs to the ventilation system
● Repairs to the bearings
● Dismantling machines with flameproof enclosures
● Connection work performed in the terminal box

Risk of explosion as a result of inadmissible repair work
Repairs are only permissible within the scope of the work described in these operating
instructions. Otherwise an explosion can occur in an explosive atmosphere. This can result
in death, serious injury or material damage.
● For repairs to go beyond this scope, please contact the Service Center.
Explosion hazard due to increased surface temperature
Components within the motor may be hotter than the maximum permissible surface
temperature for the enclosure. In an explosive atmosphere, dust can ignite and an explosion
occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Do not open the motor in an explosive and dusty atmosphere when it is still at normal
operating temperature.
● Allow the machine to cool down before opening it.
