Safety in Maintenance
The Flex-Flo System is designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, however, some repairs will be
necessary in the course of the life of the system. Do not attempt any repairs on the system unless you are
competent to do so. Remember that the Flex-Flo operates under automatic control and will start without
warning. Never attempt any work on the Flex-Flo System without first isolating the drive unit from
the main power and locking the isolator so that only you can turn the power back ON. Follow all
guidelines given in the maintenance section of this manual.
Before restarting the Flex-Flo System, make sure that all electrical enclosures are locked closed and all
guards and other safety measures are correctly fitted. If in any doubt, contact your dealer or the GSI group
for assistance.
Dust
Under normal working conditions little or no dust should be created by the Flex-Flo System. However,
some dust may be created, which may be harmful to your health if inhaled. To prevent this, wear a suitable
type dust mask.
Noise
Noise is not generally a hazard associated with the Flex-Flo System. Excessive noise may indicate a
problem with the machines. Tests on this machine indicate noise levels at a position one meter from the
drive unit and 1.6 meters above the ground do not exceed 70 dBa, continuous “A” weighted sound
pressure or 63 Pa, instantaneous “C” weighted sound pressure.
