    6 Maintenance Safety Rules for Inspection and Maintenance Service - General WARNING Danger to maintenance personnel can result from hazardous voltage operating mechanisms under spring pressure gas pressure in the pole columns -gas and its decomposition products falling and/or toppling parts and/or moving parts. Non-observance of warnings can result in death, severe personal injury and substantial property and environmental damage.
  • Page 87 6 Maintenance The following safety regulations provide an overview of the dangers existing and their sources, and describe the possible consequences if the rules specified are not complied with. They are expressed more exactly in the operating instructions. Hazardous voltage - Electric shock and burning as a result of arcing are possible if live parts are approached.
  • Page 88 Local environmental protection regulations must always be taken into account when SF is disposed of. In special cases regarding SF disposal, the nearest Siemens office should be contacted. Thoroughly clean face, neck, arms and hands with soap and plenty of water before breaks and at the end of work.
