Hazard by electric power
Fatal injury may be caused by electric power but avoided by the following measures:
• Only qualified electricians or other suitably qualified staff may work on the power sup-
ply.
• The power equipment of the mobile electric heating must be checked regularly. Any
loose connections or damaged cables and wires shall be removed immediately.
• Pull the mains plug before working on the power equipment of the mobile electric
heating.
Danger by burns and scalds
Burns and scalds are very painful but can be prevented by the following measures:
• Only professional staff with special knowledge and experience in heating engineering
may work on heating facilities.
• Before commencing work, make sure with a temperature gauge that the temperature
in conduits outside of the device, in hose couplings and the automatic vent is less than
60 °C. If the temperature cannot be lowered, cover relevant parts with heat-resistant
cloth.
Danger of tripping or falling
Hoses, conduits and cables connected to the mobile electric heating may cause tripping
or falling. This can be prevented by the following measures:
• Apply any hoses, conduits and cables in such a way that they do not pose a risk. If this
is not possible, attach marks on the floor.
Dirt, leaked water or scattered objects may also cause slipping, tripping or falling. This
can be prevented by the following measures:
• Remove any dirt or leaked water after working on the mobile electric heating.
• Return scattered objects to their proper place or put them aside.
If the mobile electric heating is supposed to be brought into elevated or lower areas, the
hand cart may be obstructed by objects located in the way and tilt over. Prevent acci-
dents by providing for free access for the hand cart.
