HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
KMW150CCD Version 1
USER MANUAL KMW150CCD Chiller v1.1.doc Page 1
1. Health and Safety Information
1.1 General
In normal operation the system is designed to operate safely. All users of the KMW150CD water
chiller unit should be aware of potential hazards which exist in and around equipment of this type
and the ways of avoiding possible injury and equipment damage which may result from
inappropriate ways of working. A description of such potential hazards and how to avoid them is
given in this section.
This manual adopts the following convention:
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard which may result in injury or death
CAUTION
Indicates a potential hazard which may result in damage to equipment
Warning symbols on the equipment are:
Protective conductor terminal
Earth (ground) terminal
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
CAUTION
Refer to accompanying documents
See original manufacturers' manuals for further safety data on third party equipment supplied with
the system. A list of these is given in this manual.
WARNING
Do not take risks. You have a responsibility to ensure the safe
condition and safe operation of equipment.
1.2 Electrical Safety
In normal use the user is protected from the dangers associated with the voltage, current and power
levels used by the equipment. Only suitably qualified personnel should attempt to disconnect,
dismantle or modify the equipment.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
KMW150CCD Version 1
USER MANUAL KMW150CCD Chiller v1.1.doc Page 2
1.2.1 Potential Electrical Hazards
The following list is not intended as a complete guide to all the electrical hazards on the system, but
serves to illustrate the range of potential hazards that exist:
•electric shock
•electric burn
•fire of electrical origin
•electric arcing
1.2.2 Recommended Precautions
WARNING
All of the electrical equipment supplied as part of the system should
be provided with a protective ground. Do not remove protective
grounds as this may give rise to an electrical safety hazard. It is
vitally important that the system is properly grounded at all times.
Follow local and national electrical regulations and procedures.
Do not defeat interlocks, remove connectors, disconnect equipment,
open safety covers, dismantle or modify equipment unless you are
qualified and authorised to do so and you are fully conversant with its
operation and potential hazards or have total assurance through your
local electrical permit to work system that the equipment has been
made safe.
Make sure that the mains supply is fused at an appropriate rating and
that it can be isolated locally via a clearly labelled, clearly visible and
easily accessible isolating switch. Isolate the supply before carrying
out any maintenance work.
1.2.3 First Aid
A course in first aid to include methods of artificial respiration is recommended for those whose
work involves equipment which may produce a high voltage.
WARNING
Do not attempt to administer first aid to someone who may have
suffered electric shock until the source of the shock has been
isolated.
Mains voltages are present in the system. These can cause serious
injury or death.
Only personnel qualified and experienced to work with such currents
and voltages should perform service or maintenance work on this
equipment.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
KMW150CCD Version 1
USER MANUAL KMW150CCD Chiller v1.1.doc Page 3
1.3 Mechanical Handling Safety
WARNING
Lifting points are provided for safe handling of components and safe
handling practice must be observed to comply with local regulations.
Check that lifting points are used only for the job intended.
The system itself and some components are heavy and require
careful handling. Use safe lifting procedures for heavy items to
prevent possible strain injury.
1.4 Safe Mechanical Practice
In normal use personnel are not required to undertake mechanical work. However, servicing or
repair may necessitate access to any part of the system. Only suitably qualified personnel should
attempt to dismantle, modify or repair equipment.
Water connections should be made and tested in accordance with any local and national safety
regulations.
1.5 Moving Parts
There are a number of moving parts in the system which are powered by electric motors.
Warning
Injury could result if clothing or body parts become caught in moving
mechanisms.
Keep clothing, hands etc. away from moving mechanisms.
1.6 Modifications and Service
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for the safety; reliability or performance of the
equipment unless assembly operations, extensions, re-adjustments, modifications and repairs are
carried out only by persons authorised by the manufacturer. It should be stressed that those parts of
the equipment which are interchangeable, and which are subject to deterioration during operation,
may significantly affect the safety of the equipment.
