4.4 Structural changes, spare parts, accessories
For reasons of safety, remodelling and modifications to the
machine, in particular to the electrical devices, are only
permissible by arrangement with the manufacturer!
Replace faulty parts immediately. Only use original spare parts or
spare parts from other manufacturers, which correspond, to the
original spare parts with regards to function, stress and safety.
This applies in particular for reasons of EMC (electro-magnetic
compatibility) for electrical components.
The use of unsuitable parts can impair resistance to rays and
increase the emission of rays!
If parts are replaced which are relevant for safety, they must be
checked afterwards for proper functioning.
Only use accessories, which have been approved by the
manufacturer. Use of accessories can change work with the
machine. You must therefore observe the additional advice for
your work and your safety. Read Part B: Accessories, before you
commission the machine.
4.5 Operation manuals from other manufacturers
Integrated in the machine are systems from other manufacturers.
When working on or with these systems, please observe the
advice in the operation manuals from the respective manufacturer.
These operation manuals are enclosed with the machine
documentation.

4.6 Noise levels and noise control measures
The SG600 series shredder standard design is without a sound
proof enclosure.
The noise level of the shredder at idle speed is approximately
85 dB(A).
Especially by rigid materials soundproofing is recommended due
to a noise level of up to 100 dB(A) when in operation.
In order not to exceed the noise level of 85 dB(A) isthe purchaser
required to provide soundproofing.
The noise level can be affected by foundation static or dynamic,
aux. blowers etc. orother additional equipment. Therefore, it is
necessary to actually determine if the noise level isdirectly coming
from the machine or accessory equipment.
VIRTUS EQUIPMENT offers the following equipment to reduce
the noise levels;
Two piece soundproof box (one piece stationary, one piece
moveable) also available with soundproof hopper.
Walk-in type soundproof enclosure.
CAUTION
The user or purchaser is responsible for compliance with
the instructions and procedures!
4.7 Work stations
During normal operation, the work station is the station at the in
feed of the grinding material.
For maintenance work, the whole area around the machine is at
your disposal.
