Safety

NOTICE

Hazard: Clutch friction-surface wear increasing the clearance between the armature assembly and the rotor assembly beyond 0.5 mm

Consequence: Operation failure or suction failure of the clutch/brake assembly (equipment/operation only — no injury stated in source)

Avoidance: Check the clearance during inspection. If it exceeds 0.5 mm, do not continue to run the assembly or attempt to service the clearance in the field — return the clutch/brake assembly (VEP 0.6-01) to Nasu Operations.

NOTICE

Hazard: Excessive force applied to the brake release lever while using it to release the brake after a power failure or electrical problem

Consequence: The release lever is deformed or damaged and the brake can no longer be released with it (equipment only — no injury stated in source)

Avoidance: Do not apply an excessive force to the release lever. Before turning the system power back ON, confirm that no force is still applied to the release lever.
