Find the right part number: rating plate and parts list

The item number in the list only refers to the drawing and is not the part number.

What the Machinery Regulations require of the marking

The Machinery Regulations (maskinforskriften) set requirements for how manufacturers mark their machines. They do not require the machine to have a serial number. The list of what the marking must contain says “serial number, if any”, and Arbeidstilsynet (the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority) writes that the regulations do not require machines to be fitted with a serial number for unique identification of the equipment.

Under Annex I, point 1.7.3, the marking must be legible and indelible. If the machine is designed for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere, this must be stated on the machine, and if a machine part has to be handled with lifting equipment, its mass must be marked. In all cases the marking must contain:

• the business name and full address of the manufacturer and, where applicable, the name and address of the authorised representative
• the designation of the machinery
• CE marking
• the designation of series or type
• the serial number, if any
• the year of construction, that is the year in which the manufacturing process was completed

The fields on the plate, model by model

This is what the operating manuals say about the plate:

• Husqvarna PG 280 and PG 400: model, nominal voltage, rated current, power output, frequency (Hz), grinding area, weight, year of manufacture and serial number, production number and the manufacturer's address.
• Husqvarna PG 450: including product number, serial number, model, year of manufacture and a scannable code.
• Husqvarna PG 680 and PG 820 with serial numbers from 2016: the year is clearly shown on the type plate, followed by the serial number.
• Husqvarna DC 3000: the operating manual shows the type plate as number 26 in the overview of the machine's components, but does not list the fields.
• Swepac TR 600E/750E/950E and TR 600P/750P/950P/1150P, and the vibrating hand screeds FBP/FBE, FBP-H and FBP-HP: manufacturer, place and country of manufacture, CE mark, model name, year of manufacture, max. engine power, max. weight, serial number and machine type.
• Gast's oil-free piston compressors and vacuum pumps: including voltage, rated current and wiring diagram.
• Jun-Air's oil-lubricated compressors: the operating manual refers to the “name plate” for the pressure tank data and to the motor plate for the nominal voltage.

Include the full model designation

Gast writes that the parts lists apply to the standard models. If you have an OEM model, Gast asks you to contact the factory. Gast also asks for the complete model and serial number, see Gast vacuum pumps and blowers.

A single letter or digit in the designation can mean a different part:

• In Gast's parts list for oil-free piston compressors and vacuum pumps, the safety valve has part number AS100E on model 1HAA, AS100G on 1HAB and AS100C on 1LAA.
• Magdrill Commando is available as the Commando 40/1 for 110 V and the Commando 40/3 for 230 V. In the parts list the armature has part number RD33610 for 110 V and RD33623 for 230 V.

Where to find the parts list

Some product pages have the parts list among the documents. Husqvarna PG 680 RC and Husqvarna PG 820 RC have their own spare parts lists, and the operating manual for the Magdrill Commando and the operation and maintenance manual for the Gast piston compressor include parts lists.

Search for the machine name or model designation on Find your machine. The search covers model number, name, brand and keywords as they appear in the catalogue, so check that the result has exactly the same designation as the plate. If the machine is not listed, parts sales will look it up for you.

How to read the spare parts list

In Rotabroach's parts lists the item number is under Item and the part number under Part No, in the Commando 40 list under Rotabroach P/N. Husqvarna's lists have the columns Ref and Part No. Gast's tables have the REF column and one column of part numbers per model, and refer to the exploded view on the opposite or next page. Copy the whole part number, with spaces, hyphens and suffix exactly as it appears in the list.

• The item number refers to the drawing. The operating manual for Rotabroach's Rhino 2 rail drill (RD07A), for example, says “Item 13, see diagram on page 24”.
• The same part can have different item numbers on different drawings. In the parts lists for the Rhino 2, the main housing RD3700 has numbers 1, 4 and 5.
• The same item number can have different part numbers in two lists. In Husqvarna's spare parts lists for the frame, number 14, chassis, is 593 35 58-01 in the list for the PG 820 RC (2015-02) and 588 27 22-01 in the list for the PG 680 RC (2016-04). The support wheel at number 17 differs only in the suffix: 588 09 18-01 and 588 09 18-02.
• In Gast's manual for the oil-free piston compressors and vacuum pumps, the parts included in the service kit are marked with ∆, and the kit has its own number. For models 1HAA, 1HAB and 1LAA it is K264. The marking is not the same in all Gast's manuals: in the manual for the Regenair blowers, ∆ means “As required”, and in the manual for the oil-free rotary vane pumps in the 23 series, the parts in the service kit are marked with *.

When the list applies from a particular serial number

Some parts lists and drawings only apply to part of a production run. In that case, the serial number or machine number decides which one applies to your machine:

• Rotabroach Rhino 2: the exploded view and parts list for the spindle assembly apply from serial number 65820.
• Husqvarna PG 530: in 2020, Husqvarna's page for the machine listed one illustrated parts list up to machine number 1208-3 and another for machine 0904-01 onwards.
• Ficon FC 500-2000: the operating manual has no parts list, but shows the sprayer's parts in separate overviews for the previous and current production models. The wiring diagrams are marked to show whether they apply up to or from serial number XXXXX.20230308.010583, where the first five characters are shown as XXXXX in the manual. See also Brine in the spreader.

When the plate is missing or illegible

The Machinery Regulations require the operating manual to state the designation of the machine as it appears on the machine itself, but not the serial number. If the plate is illegible, you will find the designation there. If the manual covers several models, such as the Commando 40/1 and 40/3, it does not tell you which one you have.

The serial number may be in the declaration of conformity. The manufacturer or authorised representative must ensure that the declaration accompanies the machine, and the declaration must identify the machine by, among other things, model, type and serial number. The version of the declaration reproduced in the operating manual might not include the serial number.

Rotabroach's operating manuals for the Magdrill Eagle, Magdrill Gator and the Rhino 2 rail drill have a field for the serial number on the front page. Fill it in while the plate is legible.

Husqvarna writes in the operating manuals for the PG 680, PG 820 and DC 6000 that the machine must be kept clean, and that plates and stickers must be fully legible.

Before you order

Check this before you send your order on Spare parts. If you cannot find the part number, How to order spare parts explains what the order needs instead.

• the full model designation, with all letters and numbers
• the serial number
• that the parts list applies to the model and serial number
• the part number, not the item number (Item or Ref) – in Gast's tables it is in the column for your model
• whether the part is also included in a service kit with its own number
