above work must be carried out by authorised specialist technical personnel
1
.
•
Use only pressure-resistant installation materials and suitable tools that are in proper working order.
•
Before pressurising the system, check all unit parts and repair them, if necessary. Open valves slowly
to prevent pressure blows during operation.
•
Make sure that no persons can be injured or objects can be damaged by condensate or escaping
compressed gas.
•
Protect the device parts against vibration and impact.
