Before set-up or installation of the side channel blower, these protective devices must be
removed. No contamination can be allowed to remain inside the side channel blower.

of the side channel blower.
Explosion protection / safety instructions!
Electrical equipment that will be operated in areas subject to the risk of
explosion must meet explosion protection requirements. These are identified
by the factory plate on the motor. For installation in areas subject to the danger
of explosion, applicable local regulations for explosion protection and
requirements of the test certificate included with delivery, which was issued by
the office responsible for testing, must be observed. The test certificate
included with delivery must be kept in a safe place at the installation location
(for example in the supervisor's office, etc.).
