the interest of further development, we reserve ourselves the right to technical
changes. Keep the present Notes on Use and Installation readily accessible
to all users. Please take notice of the superordinate instructions for use of the
complete machinery or equipment.The general hazard warning refers to the
whole life cycle of the partly completed machinery.
1. Transport
Please note the transport instructions on the packaging. Make sure to leave the
product in the original packaging and protect it from humidity and damage until
assembly. Please note that moving parts are fixed and can cause no damage
during transport.
2. Assembly
Always switch the relevant system component off-circuit before you assemble
the product or plug/unplug it. Secure the system against re-starting. Lay the
cables and conducts so that they cannot be damaged and nobody can trip over
them. Avoid places with risk of slipping, tripping or falling.
3. Putting into service
Let the product acclimatise for some hours before putting it into service.Make
sure the partly completed machinery is tightly and safely integrated to the
complete machinery. Only put fully installed products into service.
4. During operation
Allow the access to the direct operational area of the system only to people
authorised by the operator. This also applies for downtimes of the system.
Moving parts must not be accidentally actuated. In case of emergency, error or
other irregularities, switch off the system and secure it against restarting. Make
sure people cannot be shut in the system’s danger zone.
5. Cleaning
Close all openings with appropriate protective devices so that no detergent can
enter the system. Use no aggressive detergents. Do not use a high-pressure
cleaner for the cleaning.
6. Putting into service and maintenance
Perform the required maintenance work in the time intervals described in the
operating instructions. Make sure no connection line, connection or component
is released until the system is under pressure and tension. Secure the system
against restarting.
7. Disposal
Dispose of the product according to the national and international provisions of
your country.
