DANGER
Danger of ignition in potentially explosive atmosphere due to potential differences!
When filling and emptying containers with fluids, when recirculating, stirring, mixing and
spraying fluids and also when measuring, sampling and cleaning, the fluids themselves or
the interior of the container could be charged in a dangerous manner.
Differences in potential (e.g. electrostatic charge) can cause igniting sparks or heat,
which can act as an ignition source.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
Only clean electrically conductive containers.
Make sure that any electrostatic charge is prevented. Also make sure that all electrically
conductive parts on the device and the container are grounded for potential equalization
to the same potential using grounding cables with a sufficient diameter.
Grounding must always be carried out before start-up of the device.
Avoid grounding faults (e.g. subsequent grounding of already charged objects or
equipment).
Do not secure or seal mechanical connections with electrically insulating materials
(such as sealing tape, sealant, adhesive, etc.), if it impairs the grounding of the device
on the container.
DANGER
Explosion hazard due to ignition source!
An existing explosive atmosphere could be ignited.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
The cleaning medium and the material to be cleaned must not cause a chemical
reaction that might cause an ignition.
Observe electrostatic charges when handling fluids.
WARNING
Risk of burns on hot surfaces!
The device is supplied without additional measures to provide protection against hot surfaces.
The device may heat up significantly as a result of the cleaning medium or heat transfer
from the container. If you touch the device or the supply line for the cleaning medium,
skin burns could result.
There is a risk of burns from the cleaning medium at temperatures of above +60 °C
(+140 °F).
Insulate hot surfaces.
Safeguard hot surfaces with a guard or barriers.
Put up warning signs in the direct vicinity of the hot surfaces.
Wear protective work clothing and protective gloves when working.
