C AUTION!

Working on products that have not been disconnected from the 
power supply can cause serious injury or death to persons. Ins-
tallation, maintenance, and repair work may only be carried out 
by qualiied experts on products that have been disconnected 
from the power supply. The supply voltage must be turned off 
before any product components are opened. 

 



C AUTION!

Centralized lubrication systems are under pressure when they 
are being operated. Such systems must therefore be depressu-
rized before starting installation, maintenance, or repair work 
and before making any changes to the system.
