4. Installation 
instructions

The minimal quantity lubrication system de-
scribed in the mounting instructions may 
only be installed, operated, maintained, and 
repaired by qualified experts. Qualified per-
sonnel are persons who have been trained, 
instructed, and familiarized by the user of 
the end product into which the system is in-
stalled. These persons are considered capa-
ble of such tasks due to their education, 
training, and experience with valid stan-
dards, conditions, accident prevention regu-
lations in effect, and installation conditions. 
They should be able to carry out the required 
tasks and to recognize – and thus avoid – any 
dangers that might otherwise occur.

A definition of what constitutes a qualified 

person and who are unqualified persons are 
stipulated in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364.

Before installing/positioning the minimal 

quantity lubrication system, remove the 
packaging material and any transportation 
safety devices such as sealing plugs. Keep 
the packaging material until any and all 
problems have been clarified.

Country-specific accident prevention reg-

ulations and the operating and maintenance 
instructions for the operator must be ob-
served when carrying out all installation 
work on machines.

C A U T I O N !

The lubrication system must not 

be tipped over or thrown.

4.1 Positioning and 
installation

The system must be protected from mois-
ture and vibrations but on the other hand 
mounted so that it is easily accessible to en-
sure that all further installation work can be 
carried out without difficulty. Ensure that 
there is sufficient circulating air to prevent 
the system from overheating. For informa-
tion on the maximum permitted ambient 
temperature, see technical data.

C A U T I O N !

The minimal quantity lubrication 

system must be securely fixed to its sup-
port to avoid accidental tipping. If the 
system falls it could be damaged or 
cause damages and can also injure an 
operator or another person.
