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.
4.1 Positioning and
installation
4.1 Positioning
The system must be mounted in a way that
protects it from humidity and vibrations. It
should also be easily accessible so that all
other installation work can be carried out
without hindrance. Ensure that there is suf-
ficient circulating air to prevent the system
from overheating. For information on the
maximum admissible ambient temperature,
see the technical data section.
Before installing a VTEC unit, remove the
packaging material as well as any transport
safety devices (e.g. sealing plug in the open
outlet).
The VTEC unit can be delivered either in a
protective housing (option) or simply mount-
ed on a standard fixing rail by means of the
fixing clips on the backside.
4.1.2 Connection
The lubricant and compressed air inlet lines
are connected to a VTEC unit on the first
module (left side when unit seen from the
front side as on Fig. 1), which has two quick-
release connectors.
