1.4
Specific types of hazards
To avoid damage to machine or life-threatening injuries during installation of
machine, the following points must be observed:
Machine parts that are improperly placed or incorrectly attached can fall
down or overturn.
Sharp-edged machine parts that are still exposed and accessible can
result in injury.
Incorrectly installed lines (e.g. insufficient bending radius) can cause
smouldering and cable fires.
Risk of chemical burns when skin comes in direct contact with lubricant
leak.
Electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic processes.
During operation, surface temperatures (compressor and pressure line)
can climb above 100 °C or drop below 0 °C.
Serious burns/frostbites can occur. Before working on the compressor:
Switch off unit and allow to cool down.

Operator's duty of care
Your WATERKOTTE heat pump has been designed and built on the basis
of a risk analysis and after careful selection of standards to be observed.
Thus, your heat pump is state-of-the-art and provides for maximum safety.
In practice, however, this safety can only be ensured by taking all necessary
measures. As operator of the heat pump it is your responsibility to plan
these measures and oversee their implementation.
You must ensure that:
The heat pump is only used as intended (see also chapter 1.1,
„Intended use“).
The heat pump is only operated in perfect, fully functional condition and
safety devices are checked regularly to ensure that they are working
properly.
The operating manual is available in perfect condition at the heat pump
at all times.
The heat pump is operated, maintained and repaired only by adequately
qualified and authorised personnel.
None of the safety and warning notices on the heat pump are removed
or damaged.
