These instructions for use contain general information, which should be noted when setting up, using and servicing the equipment. Installers
and / or users must read and understand in detail these instructions prior to installation and servicing. These instructions must always be
available at the site of the installation. All safety instructions must be full observed.
2.1 Marking of information in the instruction for use

had to be strictly observed and kept in a readable condition.
2.2 Personal qualification
All personnel involved in the operation, maintenance, inspection and installation of the machine must be fully qualified to carry out the work
involved. Personnel responsibilities, competence and supervision must be clearly defined by the operator. If the personnel in question are not
already in possession of the requisite know- how, appropriate training and instruction must be provided. If required, the operator may
commission the manufacturer/supplier to take care of such training. In addition, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the contents of
the operating instructions are fully understood by the responsible personnel.
2.3 Dangers arising due to non-compliance with safety advice
Ignoring of safety instructions can lead to danger of personnel and to the environment as well as causing possible damage to the equipment.
Non-compliance with safety instructions can lead to the loss of right to claim damages. Non-compliance with safety instructions can lead for
example to:
- Breakdown in important functions of the equipment
- Breakdown in prescript methods for maintenance and upkeep
- Danger of injury from electrical, mechanical or chemical sources
- Environmental damage resulting from leaks of environmentally dangerous substances
2.4 Safety conscious work
These safety instructions, as well as all national safety requirements and extra internal company precautions or such laid down by the owner
of the equipment must be observed.
2.5 Safety information for the owner / operator
- Any parts of the machine which could be a possible source of hot or cold burns should be covered.
Covering for rotating parts (i.e. coupling) should be not removed while the machine is in use.
- Leak out (i.e. sealing of shaft) of dangerous substances (i.e. explosives, poisons, hot liquids) have to be handled in such a way
that no danger to persons or the environment may occur. Legal requirements must be observed.
- Danger resulting from electrical current must be prevented. (For more information consult the specifications of the VDE or
your local electricity board.)
2.6 Safety information for maintenance, inspection and fitting
The owner must ensure that all maintenance, inspection and fitting work is carried out by qualified and authorised personnel who are familiar
with the operating instructions for equipment. In general all maintenance work must be carried out while the equipment is not in operation.
The instructions for turning off the equipment contained in these operating instructions must be observed.
