NOTE
Edge pressure in the area of the flats!
If workpieces are NOT grasped without play and in a protective manner by the flats during
assembly/disassembly, then they are at risk of damage.
For gentle, protective assembly/disassembly work, use an adjustable or pliers wrench
with parallel, smooth clamping jaws.
Apply the clamping jaws of the adjustable wrench or pliers wrench to the flats without
play so that they rest evenly across the surface and loosen or tighten the screwed part.

Maintenance Intervals
NOTE
Component failure due to vibration damage!
During operation, vibrations can cause screw and clamp connections to become loose or
the device to be exposed to severe strain, thus possibly resulting in a component failure.
The failure of components or a device malfunction can cause material damage and
consequential damage.
Check the installed device for loose connections at regular intervals.
Pay attention to vibration damage during maintenance and inspection.
Adapt the maintenance intervals according to the operating conditions of the plant.
After start-up, start with short maintenance intervals at first.
If no damage occurs, the maintenance intervals can be adapted incrementally until
the intervals specified in the instructions are reached.
NOTE
Foreign objects impair the functional safety of the device!
This can cause damage, mechanical sparks and/or hot surfaces in the device.
Ensure that no foreign objects enter the device while you are working with it.
Maintenance Intervals and Methods
Reduce the maintenance intervals by 30% in the event of:
–
Deviation from the preferred installation position of the device (see
Section 5.2.2 Installation
–
Vibrations that occur in the plant that are NOT caused by the device and CANNOT be
prevented.
If the device is NOT operated for a longer period, we recommend that you check the device completely
before re-commissioning to make sure that it is fully functional
