The Overfill Prevention Sensors have been developed, manufactured and tested in accordance
with the latest good engineering practices and generally accepted safety standards. Neverthe-
less, hazards may arise from their use. For this reason, the following Safety Instructions must
be observed:
•
The proper function of the Overfill Prevention Sensors is only guaranteed in combina-
tion with an approved Overfill Prevention Controller in the tank truck.
•
Do not change or modify the Overfill Prevention Sensors or the overall system, or add
any equipment without the prior consent of the manufacturer.
•
Only use original parts. These comply with the technical requirements specified by the
manufacturer.
•
The installation, operation and maintenance of the Overfill Prevention Sensors must
only be carried out by expert personnel. Specialised knowledge must be acquired by
regular training.
•
The Overfill Prevention Sensors must be checked and approved before commissioning
and also at regular intervals (see Section 4.5, Approval and testing obligations)
•
Operators, installers and service technicians must observe all applicable safety regula-
tions. This also applies to any local safety and accident prevention regulations which
are not stated in this manual.
