Basic safety notes
destroyed and hot or pressurised fluid may
escape. Make sure that the equipment is always
used within the admissible pressure and
temperature ratings.
You can find information on the pressure and
temperature ratings on the name plate.
Risk of severe injuries
The equipment may become hot during
operation. Do not operate the equipment unless
thermal insulation or protection against
accidental contact prevents you from touching
hot surfaces.
If unsuitable lifting gear is used or the gear is
used improperly the equipment or parts of it
could fall down.
The equipment is under pressure during
operation and may be hot. Before carrying out
any work on the equipment make sure that the
following requirements are met:
Make sure that only qualified personnel lifts
the equipment or parts of it.
Make sure that nobody is standing or
working below the hoisted equipment.
The pipes must be depressurized (0 bar).
Make sure that the lifting gear is of sufficient
strength for the load to be hoisted and that
the load is properly secured and attached to
it. For more information on the nature and
weight of the components and safe lifting
points please contact the manufacturer.
The fluid must be completely removed from
the pipes and the equipment.
During work on the equipment the
installation must be switched off and
protected against unauthorised or
unintended activation.
Make sure that all locally applicable
regulations on safety and the prevention of
accidents are strictly adhered to.
The pipes and the equipment must have
cooled down to room temperature (approx.
20 °C).
Risk of minor injuries
If the equipment is used in contaminated areas
there is a risk of severe injuries or death caused
by harmful substances in or on the equipment.
Before working on the equipment make sure
that it is completely decontaminated. Always
wear the protective clothing prescribed for
contaminated areas when working on the
equipment.
Sharp edges on internals present the danger of
cuts to hands. Always wear industrial gloves
when servicing the equipment.
If the support of the equipment during
installation is insufficient the equipment might
fall down, thereby causing bruises or injuries.
Make sure the equipment is safely held in place
during installation and cannot fall down. Wear
protective safety footwear.
The equipment must only be used with fluids
that do not attack the material and the gaskets
and sealings of the equipment. Otherwise leaks
may occur and hot or toxic fluid could escape.
The equipment and its component parts must
only be mounted or removed by qualified
personnel. A qualified person must be
acquainted with and experienced in the
following:
Making pipe connections.
Selecting suitable lifting gear and
understanding the rules for its safe use.
Working with dangerous (contaminated, hot
or pressurized) fluids.
If the admissible pressure and temperature
ratings are exceeded, the equipment may be
