➤ Do not convert or modify the machine!
➤ Obtain written approval by the manufacturer prior to any technical modification or expansion of
the machine, the controller, or the control programs.
Extending or modifying the compressor station
If dimensioned appropriately, safety relief valves reliably prevent an impermissible rise in pressure.
New dangers may arise if you modify or extend the blower air station.
➤ If an air distribution network is to be extended or changed: Check the capacity of the blow-off
valves before installing any new machines.
➤ Blow-off valves of insufficient capacity must be replaced by valves with higher capacity.
