6 Start-up
NOTE
Risk of breakage due to material overload!
Pressure surges when switching the cleaning medium on or off, in particular pressure
surges that exceed the operating pressure, and gas components in the cleaning medium
may result in hammering in the cleaning device.
There is a risk of material damage or destruction of plant components, e.g. leakage in the
pipe system or at connected devices.
Prevent pressure surges (“water hammers”) and gas components in the cleaning
medium, e.g. by:
–
Installing a water hammer arrester or pressure relief valve in the supply line,
–
Slowly starting/stopping the pump and
–
Slowly opening/closing the shut-off fitting (e.g. valve or ball cock).
The term “water hammer” refers to a pressure surge in a fluid line that is caused by opening/closing a
shut-off fitting (e.g. valve or ball cock) quickly at the end of the pipeline.
Pressure hammers/pressure surges can also be caused by quick changes in the flow rate (pressure
increase or pressure drop), or by sudden changes in the direction of flow of fluids. This effect is
particularly common in pump systems with long pipelines when starting up, stopping or changing the
speed of pumps.

Operation
Once it has been started up and inspected, the device can be put into operation, observing the following
instructions.
WARNING
Risk when used outdoors!
The devices are usually operated in a closed factory hall and are thus protected from the risk
of lightning. If the device is used outdoors, there is a risk of lightning in the case of a storm.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
The plant in which the device is installed must be protected by suitable lightning
protection measures.
In case of use outdoors and in case of storms or the risk of lightning, stop work
immediately.
