ATTENTION!
Properly-performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for
• safe operation,
• fault-free operation,
• long service life of the machine and
• the quality of the products you manufacture.
Installations and equipment from other manufacturers must also be in optimum condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Make sure that when working on the worm gear and on the coolant tank
• collection tanks are used where the collecting capacity is appropriate for the quantity
of liquids which needs to be collected.
• any spilt liquids and oils are not spilt on the ground.
Clean up any spilt liquid or oils immediately using proper oil-absorption methods and dispose of
them in accordance with current legal requirements on the environment.
Cleaning up spillages
Do not re-introduce liquids spilt outside the system during repair or as result of leakage from the
reserve tank: collect them in a special vessel to be disposed of.
Disposal
Never dump oil or other pollutant substances in water inlets, rivers or channels.
