Remove padlock

Note:

The combination lock can be opened with the number combination 

000

 on delivery. 

We recommend changing the number combination to a personal 

number sequence. Make a note of the number combination and keep 

it in a safe place.

Note:

The padlock must only be fitted again for inspection purposes (OFF 

position) and should be stored in a suitable place or outside the plant 

until then.
Do not hang the padlock during operation in the opening of the OFF 

switching position, because otherwise the pneumatic switching ON/

OFF cannot switch to the end position.

The pneumatic switching ON/OFF can now be operated

Warning:

Do not touch the operating lever when the drive is pressurized.
