Operating instructions

Safety
Extracted from VDMA-Standard sheet 24292 (VDMA =
Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V.)
These operating instructions contain basic information
on the installation, operating and maintenance and
should be followed carefully. For this reason it is essen-
tial that these instructions are carefully read
before installation or commissioning. The operating
instructions should always be readily available at the
location of the unit.
In addition to following the safety regulations, it is also
essential that the special safety instructions given
under other headings be observed.
Identification of hints in the operating instructions
Safety instructions given in this operating manual, the
non-observance of which could cause danger to life have
been specifically high-lighted with the general danger
symbol. (See DIN 4844-W 9).
The presence of a dangerous voltage is identified with
the safety symbol. (See DIN 4844-W 8).
Symbols directly on the unit itself, e.g.
>
Direction of rotation arrow
>
Name plate
must be carefully observed and must be maintained in a
legible condition.
Dangers which could arise due to non-observance of
safety instructions
The non-observance of the safety instructions can lead
to both danger to personnel and also to possible harm
to the environment or the unit itself. Non-observance of
the safety instructions can invalidate the rights of the
user to any compensation or regress.
In detail, non-observance can for example result in the
following dangers:
> Failure of important functions of the unit/installation.
> Danger to personnel by electrical, mechanical or
chemical influences.
> Danger to the environment by leakage of dangerous
substances.
Carry out work in a safety conscious manner
The safety instruction listed in this operating manual,
the existing National Regulations for safety, as well as
any internal operating or safety regulations which apply
in the user's own premises must be observed.
Safety Regulations for the Owner/Operator

details consult the regulations of your local Electricity
Supply Company).
Safety Regulations for maintenance, inspection and
installation work
The user of the unit should ensure that all maintenance,
inspection or installation work is carried out by autho-
rised and qualified skilled personnel. The user must

Modifications or changes to the unit/installation should
only be carried out after consultations with the manufac-
turer. Original spare parts and accessories authorised
by the manufacturer are essential for compliance with
safety requirements. The use of other parts can invali-
date any claims for warranty or compensation.
