Installation Installation CAUTION! Danger of injury to personnel and material damage The disregard of technical data during installation may lead to personal injuries or damage to property. – Observe the technical data- refer to chapter "Technical Data" and, where applicable, the operating instructions of the accessories.
Page 20
Installation CAUTION! Warning against the discharge line bursting With a closed discharge line (e.g. due to a clogged discharge line or by closing a valve), the pressure that the metering pump generates can reach several times the permissible pressure of the system or the metering pump. This could lead to lines bursting, resulting in dangerous consequences with aggressive or toxic feed chemicals.
