ATTENTION!
Properly performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for operational

the products which you manufacture. Installations and equipment from other manufacturers must
also be in good condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Make sure that coolant, lubricants and oils are not spilt on the floor.
Clean up any spilt liquid or oils immediately using proper oil-absorption methods and dispose of
them in accordance with current environmental protection regulations.
Collecting leakages
Do not re-introduce liquids spilt outside the system during repair or as a result of
leakage into the reserve tank; collect them in a collecting container for disposal.
