4.8 Dangers resulting from conversion work/modifications on the machine

Danger
Genuine parts are designed especially
for the machine. Modifications may
interfere with safety equipment or give
rise to new dangers for which protection
is not provided.
If protective equipment is not
functioning, operating the system may
put lives at risk.
Safety measure required
No alterations, additions, or modifications to the machine may be carried out
without the approval of the manufacturer. Unauthorized modifications to the
machine are prohibited for reasons of safety.
Original parts are specially-designed for our machines. We must explicitly point
out that parts and special accessories not supplied by the manufacturer are not
approved by Gardner Denver. Installing or using such products will adversely
affect active and/or passive safety.
The manufacturer accepts no liability whatsoever for damage resulting from the
use of non-original parts or special accessories.
This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves
as well as to welding on bearing and pressurized parts.
Only operate the machine when all protective devices, shutdown devices,
sound-insulating equipment and extraction equipment are in place and working.
Safety devices, protective covers, or insulations mounted on the system must
not be removed or modified in any way.
