Introduction To fill a gas spring safely we recommend the use of optionally available optional additional equipment. The parts can be ordered from FIBRO GMBH using the indicated order number. Connection adapter Order number 2480.00.32.07.04 Bottle pressure regulator Order number 2480.00.32.07.01...
Introduction Function The filling of a gas spring directly from a nitrogen bottle only works if the pressure in the bottle is higher than the required filling pressure of the gas spring. The filling of a gas spring with 150 bar is not possible with a bottle pressure of 120 bar. The re- maining nitrogen in the bottle remains unused or has to be used for other applications.
The figures in these instructions are examples. Deviations between a figure and the actual con- ditions on the machine are possible. The drawings of FIBRO GMBH and the information on third-party products are decisive. 10/38 Instructions manual Nitrogen Compact Booster...
Introduction 1.9.3 Safety instructions These instructions contain safety notices intended to draw attention to possible dangers that should be observed to prevent injury. The pertinent text describes • the type of danger • the source of danger • the options for preventing injuries •...
If a work material, an act, a work method or work technique is used which has not been specif- ically suggested by FIBRO GMBH, then the user has to ensure the safety for himself and other persons.

Assembly ASSEMBLY Important safety instructions WARNING! Faulty assembly Connection to not authorised nitrogen bottle or false connection of additional equipment is dan- gerous. Only qualified staff may carry out assembly work. Please adhere to the operating or assembly instruction of additional equipment. For the assembly of the machine or of the additional equipment, please ensure that only ...
Assembly Assembling the machine WARNING! High pressure Unsuitable tools may fail. This means that nitrogen can escape under high pressure. Only use additional equipment such as filling and control fitting, filling hose and bottle pres- sure regulator . Risk of injury The following description considers the assembly of all required parts and all possible additional equipment.

Assembly 4. Bottle pressure regulator to be assembled. a) Remove green protective cap. b) Bottle pressure regulator to be screwed at the nitrogen outlet thread. c) Tighten the nut with a spanner. 5. Filling hose to be assembled. a) Filling hose to be screwed on to the bottle pressure regulator. b) Tighten the nut with a spanner.
Operation OPERATION Important safety instructions WARNING! Impermissible values and setting. The permissible maximum values for the operation of the machine which may not be exceeded. Operation only on nitrogen bottle with maximum 200 bar internal pressure. Compressed driving air maximum 6 bar. ...
Operation Operating the machine NOTICE Damage to the machine If the controls are set incorrectly, parts of the machine may be damaged. Prior to opening of the nitrogen bottle the drive air pressure has to be adjusted and the valve at the bottle pressure regulator has to be closed.
Operation 6.4.2 Fill gas spring 1. Filling and control fitting to be prepared. a) Small turn knob (a) to be turned left until it arrests. This moves the tripping pin (b) into the retracted position. b) Outlet valve (c) to be connected. 2.

Operation 11. After filling the nitrogen bottle has to be closed at the turn knob of the bottle valve. 12. Switch off machine (switch on lever has to be turned right by 90°). 13. Discharge valve has to be opened at the filling and control fitting. a) Pressure and remaining nitrogen escape from the filling and control fitting and filling hose.
Staff which hasn't been trained accordingly has not the necessary authorities, to find faults or to remove faults. Faults may only be removed by FIBRO customer service or by staff of the operator which has been trained and authorised to carry out these activities.
