General information Instruction The following instruction and warning symbols are used in these instruc- and warning tions: symbols Personal DANGER injuries signifies an immediate danger. Disregard of this notice will result in death or severe bodily injuries. WARNING signifies a potential danger. Disregard of this notice can result in death or severe bodily injuries.
Safety Safety General areas of application of the PKL are for knocking off adhesive bulk Intended use materials from container walls (e.g. silos, hoppers, filter outlets, pipelines and reactors) and for emptying residues from weighing containers. The PKL also prevent bridging and rat-holing, so that the material can continu- ously flow.

Design and function Design and function Design Quick air-exhaust valve Silencer Springs Piston Flange Impact plate Pressure Impact force The PKL is a pneumatic "hammer". Compressed air goes under the pis- Function ton (4) and presses it against one or two springs (3). When exhausting, the air chamber beneath the piston empties abruptly via the quick air-exhaust valve (1).
Transport and storage Transport and storage Observe the safety instructions in Ch. Safety, from page 5 on. Special transport conditions are not required. Transport conditions When moving the PKL 10000, use the mounted transport lugs at the top of the housing. Packaging The PKL are packed and ready for assembly.
Installation Installation Observe the safety instructions in Ch. Safety, from page 5 on. When installing the PKL carry out the following steps in succession: Procedure Instructions Install the EE kit on the PKL 190 / 450 / 740 between the flange of the PKL for EE kit and the mounting surface so that •...
