1.3 General behaviour when handling the 1. Safety instructions product 1.1 General safety instructions • Familiarize yourself with the functions and operation of the product. The specified assembly and operating steps and their • Putting the products into operation or operating them without sequences must be observed.
• Alterations to the control circuit board beyond adjustment of lubrication times and interval times or replacement in case of 1.6 Foreseeable misuse defect • Alterations to the power supply board beyond replacement in Any usage of the product other than as specified in this manual case of defect is strictly prohibited.
• Dry any wet, slippery surfaces or cover them appropriately • Cover hot or cold surfaces appropriately Where applicable: • Depressurize • Isolate, lock and tag out • Check to ensure live voltage is no longer present • Ground and short-circuit The product should be protected as much as possible from humidity, dust, and vibration, and should be installed so that it is easily accessible.
• The ignition temperature of the lubricant must lie at least 2. Lubricants 50 K over the maximum surface temperature of the components. 2.1 General information Lubricants are selected specifically for the respective application. The selection is made by the manufacturer or operator of the machine, preferably together with the lubricant supplier.
