Basic Safety Information
WARNING
Risk of injury or product damage through improper handling.
Please carefully read and understand the operating manual before commissioning.
Danger from ejected parts!
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the fan. Make sure that media discharged into the
surrounding area are not discharged close to people.
Danger from ejected parts!
Do not insert any objects through the opening in the U100HL-024KA-4.
Danger from rotating and pressurized parts!
Before starting work on the U100HL-024KA-4:
- Disconnect from the power supply
- Secure against restarting,
- Determine absence of voltage,
- Vent pipes and pump (depressurization)
Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by qualified and authorized
electricians!
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Hair can be sucked in by the flow and become coiled around the impeller.
Hair should not be worn down and untied! Use a hair net!
Risk of cutting and crushing when reaching into the rotating impeller
Only operate the U100HL-024KA-4 with pipelines connected to suction or pressure
discharge nozzles! A pipe or hose section of at least 12 cm in length must also be connected
during operation with opened suction nozzles (suction from or discharge into the surrounding

area) to prevent fingers from coming into contact with the impeller! Dismantle connections to
the suction and pressure discharge nozzles only after safe disconnection from the power
supply! Pay attention to the stopping time of the impeller.
Potential risk of burn injuries from touching the hot surface of the U100HL-024KA-4!
Do not touch the housing during operation! A protective guard should be provided to prevent
accidental contact.
NOTE
Opening the U100HL-024KA-4 housing will void the manufacturer's warranty!
The U100HL-024KA-4 is maintenance-free. Do not open the housing.

- be mounted in any axis position.
- Secure mounting against loosening from vibrations (pay attention to the stop nuts, screw
locking, and screw pre-tension)
- Do not exceed the maximum tightening torque of 8 Nm. This is to avoid damaging the
housing.
Maintain a minimum distance of 60 mm on each side for heat dissipation.
NOTE
Risk of overheating through prevention of natural convection.
The U100HL-024KA-4 is passively cooled. Observe the permissible housing temperature.
Maintain a minimum distance of 60 mm on each side for heat dissipation and cooling air
intake.
The U100HL-024KA-4 may move during operation!
The U100HL-024KA-4 may only be operated when fully assembled or secured against
