1.1 INTRODUCTION
This operating manual contains important information and must be read,
understood and complied with by persons who work with the RKF 130 piston filler
or are responsible for its operation.
The complete operating manual must always be kept close to the RKF 130 piston
filler.
The particularly important details for the operation are referred to in the operating
manual.
Knowledge of and compliance with the operating manual helps to achieve the
degree of security, which can be attained in accordance with the latest
technological developments, and disturbance-free operation when dealing with
this piston filler. Hence, it is very important that this operating manual is made
accessible to the responsible persons and reading of the same is also made
compulsory to this group of people.
Piston fillers subject to official inspection must be inspected before start of
operation. Determining the existence of a national or regional acceptance
obligation is binding for the customer. The manufacturer is excluded from all the
liability claims in case of non-compliance.
We recommend you to carefully read through this operating manual before
operating the piston filler for the first time. The machine manufacturer accepts no
liability for damage and malfunctions which result from non-compliance with the
operating manual.
Please contact our customer service or spare parts department or a
representative who will be glad to help you if any problems crop up.
The images and drawings shows are only for purposes of understanding.
