ther use.
○The described products are manufac-
tured according to the state of the art.
Risks may, however, arise from a usage
not according to the intended purpose
and may result in harm to persons or
damage to material assets.
○Any malfunctions which may affect safety
must be remedied immediately. In addi-
tion to these Instructions, general statu-
tory regulations for accident prevention
and environmental protection must be
observed.
1.2 General behaviour when handling
the product
○The product may be used only in aware-
ness of the potential dangers, in proper
technical condition, and according to the
information in these instructions.
○Familiarize yourself with the functions
and operation of the product. The speci-
fied assembly and operating steps and
their sequences must be observed.
○Any unclear points regarding proper
condition or correct assembly / operation
must be clarified. Operation is prohibited
until issues have been clarified.
○Keep unauthorized persons away.
○Wear personal protective equipment
always.
○Precautionary operational measures and
instructions for the respective work must
be observed.
○Responsibilities for different activities

fied or affected otherwise in its function
and is to be checked at regular intervals
for completeness and function.
○If protective and safety equipment has to
be dismantled, it must be reassembled
immediately after finishing the work, and
then checked for correct function.
○Remedy occurring faults in the frame of
responsibilities. Immediately inform your
superior in the case of faults beyond your
competence.
○Never use parts of the centralized lu-
brication system or of the machine as
standing or climbing aids.

Providing lubrication points with lubricant
in progressive lubrication systems following
the specifications, technical data and limits
stated in these Instructions.
Usage is allowed exclusively for professional
users in the frame of commercial and eco-
nomic activities.
1.4 Foreseeable misuse
Any usage differing from the one stated in
these Instructions is strictly prohibited, par-
ticularly a usage:
○outside the indicated ambient tempera-
ture range
○with non-specified means of operation

surface) in areas with aggressive and cor-
rosive materials.
○in areas with harmful radiation (e. g. ion-
ising radiation).
○to supply, transport, or store hazardous
substances and mixtures in accordance
with annex I part 2-5 of the CLP regula-
tion (EG 1272/2008) or HCS 29 CFR
1910.1200 marked with GHS01-GHS06
and GHS08 hazard pictograms.
○to feed, forward, or store gases, liquefied
gases, dissolved gases, vapours, or fluids
whose vapour pressure exceeds normal
atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar) by
more than 0.5 bar at the maximum per-
missible ambient temperature.
○with closure screws different from those
stated in these instructions.
○With inlet and outlet fittings different
from those stated in these Instructions.
○with metering screws for adjustable me-
tering devices different from those stated
in these instructions.
