Repair work
Repairs may be carried out solely by BEGO
customer service personnel or by persons
authorized by the BEGO customer service
department.
Metallic housings
must be grounded properly so
as to prevent them from carrying current. Otherwise
they are extremely dangerous because the
housings may be live due to damage to the
machine! Since a check to ensure a de-energized
state is mandatory after every intervention in the
machine (Germany: check in accordance with DIN
VDE 0701-1), only qualified electricians may open
the machine!
Only BEGO replacement and wearing parts may be
used.
Installation
The device is categorised under protection class I
and may only be connected to properly earthed
power sources (earth contact sockets).
When laying cables and hoses, make sure that they
are protected from hot components (e.g., moulds).
The cooling water temperature must never drop
below 10°C (50°F). If not observed, condensation
forming on the coil may have an adverse effect on
the heat output. If condensed water get onto the hot
mould, it may vaporized explosively.
Danger of burns when draining the cooling water!
The water can reach temperatures up to 70° C if the
unit was used for casting beforehand.
Care and maintenance
Switch off the machine and pull out the mains plug
before performing any care, cleaning or mainte-
nance work.
Only use dry or slightly moist cloths for cleaning. Do
not spray the machine with water or immerse it in
water.
Maintenance of safety-relevant compo-
nents
The unit has been designed for a service life of 10
years from the date of manufacture. No liability is
accepted for damages arising from operation of the
unit after this period.
Safety-relevant components must be checked
regularly and replaced as required. This work must
be carried out solely by BEGO customer service
personnel or by repair centres authorised by the
BEGO customer service department. For that
purpose, regular maintenance, including annual
inspections and an inspection after five years,
carried out by personnel authorized by BEGO is
recommended.
