NOTE
Risk of breakage due to material overload!
Pressure surges when switching the cleaning agent on or off, in particular pressure surges
which exceed the operating pressure, and gas components in the cleaning agent may
cause hammering in the cleaning device.
There is a risk of material damage or destruction of plant parts, e.g. leakage in the pipe
system or on connected devices.
Prevent pressure surges (“water hammers”) and gas components in the cleaning
agent, e.g. caused by:
–
installing a water hammer arrester or pressure relief valve in the supply line,
–
starting up/stopping the pump slowly and
–
opening/closing the shut-off fitting slowly (e.g. valve or ball cock).
The term “water hammer” denotes a pressure surge in a fluid line which is generated by
opening/closing a shut-off fitting (e.g. valve or ball cock) quickly at the end of a pipeline.
Pressure hammers/pressure surges can also be provoked by quick changes in the flow speed (pressure
increase or pressure drop) or by sudden changes in direction of the flow of fluids. This effect is particularly
common in pump systems with long pipelines when starting up, stopping or changing the speed of pumps.

Operation
After commissioning and performing inspection, the device can be put into operation, observing the
following instructions.
WARNING
Risk when using outdoors!
If the device is used outdoors, there is a risk of a lightning strike in case of a storm.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
The devices are usually operated in an enclosed factory hall and are thus protected
from the risk of lightning.
In case of use outdoors and in case of storms or the risk of lightning strikes, stop work
immediately.
