Safety Instructions - Rothenberger 53200 Instrucciones De Uso

Safety instructions

One must ensure that unauthorised persons, children and animals can have no access to the de-
vices, in particular when these are being used.
The delivered condition of the devices must not be altered. Non-observance leads to expiry of the
EC declaration of conformity as well as the manufacturer warranty and the product liability. Safety
devices must neither be removed nor taken out of operation.
Although the devices primarily consist of impact resistant components, strong impacts as well as
external damage must be avoided.
Before using the devices the usual checks must be performed for obvious damage in order to avoid
danger to persons or damage to the devices. Any defects must be repaired immediately or defective
parts replaced. Ensure that the devices are clean before use. Damage can otherwise arise to the
spindles, counter pressure screws or hydraulic cylinders.
Only use devices for provisional closing off of PE-HD piping. During the attempt to squeeze pipes
(or other objects) made out of other materials, the pipes (or objects) or the devices are damaged or
destroyed.
The devices can be set up in the open and used, protected against rain and damp.
Squeezings can be performed down to +5°C. Special measures are needed for temperatures below
+5°C.
The degree of squeezing or the spacers are according to the recommendations made in GW 332*.
Also concerning use, limitations and other measures to be taken, we recommend observance of the
recommendations contained in the GW 332*.
The devices can operated in an upright or horizontal condition. One must, however, ensure that the
devices are placed with the hydraulic cylinder in such a way that the hydraulic fluid can flow into
the pumping device.
The devices are not EX-protected and must never be operated in an environment which requires
such EX-protection. There will be a risk of explosion otherwise.
The devices may only be transported in a completely compacted state. It is only then that one can
ensure that the lower squeezing pipes can be firmly fixed in the device and cannot fall out during
transport. This risk can, under some circumstances, exist despite the securing straps on the lower
cross pipes. Always also secure the upper squeezing pipes by fixing in place with the counter pressu-
re screws.
Inform yourself before use about the standards, regulations or recommendations relevant for you
from your client, supplier or other responsible trade associations/ associations/organisations/institu-
tes etc.
