Commissioning
Consult customer service in the case of intermittent operation!
The propeller must always be immersed during operation. If the fluid level drops below
the required immersion level, switch off the mixer! We therefore recommend installing
a level monitoring device for applications where the fluid level fluctuates significantly.

Danger of (serious) injuries during work. Wear the following protective equipment:
• Safety gloves for protection against cuts
• Safety shoes
• Safety helmet must be worn if lifting equipment are used!
▪ Electrical work: A qualified electrician must carry out the electrical work.
▪ Operation/control: Operating personnel must be instructed in the functioning of the
complete system.
▪ Provide installation and operating instructions by the mixer or at a place specially re-
served for it.
▪ Make the installation and operating instructions available in a language the personnel
can understand.
▪ Make sure that the installation and operating instructions are read and understood by
all personnel.
▪ All safety devices and emergency cut-outs on the system-side must be active and
checked to ensure that they work properly.
