1. Safety instructions
General
The components have been manufactured in
compliance with the generally established rules of
engineering as well as with regulations of labour
safety and accident prevention. Their use may still
provoke dangers, entailing physical harm to the
user or third persons or damage to assets.
Therefore, the components may be used only when
they are in a proper technical state and with due
adherence to the operating instructions. Any faults
which, in particular, may affect safety have to be
eliminated immediately.
Use in compliance with the intended purpose
The pump sets of the VOGEL KFG and KFGS
series are applied for feeding centralized lubrication
systems in vehicles, equipment and machines.
They deliver grease of up to NLGI Class 2.
Any use beyond the above purpose shall be
deemed as not being compliant with the intended
purpose.
Authorized staff
Only qualified staff shall be allowed to install,
operate, maintain, and repair the components
described in this Manual. Qualified staff shall mean
persons who have been trained, commissioned,
and instructed by the user of the equipment. Such
persons, on account of their training, experience
and instructions received, are familiar with the
relevant standards, rules, accident prevention
regulations and operating conditions. They are
authorized to carry out the works required in each
case and, when doing so, are aware of possible
dangers and are able to prevent them. The definition
of qualified staff and the prohibition of employing
non-qualified staff is laid down in DIN VDE 0105
or IEC 364.

Installation
When carrying out any installation works on vehicles
and machines, regional accident prevention
regulations as well as relevant operating and
maintenance specifications have to be observed.
Danger by electric current
Only properly trained specialist staff shall be allowed
to carry out the electrical connection of the devices,
taking into account local conditions for connection
and regulations (e.g. DIN, VDE)! Considerable
damage to material and persons may be provoked
due to the improper connection of devices!
Danger by pressurized systems
Systems may be pressurized so that they have to
be depressurized prior to commencing works for
extension, modification, or repair of the systems.
