Installation and electrical connection
The following must be observed as regards storage:
▪ Place the mixer on a solid surface and secure it against slipping and falling over!
▪ The max. storage temperature is -15 °C to +60 °C (5 °F to 140 °F) at a max. relative hu-
midity of 90 %, non-condensing. Frost-proof storage at a temperature of 5 °C to 25 °C
(41 °F to 77 °F) with relative humidity of 40 % to 50 % is recommended.
▪ Do not store the mixer in rooms in which welding work is carried out. The resulting
gases or radiation can corrode the elastomer parts and coatings.
▪ Protect the mixer from direct sunlight and heat. Extreme heat can cause damage to the
propeller and the coating!
▪ Turn the propeller for five full rotations at regular intervals (every 2 – 4 weeks) when in
storage. Doing so presents the drive from jamming and renews the film of lubrication on
the pinions.
▪ For information on storing the drive unit, consult and observe the manufacturer's in-
structions!
After storage, remove any dust and oil from the mixer and check the coatings for dam-
age. Repair damaged coatings before further use.
▪ Electrical work: A qualified electrician must carry out the electrical work.
▪ Installation/dismantling: The technician must be trained in the use of the necessary
tools and fixation materials for the relevant construction site.
▪ Observe the locally applicable accident prevention and safety regulations of trade asso-
ciations.
▪ Observe all regulations for working with heavy loads and under suspended loads.
▪ Provide protective equipment and ensure that the protective equipment is worn by
personnel.
▪ Demarcate the working area and keep it free from any objects lying around.
▪ Unauthorised persons must be kept away from the working area.
▪ If the weather conditions (e.g. ice formation, strong wind) mean it is no longer possible
to work safely, stop work.
▪ Structural components and foundations must be of sufficient stability in order to allow
the device to be fixed in a secure and functional manner. The operator is responsible for
the provision and suitability of the building/foundation!
▪ Check that the available consulting documents (installation plans, design of the operat-
ing space, inflow conditions) are complete and correct.
DANGER
Danger due to fluids hazardous to health during installation!
Ensure that the installation site is clean and disinfected during installation. If contact
with fluids that are hazardous to health is possible, observe the following points:
• Wear protective equipment:
⇒ Closed safety goggles
⇒ Mouth protection
⇒ Protective gloves
• Immediately wipe up drips.
• Observe the specifications provided by work regulations! The operator must
make sure that personnel have received and read work regulations!
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to dangerous lone working practices!
Work in chambers and narrow rooms as well as work involving risk of falling are dan-
gerous work. Such work may not be carried out autonomously! A second person
must be present for safety reasons.
