4 Assembly, commissioning and operation
Danger of injury if assembled under pressure or voltage!
Assembling when under pressure or electrical voltage can lead to injuries and
damage to the product or system components.
1. Make sure that the relevant system component is without pressure and
voltage before you assemble the product.
2. Protect the system against being restarted.
Sudden pressure increase during commissioning!
If no SSU filling valve is used, the system will suddenly be under pressure dur-
ing commissioning! This may result in dangerous erratic cylinder motions.
When commissioning a system, make sure that the cylinders are in their
u
end position. For cylinders not in the end position, make sure they do not
present any danger.
