work regulations and norms must be followed. You will find the advice in the appropriate sections of these
instructions.

carrying out work on the plant or parts of the system.
GARANTIA offers an extensive range of accessories that are all compatible with one another and may be
used to construct a complete system. The use of accessories that have not been approved by GRAF
results in the exclusion of the warranty/guarantee.
