ble local explosion protection regulations and the regulations of
the test c ertificate supplied with the equipment and issued by
the responsible approval authorities must be observed and
complied with.
The test certificate must be kept close to the location of opera-
tion for easy access (e.g. foreman’s office).

Installation
All structural work required must have been prepared in accor-
dance with the dimensions and loads stated in the dimension
table / installation plan.
The concrete foundations shall have sufficient strength
(min. BN 25) to ensure safe and functional installation in
accordance with DIN 1045 or equivalent standards.
Make sure that the concrete foundation has set firmly before
placing the unit on it. Its surface shall be truly horizontal and
even.
