other properties of the operator if

– the braking unit is used improperly.
ƒ The procedural notes and circuit details represented within these
Operating Instructions are recommendations, the transferability of which
to the corresponding application has to be checked.

installedcorrectlyand used for their designed purpose in fault−free
operation, they fulfil their function and do not put any persons at risk.
