CE mark
The CE mark appears on the main nameplate. If the
product is installed as part of a larger machine, this
larger machine is in turn subject to EU directives
and must therefore obtain a general CE mark for the
machine as a whole. The machine must not enter
circulation in the EU until this is done. The legal
requirements corresponding to the CE mark can be
found in section "Other applicable standards / rules".
Personnel requirements
The product may only be used, installed, removed,
operated and maintained by specialist personnel.
For the purposes of these instructions, a specialist
is defined as someone who, on the basis of their
education, expertise and professional experience,
is able to correctly evaluate and carry out the tasks
and duties assigned to him/her, and identify and
correct potential hazards. Skilled, semi-skilled or
trained personnel may not use this product under
their own responsibility unless they have the required
specialist knowledge. Otherwise, they may only
use the product under the constant supervision of
a specialist person.
Compliance with other rules and instructions
Carry out transport and installation/repair activities
only in accordance with the valid and applicable
safety and accident prevention regulations issued
by the trade associations.
The valve contains hydraulic oil. The normal lo-
cal environmental protection requirements must
therefore be met when handling the product. The
particular circumstances of each place of installation
