1.1 Safety
When working the appropriate accident prevention regulations (in Germany BGV C22) must be followed.
For safety reasons, especially when entering the tank, it is important that a second person is present.
Furthermore, when carrying out assembly and installation work, inspection, maintenance and repairs, all
work regulations and norms must be followed. You will find the advice in the appropriate sections of these
instructions.
The complete system must always be out of operation and guarded against unauthorized use when
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 other manufacturers' accessories can impair the
function of the system and liability for any resulting damages will no longer be covered under the
guarantee.
