Personal safety informa-
tion
The equipment is particularly simple and reliable
due to its functions. We recommend to follow
the following prescriptions during the use of the
equipment to avoid hazards for the operator.
The equipment needs to be regularly serviced
(incorrect maintenance/use will compromise the
equipment's safety). Before operating the equip-
ment for the first time, read these instructions
carefully. If any part of the instructions is unclear,
contact your reseller or MAHLE Aftermarket Italy.
n Any contact of the equipment with water or
fluids is forbidden. When using the equip-
ment, do not stay in the same room/vehicle
(due to discomfort and health hazards).
It is essential to prevent the ozone produced
n
by the equipment from escaping from the
vehicle/room in order to avoid serious risks
to the health of personnel working or pass-
ing near the device/vehicle/room.
This equipment (inside) belongs to high
n
voltage products, should be placed safely
and well ventilated.
The air flow shall not be blocked by foreign
n
bodies or metal inserts, in order to avoid
electric shock and reduce the product per-
formance.
Company in charge of equipment main-
n
tenance shall not modify any part of the
equipment or its mechanical and electronic
performance.
n The machine power supply wiring must
be conducted in accordance with national
wiring rules, and the power supply cord to
11
external reliable grounding wire connection
(if the 110-230 VAC power accessory is
used).
Workplace: The equipment operates with inter-
nal generation of O3 ozone.
O3 ozone, this substance is fatal if inhaled, caus-
es severe skin burns and eye damage, causes
damage to organs through prolonged or repeat-
ed exposure, is very toxic to aquatic life with long
lasting effects, may cause or intensify fire (oxi-
diser) and causes serious eye damage. Possibly
Endocrine Disrupting
It can cause irritative effects on the eye mucous
membranes and the first airways, coughing,
bronchoconstructive phenomena and alteration
of respiratory function.
