Maintenance
Any opening of the housing that is not described in
this operating manual may only be carried out by
Customer Service staff or persons designated by
Customer Service!
Metallic housings must be grounded properly so as
to prevent them from carrying current. Otherwise
they are extremely dangerous because the
housings may be live due to damage to the
machine!
Since a check to ensure a de-energized state* is
mandatory every time the device is opened, only
qualified electricians may open the device!
* Germany: check in accordance with DIN
VDE 0701-1.
Maintenance of safety-relevant compo-
nents
The unit has been designed for a service life of 10
years from the date of manufacture. No liability is
accepted for damages arising from operation of the
unit after this period.
Safety-relevant components must be checked
regularly and replaced as required. This work must
be carried out solely by BEGO customer service or
by repair centres authorised by BEGO customer
service. To that end, users are recommended to
take out a maintenance agreement covering annual
checks (or checks after every 10,000 castings) and
a check after five years (or after 50,000 castings).
Regular maintenance
Regular maintenance is required to ensure correct
operation. For the display of the number of castings
