Repairs may be carried out solely by BEGO
customer service or by persons authorised by
BEGO 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 after every intervention in the
machine (Germany: check in accordance with DIN
VDE 0701-1), only qualified electricians may open
the machine!
Only BEGO replacement and wearing parts may be
used.
Installation
The unit is categorised under protection class 1 and
may only be connected to properly earthed power
sources (earth contact sockets).
When laying cables and hoses, ensure that they are
protected from hot components (e.g., moulds).
The cooling water temperature must never drop
below 10°C (50°F). Otherwise condensation water
may land on the hot moulds and vaporize explo-
sively.
Danger of burns when draining the cooling water! If
there was casting beforehand, the water can reach
temperatures of up to 70 °C.
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).
