NOTICE!
If the specified limit values are exceeded, use cooling units made of other
materials.
Please consult BOGE's service department.
WARNING!
If the cooling water data changes, the cooling units may have to be reconfig-
ured. Incorrectly configured cooling units may cause malfunctions and cause
the compressor to switch off!
Please consult BOGE.
