4.5.2 Checking readiness for operation
NOTE!
Integration into the EMERGENCY STOP system
A Börger machine must be integrated in an EMERGENCY STOP
system.
— It is only permissible to do without an emergency stop device
if the emergency stop device would not reduce the stopping
time and if it would not enable the special measures required
to deal with the risk to be taken.
— The normal shutdown equipment must then be labeled
accordingly.
NOTE!
The quench fluid is used for monitoring the integrity of the
mechanical seals, and also for protection, lubrication and cooling
of the mechanical seals.

functions” on page 37.
— Ensure that the Börger machine is integrated into an emer-
gency stop system, or, if such a system is not mandatory, that
the shutdown device is adequately labeled.
1. If your Börger machine was delivered with special accesso-
ries, then ensure that these accessories are installed cor-
rectly and ready for operation. This especially applies to
devices used for safety and monitoring system functionality.
Adhere to the relevant operating manuals for the accessories.
2. Ensure that you have removed the transport lock from the
breather system on the drive if one was present according
to the operating manual of the drive manufacturer.
3. Check the oil level in the gear unit of the Börger machine.
On standing versions, the oil level must reach at least
halfway up the oil sight glass. If this is not the case, the gear
oil (cf. data sheet) must be refilled, see
