WARNING
Danger due to vacuum and gauge pressure:
sudden escape of fluids (skin and eye
injuries),
sudden drawing in of hair and clothing!
Danger due to escaping fluid: Burns!
Use mounting elements, connections, lines,
fittings and containers with sufficient freedom
from leaks and strength for the pressures which
occur.
Check the mounting elements, connections,
lines, fittings and containers for strength, leaks
and firm seating at regular intervals!
