Limitation of
liability
Before installing the PKL read these operating instructions carefully. It is
the basis for any action when dealing with the PKL, and may be used for
training purposes. The operating instructions should be subsequently
stored at the operation site.
The target group for these operating instructions is technical staff, who
have basic knowledge in pneumatics and mechanics.
Therefore, only staff who are trained in these fields may work on the PKL.
The PKL may only be installed, put into operation, maintained, troubleshot
and disassembled by persons authorised by the operator.

Falling parts
General areas of application of the PKL are for knocking off adhesive bulk
materials from container walls (e.g. silos, hoppers, filter outlets, pipelines
and reactors) and for emptying residues from weighing containers. The
PKL also prevent bridging and rat-holing, so that the material can continuously flow.
The PKL can be used outdoors and in dusty environments, however not in
water or any other liquids.
PKL may only be operated with a timed on/off sequence.
Any other use is considered improper.
Installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting of the PKL
may only be performed by authorised qualified personnel
All handling of the PKL is the responsibility of the operator.

Noise level
Dimensions
PKL
190 /
450 /
740
The noise level of the PKL may exceed 80 dB(A) (single noise incident).
Depending on the impact sequence the continuous noise level is below
this value.
The PKL should be preferably mounted with the EE kit. The noise reduction is about ca. 5 dB(A) (single noise incident).
The sound em itted by the PKL can be dampened by hoods (on request).
This is only worthwhile if the impacted sheet metal is also insulated (e.g.
by heat insulation material).
