III. END CAP REMOVAL
WARNING
To reduce the risks associated with crush or impact related injuries:
• Always ensure the membrane contactor is properly secured. Be sure the
membrane contactor cannot tip, roll, fall, slide or make any movement that
may cause injury or damage to other system components.
• No liquid, vacuum or sweep gas should be running through the contactor
when changing cartridges or other parts. Membrane contactors should be
completely drained of liquid before attempting to service.
• Care must be taken not to hit or jar (shock) the membrane contactor.
To reduce the risks associated with lifting or moving:
• Always consult the product datasheet or operating guide for membrane
contactor weights. Use appropriately rated lifting equipment for lifting or
moving heavy membrane contactors.
• Drain liquid from the contactor before moving.
Do not
move a membrane
contactor while it contains liquid.
NOTICE
• To avoid contamination, gloves are recommended when handling the
membrane cartridges.
