5.7 ATEX Motors
ATEX motors can only be replaced as complete units. As
required by EN ISO 60079, repair of ATEX motors is exclu-
sively performed by the manufacturer of the motor.
Upon replacement of the motor, ensure exact axial alignment
of all parts connected to or coming in contact with the motor
shaft. Also see 5.6.
5.8 Cleaning
Cleaning or maintenance must not damage or alter the ap-
pliance and its component parts to the detriment of health
and safety protection, and must not, for instance, a
ff
ect the
balancing of the impeller.
No agents / tools are to be used for cleaning that may lead to
electrostatic charge build-up or may give rise to other risks.
5.9 Repair and Replacement of Parts of Elektror ATEX
Products
When using spare parts and accessories for explosion pro-
tected blowers made by Elektror, be sure to apply and ad-
here to the EU regulations or applicable national regulations
for explosion protection. Within the territory of the Federal
Republic of Germany, these especially include the require-
ments set forth in TRBS 1201-3 and §14 (6) of the BetrSichV.
Within the EU, all member states have set in force corre-
sponding legal requirements and regulations which must be
adhered to.
Outside the European Union, the buyer, distributor and user
must adhere to the laws, regulations and statutes relating to
explosion protection, applicable at the operating site of the
respective Elektror ATEX product.

In Germany and diverse other European countries you may
alternatively avail yourself or our service contractors for re-
pair or replacement of parts. Please inquire with our Product
management ([email protected]) for possibilities in your
country.
These service partners are bound by a contract with Elektror
and have been trained to service our ATEX blowers. Careful
adherence to the ATEX regulations applicable throughout the
EU, but also to the speci
fi
c requirements we have de
fi
ned as
the manufacturer to enhance the safety of our ATEX prod-
ucts, is guaranteed by our service partners.
Deviations from the procedures required to maintain safety
and health protection or explosion protection on the part of
the customer may lead to loss of warranty and exclusion of
liability by Elektror.
As speci
fi
ed by law, the user is responsible for safety and
health protection during operation as well as for trouble-free
operation.
According to the ATEX directive for explosion protection as
well as the regulations and standards based on it, require-
ments detailing admissible and inadmissible material com-
binations have been published. Inadmissible material com-
binations may render ine
ff
ective any constructive measures
aimed at achieving explosion protection. This may substan-
tially increase the explosion risk entailed in ATEX products.
Spare parts list of non-explosion-protected devices must not
be applied to ATEX appliances and are therefore void.
Recommendation: Use only original spare parts provided by
Elektror as this will enable low-risk replacement.
