1.6.6 Maintenance and repair
Unfavourable operating conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals.
The factors listed below are unfavourable because they either attack the
separator material directly or impair the lubrication/cooling system:
•
Aggressive product (chemical or physical)
•
High product temperature
•
Product with grease-decaying properties
•
Environment: Temperature, dust, vapours

Particularly high-stressed separator
parts like
– threaded ring,
– spindle and
– bowl shell
must be checked regularly to assure
safe and efficient operation.
Timely maintenance of the separator and replacement of worn or damaged ma-
chine parts is essential for safe operation of the machine.
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by the customer to the ex-
tent as described in this instruction manual.
Maintenance and repair work not described in this manual may only be
carried out by the manufacturer or by "repair shops" authorized by the
manufacturer.
We, therefore, recommend in your own interest to have your separator in-
spected by our service engineers at regular intervals. Such inspections will keep
your separator working reliably and prevent undesirable shut-downs.

Before maintenance and servicing:
•
Switch off all electrical appliances
via the main switch,
•
Secure installation against unin-
tended re-starting with locking de-
vice.
It is vital that only genuine spare parts from Westfalia Separator are used.
Otherwise, safety risks may arise (see section
1.5 ).
