56 Instructions Handbook 1179.2948.02 ─ 01
Due to normal wear, the performance of any system can degrade over time. This per-
formance degradation can also impair system safety. To prevent any risks, we recom-
mend a regular safety and performance check of the chamber once a year.
9.3 Preparing the Chamber for Maintenance
Before carrying out any of the maintenance tasks described in Chapter 9.4, "Perform-
ing Maintenance Tasks" , on page 56, perform the following steps.
1. Make sure that nobody uses the chamber during maintenance. Take the steps that
are stipulated in your company for that purpose.
2. Deactivate the chamber. See Chapter 7.1, "Activating the Chamber" , on page 42.
3. Disconnect the chamber from the compressed-air supply. See "To disconnect from
compressed air" on page 63.
4. If you need to move the chamber to a different location for maintenance, follow the
instructions in "Correct lifting and carrying" on page 21.
9.4 Performing Maintenance Tasks
The recommended intervals are listed in Table 9-1 .
