Information concerning the dangers
Danger of explosion! If there are inflammable liquid or gas leaks it
is imperative that sparks be avoided by fixtures and fittings.
Vetter Leak Sealers must only be filled when in the correctly ten-
sioned condition. Only fill the leak sealers until the leak is sealed
(max. operating pressure 1.5 bar and 12 bar). Any additional filling
of the leak sealer can damage the pipe or the tank by built up
pressures
A leak in a tank or container is a weak point. Therefore avoid any
additional damage by filling the leak sealer so that no more liquid
or gas escapes. This can be the case at a point lower than the ma-
ximum permissible operating pressure.

Warning information
The leak sealers and the accessories are to be inspected for per-
fect condition before and after use. Damaged seals or seals and
accessories which are functionally limited present a source of dan-
ger and must not be used!
All controllers are equipped with a safety valve that corresponds
to the maximum permitted operation pressure for leak sealers.
These safety valves will blow when the maximum operating pres-
sure is exceeded.
The tolerance for the opening and closing of the safety valves
must be a maximum of ± 10 %. The set pressure must not be chan-
ged. Should the seal on the upper part of the valve be removed
then safe operation can no longer be guaranteed. The safety valve
must be exchanged. The permitted input pressure at the control-
ler must not be exceeded (marked on the input coupling).
Before application of the leak sealer, cover sharp edges and/or
pointed positions in the area of the leak by using dimensioned
sealing plates. In doing this you avoid damage to the leak sealers
as well as the unintended escape of dangerous liquids and gases.
