To reduce the risks associated with explosion:
• Only use replacement parts supplied by 3M for this product.
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.
• 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.
NOTICE
• To avoid contamination, gloves are recommended when handling the
membrane cartridges.
CARTRIDGE INSERTION STEPS
A.
Unwrap the new replacement cartridge.
B.
Begin by placing the large O-rings (2-263) into the grooves near the
end of the new cartridge. Be sure the O-rings are completely inside
of the groove. Do this for both ends of the cartridge.
C.
It is recommended to apply a thin coat of a 50/50 mixture of water
and glycerin to the outside of the cartridge.
Care should be taken with the exposed fibers on the face of the
cartridge. Do not allow any contact that risks contaminants coming
into contact with the fibers, including the 50/50 water and glycerin
solution.
D.
Insert the cartridge into the vessel.
E.
The cartridge should be inserted far enough into the vessel so it is
past the groove near the end on the inside of the vessel.
