Safety instructions
The filter has been built according to state-of-the-art technology and actual safety stan-
dards. However, there is a risk of danger that every person working with the filter must be
aware of. In particular, improper handling of compressed air may result in serious injury
or death. If you are not experienced in using pressure equipment, please ask the relevant
experts for help.
In order to prevent personal injury or damage to the equipment, the safety notes must
be observed when using this filter.
Observe the specific safety notes in the relevant chapters.
Observe the legal guidelines and the accident prevention regulations.
Observe the safety notes of the local site regulations.
Overpressure
The filter is pressurised. Suddenly escaping compressed air may result in serious injury.
Do not carry out mechanical work on the filter as long as the filter is pressurized.
Hot surfaces
Depending on the temperature of the compressed air the filter surfaces may be very hot.
Unprotected touching of these surfaces may cause burns. Avoid direct contact to these
surfaces. Restrict access to the surfaces, if necessary, or install thermal insulation on the
hot components. Never exceed the maximum allowable temperature of the filter.
Overload
The filter must only be operated with compressed air within the operating conditions.
Exceeding the maximum allowable operating conditions may result in serious injury or
death. It is the duty of the operator to ensure that the connected pressure source is safe-
guarded that the maximum allowable operating pressure and the minimum and maximum
allowable temperatures are not exceeded.
Unauthorized modifications
Modifications to the filter may result in dangerous operating states. Violations may cause
serious injury or death. Never modify the filter function by means of conversions.
Never carry out welding work on pressure-bearing parts. Any modifications of the filter
must be agreed on with the manufacturer and confirmed in writing.
Suspected misuse
Using the filter for unintended purposes may result in dangerous situations. Violations may
cause serious injury or death. Never use the filter as a climbing aid. Never use the filter as a
support for external weight loads. Never use filter components for unintended application
purposes.
