2.2 General
information
Read the EU Material Safety Data Sheet on
diesel fuel and observe the information
contained in it regarding handling diesel fuel.
•
Diesel fuel and fuel fumes are damaging to
health.
•
Do not inhale them, let them get in your
eyes or come into direct contact with bare
skin.
•
Only complete assembly work when the
engine has stopped.
•
Relieve pressurised lines before starting
any work.
•
If fuel escapes, a collecting vessel must be
placed under the vehicle to prevent
environmental pollution.
•
Only complete work for which you have
been trained and received the necessary
instruction.
2.3 Intended
use
The various models of the ProVent series are
exclusively intended for mechanical oil
separation of blow-by-gas or for crankcase
ventilation of diesel and gas engines. Any
other use above or beyond this is considered
unintended use. The manufacturer/supplier is
not considered liable for damage resulting
from unintended use.
Intended use also includes observing the
information in the installation and
maintenance manual and meeting all the
inspection and maintenance conditions.
The operator is obliged to check the ProVent
once a week for externally recognisable
damage and defects, and to immediately
report any changes which have occurred
(including in the operating behaviour), which
impair the functional safety.
All labels and identifications on the ProVent
must be kept in legible condition.
The crankcase ventilation system may only
be serviced by trained and authorized
personnel.
All ProVent systems are built according to
state-of-the-art technology and the
recognised safety-related rules. However, the
functional safety of connected equipment can
be at risk when:
•
A ProVent system is used improperly,
•
the operating conditions have changed,
•
reconstructions have been made without
prior consultation with the manufacturer,
•
the necessary maintenance and repair work
has been neglected.
Only use models of the ProVent series when
in proper technical condition and in
accordance with the technical design in a
safety and danger-conscious manner while
observing the installation and maintenance
manual! Investigate faults (or have them
investigated) immediately, particularly those
which could impair safety!
