Important Safety Information
0.1 Hazards caused by materials and substances
1
Hazardous substances may escape from the filter, condensate or the
oil. Take suitable precautions (e. g. gloves, goggles or gas mask).
Observe all safety regulations.
2
When toxic gases or vapors are pumped, an exhaust line must be
fitted in accordance with the safety regulations relating to protection
against poisonous vapors.
3
Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment.
Before beginning with any work, first find out whether any parts are
contaminated.
Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precau tions
when handling contaminated parts; For example wear gloves, face
protection or breathing protection.
If there exists a potential hazard, the filter or the separator must be
decontaminated before starting with any maintenance work.
The filter pot may be as hot as 90 °C.
There is the danger of receiving burns.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
For professional decontamination we recommend our service.
4
The equipment must be packed in such a way, that it will not be dam-
aged during shipping and so that any contaminants are not released
from the package.
5
When disposing of used oil and spent filter and filter elements, please
observe the relevant environmental protection regulations.
6
The ARS can be operated with perfluoropolyether
(PFPE)
as lubricant.
When handling PFPE you should observe the following:
During thermal decomposition at temperatures over 290 °C toxic and
corrosive gases are released. When handling PFPE keep it away from
open fires. Do not smoke with PFPE on your fingers.
Touch the inner sections of the pumps only while wearing clean gloves,
and use clean tools;
do the necessary work in clean and dry rooms;
after having removed the pump from its packaging, start it up as
quickly as possible;
as cleaning agents solvents based on hydrofluorether compounds may
be used..
0.2 Risk of damaging the device
1
The filter element should be changed regularly, depending on the oper-
ating conditions.
Clogged filters will increase the pump’s temperature.
2
Only original filter elements guarantee the function of the pressure relief
valve.
