Maintenance work to be completed every 12 months
Check mufflers
The dryer is either equipped with a standard muffler or a fine filter muffler. If the
respective muffler becomes blocked, a dam pressure is generated which in
extreme cases may cause the muffler to burst.
Hazard caused by blocked muffler!
Blocked mufflers can cause a dangerous overpressure to build up which
may cause the mufflers to burst. Flying fragments may cause personal
injury and damage to property.
Therefore, mufflers must be checked at least once a year and cleaned
(
K-MT 1-2
) or renewed (
K-MT 3-8
) if they are contaminated.
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffler:
A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing.
Particles carried in the air flow act like bullets and can injure your eyes
or skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the
vicinity of the dryer!
The correct procedures for all muffler versions are described below.
