In the event that repairs are necessary a number of options
are available to you to ensure any system down time is kept to
a minimum:
– Have the pump repaired on the spot by our PFEIFFER
Service Engineers;
– Return the pump to the manufacturer for repairs;
– Replace the pump.
Local PFEIFFER representatives can provide full details.
Before Returning:
➡
Please attach a clearly visible notice "Free of harmful sub-
stances" (both on the unit and also on the delivery note
and any accompanying letters).
"Harmful substances" are substances and preparations as
defined in the current, local, dangerous substances regulati-
ons; in the U.S.A. as "materials in accordance with the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) 49 Part 173.240 Definition and
Preparation".
We will carry out the decontamination and invoice this work
to you if you have not attached this note. This also applies
where the operator does not have the facilities to carry out
the decontamination work. Units which are contaminated
microbiologically, explosively or radioactively cannot be
accepted as a matter of principle.
Fill Out The Declaration Of Contamination
➡
In every case the "Declaration of Contamination" must be
completed diligently and truthfully.
➡
A copy of the completed declaration must accompany the
unit; any additional copies must be sent to your local
PFEIFFER Service Center.
Please get in touch with your local PFEIFFER representatives
if there are any questions regarding contamination.
Decontaminate units before returning or possi-
ble disposal. Do not return any units which are
microbiologically, explosively or radioactively
contaminated.

the following instructions concerning shipping must be follo-
wed:
