Care and maintenance 8.
A visual inspection needs to be performed after each use, but at least once every year. Every
3 years, or if there is a doubt about the safety or reliability, a functional check should be also
performed (In so doing, also heed the corresponding applicable national and international
specifications related to the maintenance intervals of rescue devices). In the Federal
Republic of Germany, regular safety technology tests are prescribed in accordance with the
regulations of Statutory Accident Insurance (GUV).
ATTENTION!
Clean off any dirt before controlling the equipment!
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
To perform maintenance and repairs, personal safety equipment appropriate
for the work is an absolute requirement.
Tests to be performed:
Visual inspection
Mobile Selection Manifold
• Mobile Selection Manifold without damage and deformation,
• General leak-proofness (leakages),

• All screw connections tightened,
• Identification plate and direction symbols legible,
• Couplings easy to connect,
• Dust caps in place.
• All protective covers in place and undamaged.
Hoses
• Visual inspection for obvious damage,

• No additional movement of the cylinder when the control valve is released during the
process (dead man circuit),

NOTE:
Before the functional check of the Mobile Selection Manifold, check the additional
