Regular Inspection &
Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of hose sets is important to ensure
safe operation throughout their lifetime. This task must be performed
by a qualified person. Maintenance must be performed in an unpressur-
ised condition and defective hose sets or damaged components must be
replaced immediately. Additional pressure testing has to be performed to
verify the safe condition of the hose. Always perform a visual inspection in
advance of each usage.
Observe all necessary safety precautions during pressure testing. Faulty,
damaged or worn-out components may in extreme
cases lead to fatal hose failure, ultimately resulting
in personal injury, damage to objects and/or pollu-
tion of the environment.
Don´t forget to connect Dust Caps
to avoid system contamination
