7.4.1 Maintenance Intervals NOTE

Component failure due to vibration damage! During operation, vibration can cause screw and clamp connections to become loose or the device to be subjected to severe strain, thus possibly resulting in a component failure. The failure of components or a device malfunction can cause material damage and consequential damage. • Check the installed device for loose connections at regular intervals. • Pay attention to vibration damage during maintenance and inspection. • Adapt the maintenance intervals according to the operating conditions of the plant. After start-up, begin with short maintenance intervals at first. If no damage occurs, the maintenance intervals can be adapted incrementally until the intervals specified in the instructions are reached.

Maintenance Intervals and Methods

Reduce the maintenance intervals by 30% in the event of: – Deviation from the preferred installation position of the device (see Section 5.2.2 Installation Position) – Vibrations that occur in the plant that are NOT caused by the device and CANNOT be prevented.

If the device is NOT operated for a prolonged period of time, then we recommend that a complete functional capability check be performed on the device prior to restart (see Section 6.2 Function Check/Trial Run ).

The specified times of the maintenance intervals are based on single-shift operation (8 hours per working day, 12 months per year) of the device and operation with Cleaning medium: Water Media pressure: 2 bar (43.5 psi g) Media temperature: +25 °C (+77 °F)

Interval:

h O = operating hours of the device

Method:

V = visual inspection F = function check M = measurement C = cleaning* R = replacement

d = daily

w = weekly m = monthly

¼ y = every three months

½ y = every six months y = annually S = according to number of strokes *The cleaning intervals are to be defined by the owner in accordance with operating conditions.
