Notes on cleaning metering pumps with hygienic pump head
WARNING!
Possible sparking
Once the large single-hinge clamps have been opened,
parts can fall out of the discharge and suction valve and
cause sparking.
–
Only open the large single-hinge clamps away from
an explosive atmosphere and take care of the parts.
CAUTION!
Parts can fall out of the valves - especially the discharge
valve - and become damaged, making them unsuitable
for hygienic use.
–
Carefully open the large single-hinge clamps and
take care of the parts.
NOTICE!
–
Only tighten the single-hinge clamps by hand. Do
not use any tools or extension!
