Hinweise zur Sicherheit
des Personals
Das Gerät ist dank seiner Funktionen ausge-
sprochen einfach und zuverlässig. Es empfiehlt
sich, die folgenden Vorschriften zu beachten, um
Gefahren für den Bediener zu vermeiden.
Das Gerät muss einer regelmäßigen Wartung un-
terzogen werden (eine unsachgemäße Wartung
und Verwendung beeinträchtigen die Sicherheit
des Geräts). Vor der ersten Inbetriebnahme des
Geräts sind diese Anleitungen sorgfältig zu le-
sen. Sollte ein Teil dieser Anleitungen nicht klar
und deutlich sein, ist der eigene Händler oder
MAHLE Aftermarket Italy zu kontaktieren.
nEs ist verboten, das Gerät mit Wasser oder
Flüssigkeiten in Kontakt zu bringen.
nWährend der Verwendung des Geräts nicht
im Raum/Fahrzeug bleiben (Gefahr von Un-
wohlsein und Risiko für die Gesundheit).
nEs ist von grundlegender Wichtigkeit,
dass das vom Gerät erzeugte Ozon aus
dem Fahrzeug/Raum austritt, um schwer-
wiegende Risiken für die Gesundheit des
Personals zu vermeiden, das am Gerät/
Fahrzeug/Raum arbeitet oder nahe daran
vorbeigeht.
nDieses Gerät gehört zu Hochspannungs-
produkten und muss daher auf sichere Wei-
se positioniert werden.
nDas Gebläse und der Luftfluss können
durch Fremdkörper oder Metalleinsätze be-
hindert werden. Hierdurch werden Strom-
schläge vermieden und die Geräteleistun-
gen reduziert.
nDie Unternehmen, die mit der Wartung des
Geräts betraut sind, dürfen weder Teile,
noch die mechanischen und elektronischen
Leistungen dieses Geräts abändern.
nDer Anschluss an die Versorgung des Ge-
räts muss gemäß den nationalen Verkabe-
lungsrichtlinien erfolgen und das Versor-
gungskabel für die Erdung muss zuverlässig
sein (wenn eine Versorgungsvorrichtung
von 110-230 VAC verwendet wird).
Arbeitsort: Das Gerät arbeitet mit interner Er-
zeugung von Ozon O3.
O3 Ozon, ist tödlich, wenn es eingeatmet wird,
verursacht schwere Hautverbrennungen, Augen-
schäden und Organschäden nach längerer oder
wiederholter Aussetzung, ist ausgesprochen
giftig für das Wasserleben, kann einen Brand
verursachen oder verstärken (oxidierend) und zu
schwerwiegenden Augenschäden führen. Endo-
krine Störungen sind möglich.
Kann reizende Auswirkungen auf die Augen-
schleimhäute und die oberen Atemwege haben,
Husten, Lungenerkrankungen und Beschwer-
den der Atemfunktionen hervorrufen.
O3 Ozon-Gas ist definiert (Europäische Chemi-
kalienagentur ECHA, weitere Informationen sind
