2.1Safety Instructions
Maintenance work may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
4Create atmospheric pressure in the ejector’s compressed air circuit before working on the system!
WARNING
Failure to follow the instructions in these Maintenance instructions may result in in-
juries!
4Read the Maintenance instructions carefully and observe the contents.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to incorrect maintenance or troubleshooting
4Check the proper functioning of the product, especially the safety features, after every
maintenance or troubleshooting operation.
NOTE
Incorrect maintenance work
Damage to the ejector!
4Always switch off the supply voltage before carrying out maintenance work.
4Secure it so that it cannot be switched back on.
4The ejector must be operated only with a silencer and press-in screen(s).
2.2Illustrations
The illustrations shown below may deviate from the customer’s version because they serve as
examples of different versions of the product.
2.3Cleaning the Ejector
1. For cleaning, do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as industrial alcohol, white spirit or thin-
ners. Only use cleaning agents with pH 7–12.
2. Remove dirt on the exterior of the device with a soft cloth and soap suds at a maximum tempera-
ture of 60°C. Make sure that the silencer is not soaked in soapy water.
3. Ensure that no moisture can reach the electrical connection or other electrical components.

2.4Replacing the Silencer Insert
Heavy infiltration of dust, oil, and so on, may contaminate the silencer insert and reduce the suction ca-
pacity. Cleaning the silencer insert is not recommended due to the capillary effect of the porous material.
If the suction capacity decreases, replace the silencer insert:
üDeactivate the ejector and depressurize the pneumatic systems.
1. Place a small flat screwdriver on the ejector as
shown and loosen the clamp.
2. Remove the clamp.
3. Then remove the silencer and silencer insert
from the ejector.

2 Maintenance
8 / 16 EN-US · 30.30.01.03570 · 00 · 08/23
4. Pull the silencer insert out of the housing and
dispose of it.
5. Insert the new silencer insert into the housing
and reinstall the silencer.
6. Mount the clamp in the correct position.
ðThe clamp is mounted flush with the un-
derside of the ejector and the clamp legs
both lie in the grooves. It does not pro-
trude from the ejector.
7. Check that the silencer is held tightly by
pulling on the housing (hand-tight).

6. Install the new valve in the reverse order.
2.6Changing the Piston
CAUTION
The valve piston flies out of the housing borehole at high speed due to a strong
compressed air pulse.
Risk of injury to persons, and eye injuries in particular!
4Wear eye protection.
4Do not look into the housing borehole for the valve piston at the moment that com-
pressed air is introduced into the compressed air connection.
4When disassembling the valve piston, start with a small amount of compressed air and
slowly increase the pressure until the valve piston comes loose and moves out of the
housing borehole.

5. Move the valve piston (2) out of the housing
borehole by introducing compressed air (p)
into the compressed air connection (3). Start
with a small amount of compressed air and
slowly increase the pressure until the valve pis-
ton (2) comes loose and moves out of the
housing borehole.
