residual risk of a case of fire. It is important to have the approval of us with changes in the use of the
filter system in writing.
CE –Declaration of Conformity
As a rule we deliver the filter system with a CE - declaration of conformity. When assembled with other
parts it becomes a higher - ranking filter system for which you, as operator, have the duty to make a
danger analysis and you must provide a CE - declaration of conformity for the whole filter system.
Duty of Information
Sparks, cigarette stubs or similar may not be sucked into the filtering device.
Our plants may be used only as described in the operating manual and as intended. Changes in the
use require our expressly written permission.
Each use going beyond it is not considered as intended, the manufacturer / supplier can not be made
liable for developing damages which result from it. The risk carries the operator.
Intended use of the Atmos pre-filters
It is not allowed sucking off dust, smoke, gases and media which do not correspond with this
operating instruction, take notice of chapter 2.4. The media exhausted may be classified in no
dust explosion class (St-Class).
Start-up, Maintenance and Service
Refer to maintenance and safety instructions in the operating manual.
