Appropriate Use; Hazard Warnings; Safety Guidelines - RIEGLER VFR 33 S Instrucciones De Uso

The life of a pneumatic system depends mainly upon the prepa-
ration of the compressed air. For this reason, filters, regulators,
filter regulators and lubricators are employed as service units in
every pneumatic control system, but they must be properly han-
dled and above all properly serviced.

APPROPRIATE USE

The maintenance units of the "variobloc" series have been
solely designed for the following purpose:
Conditioning of compressed air out of air pipes.
Application ranges:
You will find the use of compressed air maintenance units in
fabrication, manufacturing and inspection. The units can be
used in almost all industrial areas: Engineering, electronic and
automotive industry and others.
!
These units must only be used for the above mentioned
purpose, for which they had been designed. Any in-
appropriate use shall be viewed as improper use. The
manufacturer is not liable for damages which result
from any improper use! The risk lies exclusively with
the user.

HAZARD WARNINGS

Possible hazards when using the product/risk of the user or for
third parties.
!
Maintenance units can be dangerous if the safety
guidelines are not respected. Wrong operating and dis-
regard of safety guidelines can result in grievous bodily
harm and property damages.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

The operator/user should become familiar with the functioning,
installing and using the devices.
The units must only be taken into service by trained and qual-
ified persons.
Children may never operate this tool. Juveniles and persons
with limited mental and physical abilities are only allowed to
use this tool after instruction and only under supervision.
Respect the valid laws and regulations of health and occupa-
tional safety as well as other hazard informations for your own
security and the one of other people. Pay attention to the man-
ufacturer's informations concerning operation and security, for
example the "Machi nery Directive" or other application-specific
guidelines.
While working with compressed air – depending on its spe-
cific use - you have to wear suiting safety clothes and body
protection ( i.e. protective goggles, working gloves, mouth and
hearing protection)
Always check the flow direction marked on the units before
mounting them.
Check all connections and hoses for a good fit and proper
functioning. Loose and damaged hoses can be a serious
danger of injuries. Use safety couplings.
The coupling plug must only be plugged into fitting couplings.
You can hear the plug snapping in.
Make sure there are no visible damages on the units. Do not
use the units with a malfunction or a visible damage.
Pay attention to the max. operating pressure of the units. The
maximum operating pressures and max. temperatures must
never be exeeded.
Depressurize units prior to servicing, otherwise you risk an
accident.
Before starting, check the connections of units and retighten if
necessary. Relieve pressure on regulator and filter regulator by
turning the knob to the left.
Do not settle any equipment with plastic bowls at eye level.
The units must not be alienated or modified.
STARTING AND TAKING INTO SERVICE
Unpack the units thoroughly and make sure that no packaging
parts get into the devices. Depressurize the units prior to ser-
vicing, otherwise you risk an accident. Before starting, check
the connections of the units and retighten if necessary. Relieve
pressure on regulator and filter regulator by turning the knob to
the left. Observe the marked flow direction on the units before
mounting them!
INSTALLATION
The flow direction is indicated by an arrow on the cover. Install
as close to consumer as possible (distance max. 5 m).
Position: vertical (regulator: random). The service units are
assembled for left-to-right flow direction. If the flow direction
is reversed, rotate the pressure gauge and reservoir by 180°
and mount after that. If you do not wish to install the devices
directly in the pipework, use fasteners and connectors supplied
by the manufacturer.
Notes on the use of polycarbonate bowls
Only use mineral oil and ensure that the bowls do not come in
contact with substances which can damage the plastic. Par-
ticularly dangerous are synthetic oils, antifreezes, cleaners and
solvents. Have a loot at the oils that we recommend.
Clean the bowls using only tepid water.
Regular replacement of bowls (about every 3 years) is recom-
mended for safety reasons.
If cracks form or cloudiness occurs, replace the bowls immediately.
The protective metal cage can be retrofitted and protects
against mechanical damage. It prevents hazards that may
occur if a bowl bursts.
Under hard or extreme operating conditions (solvent-containing
vapors), metal bowls and metal lubricators domes are to be used.
