• The manufacturer must always be consulted before any maintenance or repair work is carried out!
Repairs should preferably always be carried out by the manufacturer! Exceptions can be made for non-

with on-site by the operator's qualified staff (authorised personnel). Non-compliance will result in the
ATEX certification being revoked!
• For ATEX-certified products, the repair or replacement of fan components is expressly only permitted
after consultation with the manufacturer and only if the manufacturer's original parts are used!
• After repair, the fan/system must be subjected to an inspection in accordance with local conditions,
regulations and laws (in Germany: §14 Abs 6 der BetrSichV Industrial Safety Regulation). This does not
apply to repairs carried out by the manufacturer.
