7.1 Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance intervals depend very much on the individual operating conditions. The
intervals given below are considered as starting values which should be shortened or ex-
tended as appropriate. Particularly harsh applications or heavy duty operation, such as high
dust loads in the environment or in the process gas, other contamination or ingress of pro-
cess material, can make it necessary to shorten the maintenance intervals significantly.
