10.6 Bladder replacement
In the unlikely event of a rupture, the bladder must be replaced immediately.
Since the lack of a bladder or its damages determines a decrease of performance of the foam re ghting system served by the
bladder tank, it is highly recommended that the end user always keeps a spare bladder readily available for replacement
within 24 hours.
Replacement bladders should be original manufactured by Viking to t properly the tank’s shape and to secure the design
performance of the equipment. Viking is not responsible for the overall performance of the supplied bladder tank if non
original spare parts are installed. The warranty on the equipments provided by Viking, in such case, expires automatically
and immediately.
The replacement of used bladders is likely to put the operator in contact with foam. Only skilled and experienced personnel must
carry out this task. The foam concentrate Material Safety Data Sheet must be consulted prior to make any activity. The personnel
must be equipped with individual protection equipments (gloves, glasses, protective clothing).
The surfaces in contact with foam (bladder and tank shell) easily become slippery. Attention must be paid to avoid accidents.
