SECTION 2 – SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
2.1 Purpose of the manual
The scope of this manual is to provide adequate information and instruction to bladder tank users, maintenance staff and any other
qualied personnel who is involved with and authorized to operate and maintain the unit. Attention is focused on the potential for the
risk of damage, injury or death that may occur due to the lack of compliance with the instructions given in this document.
This manual details lling and the initial start-up operation of the bladder tank plus recommended periodic maintenance activities
2.2 Precautions to extend the equipment lifetime
All installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance activities must be carried out by personnel who are qualied and
authorized by the system’s owner or manager. The personnel responsible for these activities must proceed only after reading and
fully understanding this manual.
As the bladder tanks manufactured by Viking have been designed, tested and approved by third party organizations including the
durability and performance of the original accessories installed - only original spare parts and consumables must be used when
replacements are required. The use of non-original spare parts may result in an unsafe or poor performance of the bladder tank
and decrease its overall lifetime usage. Use of non-original spare parts automatically expires the warranty clause of the supplied
equipment. This prescription applies, in particular, to the separation bladder between water and foam concentrate and to the foam
concentrate itself
2.3 Environment
The bladder tank user is responsible for the appropriate disposal of all parts that have to be replaced, during the routine and
special maintenance, according to local applicable laws and rules. In particular the foam concentrate contained in the tank and the
replacement seals and separation bladder.
Care must be taken when ow and mixing tests are carried out at the installation site, in such a way not to threaten the
environment. Please always refer to the foam concentrate’s MSDS indications concerning the environmental considerations prior to
the handling of foam concentrate and water-foam solution
