Cleaning The Cylinder - Aventics ITS 160 Notice D'instruction

Danger of explosion through overheating caused by dust deposits!
The accumulation of dust can cause the cylinder to overheat. The surface can no longer cool
down and is heated at uncontrollable rate. The resulting heat build-up presents an explosion
hazard.
Regularly remove dust deposits. Set binding cleaning intervals.
Danger of explosion due to contamination!
Regular cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of the cylinder are indispensable for safe
operation. Contaminants in the cylinder increase the risk of explosion in dust explosion
protection areas.
You must comply with the specified inspections
(see "9.2 Inspection" on page 72) and cleaning intervals.
Cylinder damage!
Contact with liquid or corrosive media can damage the cylinder and impair its function.
Avoid contact with liquid or corrosive media on the outside of the cylinder.
Damage to the surface caused by solvents and aggressive detergents!
The seals on the cylinder or the valve may age faster under aggressive ambient conditions.
Never use solvents or strong detergents.
