Cleaning
After having been de-energized, the profiles can be cleaned with an industrial vacuum cleaner to remove loose
dust or graphite deposits. Please consult VAHLE for information and intervals for intensive cleaning or wet
cleaning.
CAUTION!
For maintenance and cleaning work where graphite contact dust may get into the am-
bient air, breathing protection must be used:
►
Breathing protection mask acc. to EN 149, min. protection level FFP3.
Vahle product ID: 10017880
►
Never blow out the mask with compressed air.
►
Use vacuum with class H filter (Retrofitting a HEPA-filter is required).
►
Do not eat, drink or smoke during work.
Dust in the vacuum cleaner bag or the air filter can be disposed of as commercial waste in the usual quantities
(up to about 2 liters). Larger quantities must be disposed of in a controlled manner according to applicable law.
Generally, no firm interval recommendations are given for cleaning. The conductor rail normally only needs
cleaning in case of very heavy soiling.
TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS!
In case of strong contamination by light scorch marks or firmly adhering dirt, conductor
cleaners with a special cleaning fleece can be requested. These can then be mounted
on the vehicle so that the conductor rails are cleaned during operation (not perma-
nent).
