from its packaging:
- Lifting of the Spirovent 'Air may only be carried out by com-
petent personal.
- Use approved lifting chains / straps with safety hooks.

The Spirovent 'Air should be installed at the hottest point of
the installation, for example in the main flow of a the central
0 C, unless explicitly indicated

heating installation or in the main return in a cooling installa-
tion.
• The Spirovent must be installed stress free.
• The Spirovent may not be used to support pipework
• The operation is independent of the flow direction
• If the installation is tested with compressed air, the Spirovent
'Air should be shut off temporarily with a cap R

the installation.
• Maximum allowable testing pressure 15 bar.
• Apply the separately supplied product labels if the labels on
the product are not visible, for example after the unit has
been insulated.
• The lifting lugs may only be used for handling during
installation.
• The drain tap fitted on the side of the product is meant for
draining large quantities of air during filling of the installa-
tion:
- Take care: hot water or steam may escape: mount a hose,
resistant to the pressure and temperature concerned, to dis-
charge the hot installation water to a suitable drain point.
- First remove the safety plug.
- Fit the discharge hose.
- Take care that the hose can not slip off.
- Open the drain tap gradually and let all the air escape.
- Shut off the drain tap
and fit the safety cap.
- The remaining deaeration is done automatically by the
Spirovent 'Air.
