given in this instruction manual are not followed.
1. Keep these instructions in a location where they are accessible to all users at
all times.
2. Always include the operating instructions when you pass the reservoir on to
third parties.

2.1 Intended use

The AR1 pressure reservoirs are products designed in accordance with the
2014/29/EU directive relating to pressure reservoirs.
1. Only use the pressure reservoirs for stationary systems.
2. Only fill the pressure reservoirs with compressed air.
3. Use within the limits listed in the technical data.
The pressure reservoirs are technical equipment and not intended for private use.
2.2 Improper use
Improper use includes filling the pressure reservoirs with liquids or flammable
gases.
2.3 Personnel qualifications
Assembly, commissioning, disassembly, and service (including maintenance and
care) of the pressure reservoir require basic mechanical and pneumatic knowl-
edge, as well as knowledge of the applicable technical terms.
In order to ensure operational safety, these tasks may only be carried out by qual-
ified personnel or an instructed person under the direction of qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible dangers and institute
the appropriate safety measures, due to their professional training, knowledge,
and experience, as well as their understanding of the relevant regulations per-
taining to the work to be done. Qualified personnel must observe the rules rele-

accessory parts will no longer apply.
• Before commissioning the reservoir, ensure that all the appropriate safety
equipment is in place.
• Do not place any improper mechanical loads on the product under any cir-
cumstances.
• Fill the reservoir with compressed air only after correct installation.
• Ensure that neither welding nor heat treatment is carried out on the reser-
voir's pressure-bearing walls.
• Apply suitable measures to prevent harmful vibrations and corrosion on the
reservoir.
2.4.4 During assembly
1. Ensure that neither welding nor heat treatment is carried out on the reser-
voir's pressure-bearing walls. Apply suitable measures to prevent harmful vi-
brations on the pressure reservoir. Make sure that no harmful pulsations are
transferred through the reservoir connection pieces.
2. Make sure the relevant system component is not under pressure or voltage
before assembling or when connecting and disconnecting plugs. Protect the
system component against being switched on.
3. Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over
them.
4. Before commissioning, make sure that all the connection seals and locks are
properly installed and undamaged to prevent fluids and foreign bodies from
penetrating the product.
