persons, the environment and equipment.

Take sufficient precautionary measures.
8.1 Dismounting
When removing the instrument, the force required to do this must not be applied through
the case, but only through the spanner flats provided for this purpose and using a suita-
ble tool (see chapter 5.1.3 "Installing the instrument").
Only disconnect the transmitter once the system has been depressurised!
8.2 Return
Strictly observe the following when shipping the instrument:
All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazardous substances
(acids, bases, solutions, etc.) and must therefore be cleaned before being returned.
When returning the instrument, use the original packaging or a suitable transport
packaging.
Information on returns can be found under the heading "Service" on our
local website.
8.3 Disposal
Incorrect disposal can put the environment at risk.
Dispose of instrument components and packaging materials in an environmentally
compatible way and in accordance with the country-specific waste disposal regulations.
