9.2
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.
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
through residual media
Residual media at the dismounted instrument can result in a risk to persons,
the environment and equipment.
▶
With hazardous substances, attach the material safety data sheet for the
corresponding medium.
▶
Clean the instrument (see chapter 8.3 "Cleaning").
When returning the instrument, use the original packaging or a suitable transport
packaging.
To avoid damage:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging. Place
shock-absorbent material evenly on all sides of the transport packaging.
3. If possible, place a bag, containing a desiccant, inside the packaging.
4. Label the shipment as transport of a highly sensitive measuring instrument.
Information on returns can be found under the heading "Service" on our local
website.
9.3
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.
This marking on the instruments indicates that they must not be disposed of
in domestic waste. The disposal is carried out by return to the manufacturer
or by the corresponding municipal authorities.
