maintenance and repair work. Depending on
the type of work to be performed sufficient
protection may be provided by e.g. wearing
the following protective clothing: Protective
goggles, ear defenders, working boots,

Protective clothes should be of tight fit.

2.6.1 Health and safety information on
electric equipment
Depending on the version, the pumps may
be equipped with electronic accessories
(controls, motor drives).
Severe damage to health and property can
be caused by:
n
non-permitted removal of covers
n
unprofessional use of pump
n
inadequate maintenance
Before starting installation work on electrical
equipment this equipment must be reliably
de-energized.
Cover non-insulated live power lines and
plug connections against unintended
contact.
Electric components stored and not used for
a longer period of time should be carefully
inspected before use, to ensure that the
insulation is still intact.
On wet electric assemblies or components
parts, which would be perfectly de-
energized in dry condition, may still be live.
Before touching damp or wetted electric
components check by measuring whether
parts that could be touched are still live.
Do not attempt to insert any objects
through the openings on pump or attached
equipment. This may cause short circuit and
electric shocks with danger to life.
2.6.2 Health and safety information for
work on pressure lines
Always relieve the pressure before starting
work on pressure lines.
n
Close shut-off valves
n
Vent pipelines
Be careful when checking for
leaks on pressurized lines.
Fluids or air escaping under
pressure can penetrate clothes
and skin.
Be careful when loosening
or changing pressure lines;
lines mixed up by mistake may
reverse the function.
Take care when handling hazardous
(caustic, harmful) fluids.
n
Always wear your personal protective
outfit (e.g. gloves, goggles, tight fitting
clothes).
