5. OPERATION
CAUTION
• The pump must not be put into operation if the machine in which it is incorporated
does not comply with the safety requirements defined by European Directives. Their
compliance is guaranteed if the CE mark is present together with the manufacturer’s
Declaration of Conformity for the machine that incorporates the pump.
• Before starting to use the pump, read both this manual and the manual for the machine that
incorporates the pump carefully. It is important to be sure that you have fully understood
how both the pump and the machine that incorporates the pump work concerning the
interception of the liquids.
• The pump must be used with care and attention. It is your responsibility to make sure that
any infrequent users have read this manual and are acquainted with the operation of the
pump; otherwise do not allow others to use the pump. Pumps must not be used by children
or by unauthorised personnel.
• Comply with the safety warnings in the operating and maintenance manual of the machine
that incorporates the pump especially as regards the use of personal protection (protective
glasses, headphones, facemasks etc).
• Do not use the pump if:
- the pump has been bumped
- there are obvious leaks of oil.
- there are obvious leaks of water.
In these circumstances, the pump should be tested by a Skilled Technician.
• It is especially important to pay great attention when the pump is used in areas where there
are moving vehicles as these can crush or damage the delivery pipe and the sprinkler lance.
• During operation, never leave the pump unattended and make sure it is out of reach of
children and animals. Pay particular attention when using it in kindergartens, nursing homes
and old people’s homes, as unsupervised children, elderly people and disabled people may
be present in such places.
• Before starting to use the pump, put on clothing which guarantees adequate protection
against the possibility of incorrect manoeuvres of the jet of pressurised water. Do not
operate the pump near people unless they are also wearing protective clothing.
• High-pressure jets of water can be dangerous if they are not used properly. Do not point the
jet in the direction of people, animals, and energized electrical appliances or towards the
machine which incorporates the pump.
• Hold the sprinkler lance fi rmly during use: when operating its control lever, the operator is
subjected to the backlash of the high pressure.
• Do not point the jet towards oneself or other people in order to clean off clothing or
footwear.
• Do not point the high-pressure jet towards materials, which contain asbestos or other
harmful substances.
• Make sure that the pump’s moving parts are adequately protected and that they are not
accessible to unauthorised personnel.
• Do not come within reach of the pump’s moving parts, even if they are adequately protected.
• Do not remove the protective devices of the pump’s moving parts.
• Do not carry out any maintenance on the pump if it is in use.
