1.2. Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing one of our company’s products.
You have purchased a product which has been manufac-
tured to the latest technical standards. Read this operat-
ing and maintenance manual carefully before you first use
it. This is the only way to ensure that the product is safely
and economically used.
The documentation contains all the necessary specifica-
tions for the product, allowing you to use it properly. In
addition, you will also find information on how to recog-
nize potential dangers, reduce repair costs and downtime,
and increase the reliability and working life of the product.
All safety requirements and specific manufacturer’s re-
quirements must be fulfilled before the product
is put into operation. This operating and maintenance
manual supplements any existing national regulations
on industrial safety and accident prevention. This manual
must also be accessible to personnel at all times and also
be made available where the product is used.
1.3. Proper use
The HOMA products comply with the valid safety regu-
lations and meet the demands of state-of-the-art tech-
nology. In the event of improper use, there is a danger
to life for the user as well as for third parties. Moreover,
the product and/or attachments may be damaged or de-
stroyed.
It is important to ensure that the product is only operated
in technically perfect condition and as intended.
To do so, follow the operating instructions.
1.4. Copyright
This operation and maintenance manual has been copy-
righted by the manufacturer. This operation and mainte-
nance handbook is intended for the use by assembly, op-
erating and maintenance personnel. It contains technical
specifications and diagrams which may not be reproduced
or distributed, either completely or in part, or used for any
other purpose without the expressed consent of the man-
ufacturer.
1.5. Warranty
Costs for removal and installation of the complained prod-
uct at the installation place, costs for the ride of the mech-
anicians to the location and from the installation place as
well as costs for transport are not components of our war-
ranty. Hereby arose costs, especially costs for checking
and transport are bearing by the sender or operator of the
pump. This is also valid for an asserted warranty claim if
a check results that the unit works faultless and is free of
defects. All products have a high quality standard. Each
product is defeated by a strict technical end control before
delivery. A warranty repair achieved by us does not extend
the warranty period. Replaced spare parts give no reasons
for a new warranty period. Extensive claims are excluded,
especially such as diminution, change or compensation
also for any kind of follow up damages.
In order to ensure that your guarantee claim is processed
as efficiently as possible, please contact us or the appro-
priate sales representative.
Once your claim for a return has been agreed, you will
receive a return certificate. Please then send the rejected
product, carriage prepaid, to the factory together with the
return certificate, proof of purchase and an indication of
the damage. Claims made on grounds of damage caused
in transit must be established and confirmed on delivery
of the product by the express company, the railway com-
pany or the postal service.
1.5.1. General information
This chapter contains the general information on the war-
ranty. Contractual agreements have the highest priority
and are not superseded by the information in this chapter!
The manufacturer is obliged to correct any defects found
in the products it sells, provided that the following require-
ments have been fulfilled:
• The defects are caused by the materials used or the
way the product was manufactured or designed.
• The defects were reported in writing to the manufac-
turer within the agreed warranty period.
• The product was used only as prescribed.
• All safety and control devices were connected and
inspected by authorized personnel.
If no other provisions have been made, the warranty pe-
riod applies to the first 12 months after initial start-up
or to a max. of 24 months after the delivery date. Other
agreements must be made in writing in the order confir-
mation. These agreements will remain valid at least until
the agreed warranty period of the product has expired.
1.5.2. Spare parts, add-ons and conversions
Only original spare parts as supplied by the manufactur-
er may be used for repairs, replacements, add-ons and
conversions. Only these parts guarantee a long working
life and the highest level of safety. These parts have been
specially designed for our products. Self-made add-ons
and conversions or the use of non-original spare parts can
seriously damage the product and/or injure personnel.
1.5.3. Maintenance
The prescribed maintenance and inspection work should
be carried out regularly. This work may only be carried out
by qualified, trained and authorized personnel. The main-
tenance and inspection log supplied must be properly up-
dated. This enables you to monitor the status of inspec-
tions and maintenance work. Quick repairs not listed in
this operation and maintenance manual and all types of
repair work may only be performed by the manufacturer
and its authorized service centres.
1.5.4. Damage to the product

must be eliminated immediately by authorized personnel.

ing order. During the agreed warranty period, the product
