2.1 Proper use
o
Use the pump station solely for transporting lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and that
do not contain gas or solid components.
o
Use the pump station only within the operating limits specified on the rating plate and in the chapter
"Technical data". In the case of operating data that do not agree with the specifications on the rat-
ing plate, please contact the manufacturer.
o
The pump station is designed specially for the operating pressure named by the customer. If the ac-
tual operating pressure deviates notably from this design pressure, damage to the pump station can
also arise within the specified operating limits. This applies both to notably higher as well as to not-
ably lower operating pressures. Under no circumstances may the minimum pressure lie below
2 bar. In case of any doubt, please contact the manufacturer.
2.2 Foreseeable misuse
o
Any use that extends beyond the proper use or any other use is misuse.
o
The product is not suitable for pumping liquids outside the operational limits.
o
Any bypassing or deactivation of safety equipment during operation is prohibited.
