Personnel qualification and training -
All
personnel responsible for the operation,
maintenance, inspection and installation must
be fully qualified and trained. Responsibility,
competence and the supervision of such personnel
must be strictly regulated by the user. Should
the available personnel be lacking the necessary
qualification, they must be trained and instructed
accordingly. If necessary, the operator may require
the manufacturer/supplier to provide such training.
Furthermore, the operator/user must ensure that
the personnel fully understand the content of the
manual.
Safe operation
– The safety directions in this
manual, existing national regulations for the
prevention of accidents as well as internal guidelines
and safety regulations for the operator and user
must be followed at all times.
General safety directions for the operator/user
– Protective covers for moving parts (e.g. couplings)
must not be removed when the equipment is
running. Leaks (e.g. at the shaft seal) of hazardous
pumping media (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot liquids)
must be disposed of in such a way that any danger
to personnel and the environment is avoided. All
government and local regulations must always be
followed. Any danger to persons from electrical
energy must be eliminated by using proper
installation practices which must be in accordance to
local regulations (e.g. VDE in Germany).
Safety directions for maintenance, inspection
and assembly work
– It is the user’s responsibility
to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and
assembly work is performed exclusively by
authorized and qualified experts who are sufficiently
informed through reviewing the operating
instructions.
Local accident prevention regulations must be
observed. All work on the equipment should be done
when it is not being operated and ideally electrically
isolated. The sequence for shutting the equipment
down is described in the manual and must be strictly
observed. Immediately upon completion of the
work, all safety and protective equipment must be
restored and activated.
Unauthorized changes and manufacturing
of spare parts
– Any conversion or changes of
the equipment may only be undertaken after
consulting the manufacturer. Original spare parts
and accessories authorized by the manufacturer
guarantee operational safety.
Using unauthorized parts may void any liability
on the part of the manufacturer. Configuring the
schemes in this way ensures flexibility in the future if
local management changes.
Unauthorized operation
– The operational safety
of the equipment delivered is only guaranteed
if the equipment is used in accordance with the
directions outlined in this manual. Limits stated
in the datasheets may not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
