Personnel qualification and training
-
All personnel for the operation, mainte-
nance, inspection and installation must
be fully qualified and trained. Responsi
-
bility, competence and the supervision of
such personnel must be strictly regulated
by the user. Should the available person-
nel 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 make sure 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 regu-
tions for the operator and user must be
observed 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 removed. All government
and local regulations must always be ob-
served. Any danger to persons from elec-
trical energy must be eliminated by using
good installation practices and working 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 make sure that
all maintenance, inspection and assembly
work is performed exclusively by author-
ized and qualified experts sufficiently
informed through careful perusal of the
operating instructions.
The 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 re-
stored and activated.
Unauthorized changes and manufac-
turing of spare parts
– Any conversion
or changes of the equipment may only be
undertaken after consulting the manu-
facturer. Original spare parts and acces-
sories authorized by the manufacturer
guarantee operational safety.
Using non-authorized parts may void any
liability on the part of the manufactur-
er. Configuring the schemes in this way
ensures flexibility in the future if manage
-
ment of a community changes.
Unauthorized operation
– The opera-
tional safety of the equipment delivered
is only guaranteed if the equipment is
used in accordance with the directions
contained in this manual. Limits stated
in the datasheets may not be exceeded
under any circumstances.
