Foreseeable misuse or improper handling are:
• Use of non-approved pressure fluids (see chapter 6 “Pressure fluids”).
• Exceeding the permitted operating data, e.g. input torques.
• Exceeding or undershooting the permitted drive speed.
• Failing to observe the regulations of the manufacturer regarding operation,

• Neglecting the specified maintenance work, and failing to observe the mainte-
nance and inspection intervals.
• Failing to make measurements and perform tests for early detection of damage.
• Incorrectly performed maintenance or repair work.
Before beginning design and planning, the remaining dangers associated with
internal gear pumps were analyzed and assessed.
Remaining dangers that are unavoidable due to design during the overall life cycle
of the pumps are:
• Danger to life
• Risk of injury
• Health hazard
• Environmental risk
• Physical damage to the pump
• Physical damage to other material assets
Any existing remaining dangers are avoided by the practical implementation and
observation of:
• special warning notices in the operating instructions
• the general safety information in the operating instructions
• the operating instructions of the operator
