Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a submersible water pump. The Wacker Neuson
Submersible Pump consists of an electric motor, an impeller, a strainer,
and a metal casing with ports for water suction and discharge. Power is
supplied to the pump through a corded plug or a hard-wired connection,
depending on the installation. The operator connects hoses to the pump
and routes them so that water is pumped from the work area and
discharged into an appropriate location.
This machine is intended to be used for general de-watering applications.
This machine is intended for the pumping of clear water, or water
containing solids up to the size stated within the product’s specifications,
and up to the flow, head, and suction lift limits also stated within the
product’s specifications.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use
described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could
permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or other
persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not covered
under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
•
Pumping flammable, explosive, or corrosive fluids
•
Pumping hot or volatile fluids that result in pump cavitation
•
Operating the pump outside of product specifications due to
incorrect diameter hoses, incorrect length hoses, other inlet or
outlet restrictions, or excessive suction lift or head
•
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
•
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
•
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
•
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings
found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual.
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest
global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate
hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator safety through
protective guards and labeling. However, some risks may remain even
after protective measures have been taken. They are called residual
risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
•
Electric shock from improper electrical connections or high volt-
age
•
Personal injury from improper lifting techniques
•
Projectile hazard from discharge
