all liability for personal injury, material damage or
financial losses.
2. Safety
This section lists all the generally applicable
safety instructions and technical information.
In addition, all the other sections contain specific
safety instructions and technical information.
All instructions and information must be observed
and followed during the various phases of the
pump’s life cycle (installation, operation, mainte
-
nance, transport etc.)! The end-user is respon
-
sible for ensuring that all personnel follow these
instructions and guidelines.
2.1. Instructions and safety instructions
This manual uses instructions and safety in
-
structions for preventing injury and damage to
property. To clearly identify them for personnel,
the instructions and safety instructions are dis-
tinguished as follows:
• Instructions appear in bold and refer directly to
the preceding text or section.
• Safety instructions are slightly indented and bold
and always start with a signal word.
•

•
Warning

•
Caution

•
Caution
(instruction without symbol)
Substantial property damage can occur. Irrepa-
rable damage is possible!
• Safety instructions that refer to personal injury
appear in black and are always accompanied by
a safety symbol. Danger, prohibition or instruc
-
tion symbols are used as safety symbols.
Example:
Danger symbol: General hazard
Danger symbol, for example, electrical current
Prohibition symbol, for example, Keep out!

-
tive clothing
The safety symbols used conform to the gener
-
ally applicable directives and regulations, such
as DIN and ANSI.
• Safety instructions that only refer to materi-
al damage are printed in grey, without safety
symbols.
2.2. General safety
• When installing or removing the pump, never
work alone in rooms and sump. A second person
must always be present.
•
The pump must always be switched off before
any work is performed on it (assembly, disman-
tling, maintenance, installation). The pump must
be disconnected from the electrical system and
secured against being switched on again. All ro
-
tating parts must have come to a stop.
•
The operator should inform his/her superior
immediately should any defects or irregularities
occur.
•
The end-user must shut down the equipment im
-
mediately if defects occur that represent a safety
risk. These include:
•
Failure of the safety and/or monitoring devices
• Damage to important parts
• Damage to electrical equipment, cables, and
insulation.
•
Tools and other objects should be kept in their
designated places to ensure they can be used
safely.
•
Sufficient ventilation must be provided in en
-
closed rooms.
• When welding or working with electronic devices,
make sure there is no risk of explosion.
•
Only use lifting gear which is legally defined as
such and officially approved.
•
The lifting gear must be kept safely and must be
suitable for the conditions of use (weather, hook-
ing unit, load, etc.).
• Mobile equipment for lifting loads should be
used in such a way that it is guaranteed to remain
stable during operation.
• When using mobile equipment for lifting
non-guided loads, take action to prevent tipping,
shifting, sliding, etc.
• Measures should be taken to ensure that no
person is ever directly beneath a suspended
load. Furthermore, it is also prohibited to move
suspended loads over workplaces where people
are present.
• If mobile equipment is used for lifting loads,
a second person should be present to coordinate
the procedure if required (for example, if the
operator’s field of vision is blocked).
•
The load to be lifted must be transported so that
no-one will be injured if there is a power failure.
Furthermore, if such work is being carried out
outdoors, it must be cancelled if the weather
conditions worsen.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or substan-
tial material damage.
