1.4 Areas of application
The pumps will be used to deliver clean water out of wells for irrigation, domestic water supply, etc. The pumps are designed for pumping
thin, clean, non-explosive liquids, not containing solid particles or fibres. The maximum sand content of the water must not exceed 50 g/m³.
A larger sand content will reduce the life of the pump and increase the risk of blocking. The temperature of the pumped liquid must not
exceed 35 °C.
2. Safety
(from: “VDMA-Standard publication 24 292”)
These instructions for use contain general information, which should be noted when setting up, using and servicing the equipment. Installers
and / or users must read and understand in detail these instructions prior to installation and servicing. These instructions must always be
available at the site of the installation. All safety instructions must be full observed.
2.1 Marking of information in the instruction for use
Danger symbol in accordance with DIN 4844 - W9,
for warnings regarding electrical current the following symbol is used
Danger symbol in accordance with DIN 4844 - W8
The word Attention or Caution is used to introduce safety instructions whose non-observance may lead to damage to the machine and its
functions.
Advices on the pump, e.g. rotation direction arrow must be considered and kept readable.
2.2 Personal qualification
All personnel involved in the operation, maintenance, inspection and installation of the machine must be fully qualified to carry out the work
involved. Personnel responsibilities, competence and supervision must be clearly defined by the operator. If the personnel in question is not
already in possession of the requisite know-how, appropriate training and instruction must be provided. If required, the operator may
commission the manufacturer/supplier to take care of such training. In addition, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the contents of
the operating instructions are fully understood by the responsible personnel.
This device is not meant to be used by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or with too less
experience or knowledge, except they are supervised by a person which is responsible for their safety or are given instruction by this person
how to use the device.
2.3 Dangers arising due to non-compliance with safety advice
Ignoring of safety instructions can lead to danger of personnel and to the environment as well as causing possible damage to the equipment.
Non-compliance with safety instructions can lead to the loss of right to claim damages. Non-compliance with safety instructions can lead for
example to:
- Breakdown in important functions of the equipment
- Breakdown in prescript methods for maintenance and upkeep
- Danger of injury from electrical, mechanical or chemical sources
- Environmental damage resulting from leaks of environmentally dangerous substances
2.4 Safety conscious work
These safety instructions, as well as all national safety requirements and extra internal company precautions or such laid down by the owner
of the equipment must be observed.
2.5 Safety information for the owner / operator
-
Any parts of the machine which could be a possible source of hot or cold burns should be covered.
-
Covering for moving parts (e.g. couplings) should not be removed while the machine is in use.
-
Leak out of dangerous substances (e.g. explosives, poisons, hot liquids) have to be handled in such a way that no danger to persons or
the environment may occur. Legal requirements must be observed.
-
Danger resulting from electrical current must be prevented (For more information please consult the specifications of the VDE or your
local electricity board).
