Safety
This operation manual contains general instructions that must be observed during instal-
lation, operation and maintenance of the pump. This operation manual must therefore be
read by the installation engineer and the relevant qualified personnel/operators prior to
installation and start-up, and must be available at the installation location of the pump at
all times.
It is not only the general safety instructions described in this "Safety" section that must be
observed, but all special safety instructions that are provided in the other sections.
2.1

could result in personal injury or damage to the pump and its functions, are identified with
the following symbols:

2.2
Qualification and Training of Personnel
Operating, maintenance, inspection and installation personnel must have the relevant
qualifications. The responsibility and supervision of personnel must be strictly controlled
by the operator. Personnel must be trained and instructed if they do not have the required
level of knowledge. If necessary, this can be done by the manufacturer/supplier at the
request of the operator of the pump. It is the responsibility of the operator to make sure
that the contents of the operation manual are understood by the personnel.
2.3
Risks When Safety Instructions Are Not Observed
If safety instructions are not observed, this may have dangerous consequences for
humans, the environment and the pump. If safety instructions are not observed, this may
lead to the loss of any claims for damages.
If individual safety instructions are not observed, this may cause the following damage, for
example:
•
Failure of important functions of the pump/system
•
Failure of specified methods for maintenance
•
Harm to humans from exposure to electrical, mechanical and chemical influences
•
Damage to the environment from leakage of harmful substances

Safety-Conscious Working
The safety instructions described in this operation manual, applicable national regulations
for accident prevention and any internal working, operating and safety regulations of the
operator must be observed.
