General safety instructions for the operator/user
If cold or hot parts of the unit pose any hazards, such parts must be protected
against direct contact on site.
Covers providing protection against contact with moving parts (e.g. couplings)
must not be removed while the unit is in operation.
Hazardous media to be pumped (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) leaking, e.g. from
the shaft sealing, must be removed in a way which ensures that neither persons
nor the environment are put at risk. All legal regulations have to be observed.
Hazards caused by electrical energy must be eliminated. For further details,
please refer to e.g. the regulations of the VDE and local energy suppliers.
Make sure bathers use the unit properly. Any use other than the intended use or
modifications to the unit without the prior approval of the manufacturer will void
