PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
Installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by competent, skilled personnel in possession of
the technical qualifications required by the specific legislation in force.
The term skilled personnel
means persons whose training, experience and instruction, as well as their knowledge of the
respective standards and requirements for accident prevention and working conditions, have been approved by the person in
charge of plant safety, authorizing them to perform all the necessary activities, during which they are able to recognize and

The appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities,
or who lack experience or knowledge, unless, through the mediation of a person responsible for their safety, they have had
the benefit of supervision or of instructions on the use of the appliance. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
SAFETY
Use is allowed only if the electric system is in possession of safety precautions in accordance with the regulations
in force in the country where the product is installed (for Italy CEI 64/2).
The pump must be provided with a device for isolating the power supply complying with the requirements of
standard EN60204-1 5.3.2.
Pump installation in tanks must be carried out by specially trained persons.
Work in or near tanks must be carried out according to local regulations.
For safety reasons, all work in tanks must be supervised by a person outside the pump tank.
It is advisable to make all maintenance and service jobs when the pump is placed outside the tank.
Tanks for submersible sewage and wastewater pumps may contain sewage or wastewater with toxic and/or disease-causing
substances. Therefore, all persons involved must wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing, and all work
on and near the pump must be carried out under strict observance of the hygiene regulations in force.
Never tamper installed protections and safety devices; when necessary, ask for intervention of competent
