Use of unsuitable lubricant.
The characteristics of the lubricant are indicated both on the pump and in this Operation and
maintenance manual (in the event of any doubt, contact the Dropsa S.p.A. Technical Office):
Electrical current
No operations must be carried out on the machine before disconnecting it from the electrical power
supply and ascertaining that no-one can reconnect it during the operation. All of the installed
equipment (electrical and electronic), reservoirs and base structures must be connected to the
ground line.
Electrocution
This can occur only in the event of serious negligence by the user who, however, is qualified.
Flammability
The lubricant used in the lubrication circuits is a fluid that is not normally flammable. In any case, all
possible measures must be taken to prevent it coming into contact with very hot parts or naked
flames.
Pressure
Before any operation, check for the absence of any residual pressure in all branches of the lubricant
circuit, that could cause spurts of oil or grease in the event that fittings or components are
disassembled. After long periods of inactivity, check the seal on all the parts subject to pressure. Do
not subject the fittings, pipes and the parts under pressure to violent impact. A damaged hose or
fitting is DANGEROUS. Replace it.
We recommend using only original spare parts.
2.3 Pictograms
Some pictograms are applied on the pump with warning and safety symbols for the operators.
Carefully read and familiarise yourself with the symbols and their message before using the pump.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
You are close to electrical connections (protected) but accidental contact with them may cause electrocution and even death.
LASER RADIATION HAZARD
DropsA S.p.A.
will not be liable for damage to people or things dues to the failure to observe the
regulations indicated by the pictograms or their imperfect preservation.
