1.7 Basic Safety Measures
1.7.1 Keep information available
This manual has to be stored. It has to be ensured that all persons who
operate the compact booster unit have access to the manual at all times.
1.7.2 For environmental protection
1.7.3 Modifications to the compact booster unit
When using externally procured parts, there is no guarantee that these are
designed and constructed to tolerate demands made upon them or whether
they comply with safety regulations.
For safety reasons, no unauthorised modifications may be made to the
compact booster unit.
Parts and special equipment not delivered by Honeywell are also not autho-
rised by Honeywell for use.
1.8 Duty of due care of the operator
This compact booster unit was designed and constructed according to a risk
assessment and after careful selection of the harmonised standards that
apply, as well as according to further technical specifications. It thus
complies with best practice and guarantees the highest safety standard.
This level of safety can only be attained during operational practice if all
required safety measures have been taken. It is the duty of care of the
operator of the compact booster unit to plan these measures and enforce
their implementation.
In particular, the operator must ensure that
• the compact booster unit is only operated as intended
• the compact booster unit is only operated in perfect working condition.
• the required personal safety gear for operating, maintenance and repair
personnel is available and is used
• the manual has to be kept legible at all times and stored on-site with the
compact booster unit.
• the compact booster unit is assembled, commissioned, operated, main-
tained, and shut down solely by sufficiently qualified and authorised
personnel.
• this personnel is regularly instructed on all relevant questions of work
safety and environmental protection, and has also read and understood
the manual and particularly the safety instructions it contains.
• none of the safety and warning signs attached to the compact booster unit
are removed and all remain legible.
• a hazard assessment (according to the Safety at Work Act § 5) is
conducted to detect further hazards that may arise from the particular
working conditions on-site where the compact booster unit is operated.
• all further information and safety instructions which arise from the hazard
assessment process shall be summarised in operating instructions
(according to the work equipment regulation § 6).
• measures for the decontamination of systems that pump hazardous
medium are stated in the operating manual
• the drain output lines are sufficiently dimensioned
1.9 Safety instructions for the operator/operating personnel
• Provide on-site protection against contact for hot,cold, and moving parts
and check if they function properly.
• Do not remove the protection against contact during operation of the
pump.
• Eliminate hazards caused by electrical energy (for details refer to the
country specific regulations and/or local power supply companies).
1.10 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspections and
assembly work
• Alterations or modifications of the system are only permitted with the
consent of the manufacturer.
• Use only original parts or parts authorised by the manufacturer.
• Use of parts other than those authorised may lead to loss of liability for
any damage they may cause.
• Perform service on the system only when the machine is off.
• The pump housing has to be at ambient temperature.
• The pump housing has to be depressurised and empty.
• The procedures described in the manual for shutting down the system
have to be observed under all circumstances.
• Decontaminate systems that pump hazardous medium.
• Reinstall safety equipment and protective devices and activate them
again immediately after work on the system has been completed. Before
starting up again, observe the start-up checklist.
• Keep unauthorised persons (e.g. children) away from the system.
