7.2. Starting
Only operate the pump under the operating parameters and
conditions described in chapter 4, Technical data.
Make sure the pump is used properly (see section 2.1).
Make sure the pump is not used improperly (see section 2.2).
Observe the safety precautions (see chapter 3).
WARNING
Hazard of the pump head bursting due to excessive
pressure increase
Do not exceed max. permissible operating
pressure (see section 4).
Monitor pressure during operation.
If the pressure exceeds the maximum permissi-
ble operating pressure, immediately shut down
pump and eliminate fault (see chapter 9. Trou-
bleshooting).
Only throttle or regulate the air or gas quantity in
the suction line to prevent the maximum permis-
sible operating pressure from being exceeded.
If the air or gas quantity in the pressure line is
throttled or regulated, make sure that the maxi-
mum permissible operating pressure of the
pump is not exceeded.
Excessive pressure (with all of the related hazards) can be
prevented by placing a bypass line with a pressure-relief valve
between the pressure and suction side of the pump. For further
information, contact our technical adviser.
With the pump at a standstill, open pressure and suction lines
to normal atmospheric pressure.
