6. Operation
Operate the pumps only under the operating parameters and
conditions described in Chapter 4, Technical data
Make sure that the pumps are being used properly (see Chap-
ter 2.1).
Avoid improper use of the pumps (see Chapter 2.2)
Observe the safety precautions (see Chapter 3).
The pump is a component intended to be incorporated into an-
other machine. Before putting into service it must be estab-
lished that the machinery or systems in which the pump is in-
stalled meets the relevant regulations
CAUTION
Risk of burning
The drive heats up.
Avoid contact with the pump drive.
Avoid contact with flammable materials
Excessive pressure and the inherent dangers thereof can be
prevented by placing a bypass line with a pressure relief valve
between the pressure and suction side of the pump. Please
contact your local KNF partner for further information
(www.knf.com).
If the pump stops running, restore the system to normal atmos-
pheric pressure.
For pumps with thermal switch or electronic overload protection:
WARNING
Risk of physical injury and damage to the pump
due to automatic start
If the pump overheats and pump operation is
stopped by the thermal switch / electronics, the
pumps will restart automatically as soon as the motor
has had time to cool down
Take steps to ensure that this cannot produce a
hazardous situation
Regularly inspect the pump for external damage or leaks.
Switching the pumps on and off
The motor speed of the pump, and thus the flow rate, is adjust-
able and can also be regulated to some extent.
