3. Safety
Observe the safety precautions in Chapters
5. Installation and connection and 6. Operation.
The pumps are built according to the generally recognized rules of
technology and in accordance with the pertinent occupational
safety and accident prevention regulations. Nevertheless, dangers
may occur during their use which may lead to injuries to the user or
others, or to damage to the pump or other property.
Only use the pumps when they are in a good technical and proper
working order, in accordance with their intended use, observing the
safety advice within the Operating and Installation Instructions, at
all times.
Make sure that only trained and instructed personnel or specially
trained personnel work on the pumps. This especially applies to
assembly, connection and servicing work.
Make sure that all personnel have read and understood the Oper-
ating and Installation Instructions, and in particular the "Safety"
chapter.
Always ensure adherence to all pertinent accident prevention and
safety regulations when working on and operating the pump.
When transferring dangerous media, observe the safety regula-
tions for handling such media.
Be aware that the pumps are not designed to be explosion-proof.
Make sure the temperature of the medium is always sufficiently be-
low the ignition temperature of the medium, to avoid ignition or ex-
plosion. This also applies for unusual operational situations.
Note that the temperature of the medium increases when the pump
compresses the medium.
Hence, make sure the temperature of the medium is sufficiently be-
low the ignition temperature of the medium, even when it is com-
pressed to the maximum permissible operating pressure (Chapter
4) of the pump.
If necessary, consider any external sources of energy, such as
radiation, that may add heat to the medium.
In case of doubt, consult the KNF customer service.
Always ensure adherence to all information stickers on the pumps,
such as flow direction arrows and type plates, and keep stickers in
legible condition.
All replacement parts should be properly stored and disposed of in
accordance with the applicable environmental protection regula-
tions. Observe the respective national and international regula-
tions. This especially applies to parts contaminated with toxic sub-
stances.
Dispose of all packaging in an environmentally-appropriate
manner. The packaging materials are recyclable.
