6.5. Shutdown
On completion of the pumping operation, flush the entire
system and the pump with a neutral fluid, then pump it empty.
To ensure satisfactory start-up when the unit is again required,
it is important to ensure that the pump is free of any
crystallising, adhesive or curing media.
Press the STOP button to end the pumping operation.
Unplug the pump from the power supply.
6.6. Transport and interim storage
When packing the unit, ensure that the consignment will not be
able to move within the packing.
Choose sufficiently robust packing so that the entire consignment
will withstand unfavourable transport conditions.
Use the original packaging.
7. Operation
7.1. Initial start-up
Before switching on the pump, check the following points:
Prerequisites for start-up
All hoses must be correctly attached.
Specifications of the power supply must correspond with
the data on the pump type plate and the mains plug.
The pump outlet must be clear of any obstruction.
All cables must be correctly connected.
Tab. 12: Prerequisites for start-up
Operate the pump only in accordance with the operating
parameters and conditions described under Technical data
(see Chapter 4).
Ensure the pump is being used for its intended purpose (see
section 2.1).
Avoid any improper use of the pump (see section 2.2).
Note the safety instructions in Chapter 3.
If the lines are blocked lines a diaphragm pump can build up
higher pressures than the maximum allowed limits which can
either damage the pump or system.
