▪
Observe the limits for continuous operation specified in the data sheet or
product literature (Q
min
2)
and Q
max
3)
) (to prevent damage such as shaft fracture,
bearing failure, mechanical seal damage, etc).
▪
Observe the maximum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product
literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage, cavitation damage,
bearing damage, etc).
▪
Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.
Prevention of foreseeable misuse
▪
Observe the minimum flow velocities required to fully open the swing check
valves to prevent the reduction of pressure and risk of clogging.
(Contact the manufacturer for the required minimum flow velocities/loss
coefficients.)
▪
Never exceed the permissible operating limits (pressure, temperature, etc.)
specified in the data sheet or product literature.
▪
Observe all safety information and instructions in this manual.
2.4 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved must be fully qualified to install, operate, maintain and
inspect the machinery this manual refers to.
The responsibilities, competence and supervision of all personnel involved in
installation, operation, maintenance and inspection must be clearly defined by the
operator.
Deficits in knowledge must be rectified by means of training and instruction
provided by sufficiently trained specialist personnel. If required, the operator can
commission the manufacturer/supplier to train the personnel.
Training on the pump (set) must always be supervised by technical specialist
personnel.
2.5 Consequences and risks caused by non-compliance with these operating
instructions
▪
Non-compliance with these operating instructions will lead to forfeiture of
warranty cover and of any and all rights to claims for damages.
▪
Non-compliance can, for example, have the following consequences:
– Hazards to persons due to electrical, thermal, mechanical and chemical
effects and explosions
– Failure of important product functions
– Failure of prescribed maintenance and servicing practices
– Hazard to the environment due to leakage of hazardous substances
2.6 Safety awareness
In addition to the safety information contained in this manual and the intended use,
the following safety regulations shall be complied with:
▪
Accident prevention, health and safety regulations
▪
Explosion protection regulations
▪
Safety regulations for handling hazardous substances
▪
