3. Safety
The design of MAXIMATOR pump is based on the generally accepted engineering
standards and on the laws relating to technical equipment safety, TÜV [German Technical
Inspectorate] regulations as well as the accident prevention regulations of the German
Employers' Liability Insurance Association [Berufsgenossenschaft].
Those codes and regulations must also be adhered to during installation and application
of the pumps.
Only the specified media may be used both at the drive- and the compression-side.
The hydraulic pipework and accoutrements should be matched to the system pressure
and the medium and be of appropriate sizes.
The pressure of the drive medium must not exceed 10 bar.
Make sure to vent the hydraulic part of the pump prior to start-up. Check secure fastening
of all fixed pipework in order to prevent fatigue pipe fractures during pump operation.
Do not loosen the hydraulic bolted union at the suction and pressure nozzles to facilitate
installation of pipe connections. These bolted unions must be firmly tightened to prevent
leakages and damage.
The pump must NOT be installed in enclosed containers because the drive medium must
be able to escape.
Repair work may only be performed after the system has been depressurised.
Make sure to observe all relevant safety regulations when the pump is driven with
explosive media. The connections must be tight and the depressurised medium from the
exhaust pipe, the leakage bore and the venting bore in the top cap must be safely
disposed of.
