8.2 Removal of components for their maintenance
In some cases, components may need to be dismantled from the pumping station so that
customers can carry out necessary maintenance work on them (they should then be re-
assembled in reverse order).
9 Decommissioning
9.1 Shutting down for longer periods
If the pumping station should be shut down for longer than a year:
Remove the pumping station from the system, if necessary.
Only store the pumping station indoors at an ambient temperature b5°C and
+40°C.
In rooms with moist or aggressive atmospheres, the pumping station must be airproof
shrink-wrapped in a plastic bag together with a bag of dessicant.
CAUTION
High weight of backing pump when dismounting and mounting
Body parts can become crushed between backing pump and pumping station frame.
Use lifting device for lifting the backing pump.
If necessary wear protective gloves according to directive EN 420.
Wear safety shoes with steel toe cap according to directive EN 347.
NOTE
Refer to the notes on Proper Use of the unit!
The pumping station must only be operated as a complete unit. Disassembly and oper-
ation of individual pumping station components is deemed to be improper use.
In this case the declaration of conformity will become invalid.
WARNING
Contamination of parts and operating fluid by pumped media is possible.
Poisoning hazard through contact with materials that damage health.
In the case of contamination, carry out appropriate safety precautions in order to pre-
vent danger to health through dangerous substances.
Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
