Quattroflow quaternary diaphragm pumps are constructed according to the state of the art and they are
reliable. Imminent danger by operating error or misuse can lead to damages of properties and/or
persons. The pumps are to be applied for the intended use and in a safety-related proper condition only.
1.2. Storage
In general the Quattroflow pump is delivered operational and packaged. If the unit is not installed right
away, proper storage conditions are important for a trouble free operation later. The pump has to be
protected from wetness, coldness, dirtying, UV-radiation and mechanical influences. The following
storage conditions are recommended:
- Steady ventilated, dust and vibration free storage room
- Ambient temperature between 15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F) with a relative humidity below 65%
- Prevention of direct thermal influences (sun, heating)
1.3. Labelling of the pump
The ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH is certified as a modern, quality-orientated enterprise according
to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015. Before release for dispatch, any Quattroflow pump has to
undergo an extended final control. The performance data registered during this are archived in our
records and can be read back at any time.
As a general rule in the countries of the EU only such machines are allowed to take into operation, which
are determined to meet the regulations of the EU machinery directive, the harmonized standards,
European standards and the respective national
standards. Hence the operator has to verify whether
the Quattroflow pump manufactured and delivered
properly according to the customers order meets
the mentioned requirements.
Therefore make sure, before putting the pump into
operation, that the pump and the used materials of
construction are suitable for the provided
application and the installation site.
The type label of each Quattroflow pump can be
seen on the bottom of the base plate. Besides the
serial number of the pump head is fixed at the front
cover.
