General danger
•
In dry-well installation respectively in case of low level pumping (in case of low water
level) the motor housing heats up after a lengthy operating period. You must therefore
only use the carrying handle to transport the pump and avoid direct contact with the
motor housing. Always wear protective gloves too.
•
When pumping hot fluids the pump always becomes as hot as the pumped fluid. In this
case you must only touch the pump if you are wearing suitable protective gloves.
•
In pumping mode strong suction is produced at the intake area of the pump. It is there-
fore necessary to ensure that while the pump is running you never allow your hands,
feet, loose clothing (e.g. ties) or jewelry (e.g. chains) to get into the area of the pump
intake (suction side) or pump discharge (pressure side). There is risk of shearing inju-
ries or getting tangled.
•
The protection against contact (pump base) for moving parts (impeller) may not be
removed if the machines are in operation. The pump itself may not be operated without
the appropriate protection against contact.
•
Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) fluids (e.g. from the shaft seal)
must be drained away so as to prevent any risk to persons or the environment. Statu-
tory regulations are to be complied with.
Damage of the pump due to inappropriate use:
•
Store the pump in dry rooms only. If kept dry and clean the pump can be stored down
to a minimum temperature of
–20°C. Highly super cooled pumps must be allowed to
thaw to above 0 °C before being used, to prevent the formation of ice on immersion in
the fluid to be pumped.
•
Ensure that the place in which the pump is used is protected against frost.
•
Always use the carrying handles to transport the pump.
•
Only use the notch at the carrying handle to lower the pump using ropes. Never lower
the pump by its power cable or a hose connected to the pump.
2.5 Safety instructions relevant for maintenance, inspection and assembly work
It shall be the user’s responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly
work is performed by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately familiarized
themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail. Any work on the ma-
chine shall only be performed when it is at stand-still, it is being imperative that the proce-
dure for shutting down the machine described in this manual be followed (see chapter 4).
Pumps and pump units which convey hazardous media must be decontaminated. All waste
emissions such as used oil must be appropriately disposed of, oil spills must be cleaned
up and emissions to the environment must be reported.
On completion of work all safety and protective facilities must be reinstalled and made
operative again. Before restarting the points listed in chapter 4 must be noted and followed.
Any modification may be made to the pump only after consultation with the manufacturer.
Using spare parts and accessories authorized by the manufacturer is in interest of safety.
Use of other parts may exempt the manufacturer from any warranty or compensation
claims.
2.6 Unauthorized modes of operation
The reliability of the pump delivered will be only guaranteed if it is used in the manner
intended, in accordance with this manual. The limit values specified in the data sheet must
under no circumstances be exceeded. These installation and operation instructions do not
supersede or exclude generally valid regulation and standards.
