Residual risks
Even with proper application and observance of all points listed in this operating manual,
there is still an estimable and unexpected residual risk when using the pumps. It may leak,
fail due to wear, application-related causes or system-related circumstances.
2.5.
Disposal after expiration of the expected lifetime
The metallic components like aluminium, stainless steel and carbon steel can be recycled.
Plastic parts are not recyclable and must be disposed of as residual waste. The pump must
be disposed of properly, according to local regulations. It should be noted that potentially
dangerous fluid residues may remain in the pump and can create a hazard to the operator
or the environment, therefore the pump has to thoroughly cleaned before disposal.
2.6.
Waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) directive
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of
life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework
available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize
any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due
to the presence of hazardous substances. The WEEE marking applies
only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are labelled in
accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC. Contact your local waste recovery agency
for a designated collection facility in your area.
2.7.
Actions in emergency
In case of a leakage of an unknown fluid, respiratory protection should be worn and contact
with the fluid avoided. During firefighting, no special hazards are to be expected from the
pump itself. In addition, the currently handled fluid and the corresponding safety data sheet
must be taken into account.
In the event of personal injury, the appropriate emergency number or 112 must be chosen.
