•
Danger from electrical current must be eliminated. Local
directives or general directives [e.g. IEC, VDE etc.] and local
power supply companies must be adhered to.
•
Depending on the type, size and capacity (kW), the products
produce a sound pressure up to 75 dB (A) to 110 dB (A).
•
The actual sound pressure, however, depends on several
factors. These include, for example, type of prime mover,
installation type; fastening of accessories and pipeline,
operating site condition, background noise, etc.
•
Once the product has been installed, we recommend that the
operator makes additional measurements under all operating
conditions.
CAUTION!
In accordance with the laws in effect, guidelines,
standards and regulations, ear protection must be worn if
the sound pressure is greater than 80dB (A). The operator
is responsible for ensuring that this is observed!
2.6 Safety instructions for installation and
maintenance work
The operator must ensure that all installation and
maintenance work is carried out by authorized and qualified
personnel, who are sufficiently informed from their own
detailed study of the operating instructions.
Work on the product/unit must only be carried out when at
a standstill. It is mandatory that the procedure described in
the installation and operating instructions for shutting
down the product/unit be complied with.
Immediately on conclusion of the work, all safety and
protective devices must be put back in position and/or
recommissioned.

.7 Unauthorized modification and manufacture
of spare parts
Unauthorized modification and manufacture of spare parts
will impair the safety of the product/ personnel and will
make void the manufacturer's declarations regarding safety.
Modifications to the product are only permissible after
consultation with the manufacturer. Original spare parts
and accessories authorized by the manufacturer ensure
safety. The use of other parts will absolve us of liability for
consequential events.

.8 Improper use
The operating safety of the supplied product only
guaranteed for conventional use in accordance with Section
4 of the operating instructions. The limits values must on no
account fall under or exceed those specified in the
catalogue/data sheet.

.9 Safety & control devices
Direct controls are applicable when the pump is supplied
along with motor/panels. When motor/ panel is in end user’s
scope of supply, it is advised to go for CE approved motors
/panels.
Environmental safety:
Disposal of any unwanted/scrap material should be
disposed in appropriate way so as not to cause any harm to
the environment. No hazardous material is used in WILO
Mather and Platt MISO / PISO pumps.
NOTE:
To avoid ambiguity in the use of the word
„replace” the words „replace” and „renew” are used in this
manual in the following context: Replace - To put back, in
its existing state, a part or component that has previously
been removed. Renew - To substitute a new part of
component for a worn or damaged one.
3 Transport and interim storage
Immediately check the pump and transport packaging for
damage in transit upon receipt. Take the necessary steps
within the periods defined by the transport company in the
event of damage in transit.
DANGER! Risk of getting crushed!
The installation or removal of the product must not be
performed by one person alone. Measures should be
taken to bar persons from standing beneath a suspended
load. Furthermore, it is also prohibited to move
suspended loads over exposed workplaces where people
are present. The fastening devices should be adapted to
the conditions at hand (weather, hooking system, load,
etc.) Use suitable fastening devices to handle the weight
of the product.
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the pump!
Risk of damage due to improper handling during
transport and storage.
The pump should be protected against humidity, frost
and mechanical damage during transport and interim
storage.
3.1 Handling
(Refer figure 1, Pg. No.3)
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the pump! Risk of
falling!
Pumps should never be lifted with slings engaged below
the bearing housing. Eyebolts on pump top casing are
only for lifting top casing during maintenance. Do not lift
complete pump with the eyebolts. Safe working load of
wire ropes reduces with increase in included angle.
Never put down or pick up the product when it is not
secured. Tilting of the product should be avoided at all
costs.
Only suitable lifting gear and load carrying equipment with
valid test certificates and adequate lifting capacity for the
loads involved (such as belts/ wire ropes/slings) should be
used for lifting & transporting the product. If chains are
used, they should be secured against slipping along with
protective cover to prevent damage to the product, paint
and/or injury to personnel.
When lifting the pump in combination with the baseplate,
the lifting tackle should be attached to the lifting lugs
provided on the base plate side member. To lift the pump
the lifting slings should pass beneath the pump body at
suction and delivery flanges. (see lifting diagrams - see also
general safety Information, chapter 2 Pg. No.8) These must
have sufficient load bearing capacity to ensure that the
product can be transported safely.
