1.2. Preface
Dear Customer,
manufactured to the latest technical standards. Read this operating and maintenance manual carefully before you
first use it. This is the only way to ensure that the product is safely and economically used.
The documentation contains all the necessary specifications for the product, allowing you to use it properly. In
addition, you will also find information on how to recognize potential dangers, reduce repair costs and downtime,
and increase the reliability and working life of the product.
All safety requirement
equirements must be fulfilled before the product is put into
operation. This operating and maintenance manual supplements any existing national regulations on industrial
safety and accident prevention. This manual must also be accessible to personnel at all times and also be made
available where the product is used.
1.3. Proper use
The products comply with the valid safety regulations and meet the demands of state-of-the-art technology. In the
event of improper use, there is a danger to life for the user as well as for third parties. Moreover, the product
and/or attachments may be damaged or destroyed.
It is important to ensure that the product is only operated in technically perfect condition and as intended.
To do so, follow the operating instructions.
We have selected the pump based on the data available to us. Please note that the offered pumps may only be
used in the defined field of application. Operating the pump outside the range of application can lead to
operational problems or significant damage to the unit. Particularly with long pipes, it may be necessary to start
the pump slowly via a frequency converter to slowly speed up the mass at rest. This is the only way to ensure that
the operation of the pump above the operating limit can be reliably ruled out.

maintenance handbook is intended for the use by assembly, operating and maintenance personnel. It contains

1.5. Warranty
Costs for removal and installation of the complained product at the installation place, costs for the ride of the
mechanicians to the location and from the installation place and costs for transport are not components of our
warranty. Hereby arose costs, especially costs for checking and transport are bearing by the sender or operator of
the pump. This is also valid for an asserted warranty claim if a check results that the unit works faultless and is
free of defects. All products have a high quality standard. Each product is defeated by a strict technical end
control before delivery. A warranty repair achieved by us does not extend the warranty period. Replaced spare
parts give no reasons for a new warranty period. Extensive claims are excluded, especially such as diminution,
change or compensation also for any kind of follow up damages.
In order to ensure that your guarantee claim is processed as efficiently as possible, please contact us or the
appropriate sales representative.
