1.1 Foreword
This product complies with the safety requirements of
EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The staff employed on installation, operation,
inspection and maintenance must be able to
prove that they know about the relevant
accident prevention regulations and that they
are suitably qualified for this work. If staff does
not have the relevant knowledge, they should
be provided with suitable instruction.
The operating safety of the system is only guaranteed
if it is used in accordance with the provisions given in
the confirmation of order and/or Point 4 in "Assembly,
Operation".
The operator is responsible for following the
instructions
and
complying
with
the
safety
requirements given in these Operating Instructions.
Smooth operation of the system can only be achieved
if installation and maintenance are carried out carefully
in accordance with the rules generally applied in the
field of engineering and electrical engineering.
If not all the information can be found in these
Operating Instructions, please contact us.
The manufacturer takes no responsibility for the pump
or pump unit if the Operating Instructions are not
followed.
These Operating Instructions should be kept in a safe
place for future use.
If this system is handed on to any third party, it is
essential that these Operating Instructions and the
operating conditions and working limits given in the
Confirmation of Order are also passed on in full.
These Operating Instructions do not take into account
all design details and variants nor all the possible
chance occurrences and events which might happen
during installation, operation and maintenance.
Alterations or changes to the machine are only
permitted by agreement with the manufacturer.
Original spare parts and accessories authorised by the
manufacturer should be used for greater safety. We
bear no responsibility for the consequences of using
other parts.
We retain all copyright in these Operating Instructions;
they are intended only for personal use by the owner
of the pump or the pump unit. The Operating
Instructions

1.2 Guarantee
The guarantee is given in accordance with our
Conditions of Delivery and/or the confirmation of
order.
Repair work during the guarantee period may only be
carried out by us, or subject to our written approval.
Otherwise the guarantee ceases to apply.
Longer-term guarantees basically only cover correct
handling and use of the specified material. Wear and
tear, parts that are subject to wear such as impellers,
mechanical seals or packing, shaft seals, shafts, shaft
sleeves, bearings, split rings and wear rings etc., as
well as damage caused during transport or as a result
of improper storage are not covered by the guarantee.
In order for the guarantee to apply, it is essential that
the pump or pump unit is used in accordance with the
operating conditions given on the type plate and in the
confirmation of order. This applies particularly for the
endurance of the materials as well as the smooth
running of the pump. If one or more aspects of the
actual operating conditions are different, we should be
asked to confirm in writing that the pump is suitable.
1.3 Safety regulations
These Operating Instructions contain important
instructions which must be followed when the pump is
assembled and commissioned and during operating
and maintenance. For this reason, these Operating
Instructions must be read by the skilled staff
responsible and/or by the operator of the plant before
it is installed and commissioned, and they must be left
permanently ready at hand at the place where the
plant is in use. The operator must ensure that the
contents of the Operating Instructions are fully
understood by the staff. These Operating Instructions
do not refer to the General Regulations on Accident
Prevention or local safety and/or operating regulations.
The operator is responsible for complying with these
(if necessary by calling in additional installation staff).
The safety instructions contained in these Operating
Instructions have the following special safety markings
as specified in DIN 4844:
Warning against possible damage to property or
the environment.
Warning against personal accidents which
could occur if the safety instructions given in
this part of the Operating Instructions are not
