2. Safety:
(from:“VDMA sheet 24 292“)
The operation manual at hand provides basic notes which must be taken into account during assembly, operation and
maintenance works. Therefore, before assembly and commissioning, this operation manual must be read by the
assembler as well as by the responsible personnel/operator at all costs. It always must be available on site of
operation of the machine/plant.
The general safety notes listed under the main point safety are not the only notes to be taken into account. Please
also observe the specific safety instructions, such as those for private use, listed under other main points.

is inserted.
Notes that are directly attached to the device, such as
- Directional arrow
- Characteristics of liquid connections
must be observed and kept in completely readable condition at all costs.
2.2 Personnel development and training
The personnel responsible for operation, maintenance, inspection and assembly must have the cor-responding
qualifications for those types of work. Area of responsibility, competence and the surveillance of the personnel must
be regulated precisely by the operator. If the personnel do not possess the necessary knowledge, they are to be
trained and instructed. By order of the operator of the pump, the instruction and training, if necessary, can be carried
out by the manufacturer/supplier. Furthermore the operator has to make sure that the personnel have completely
understood the content of the operation manual.
