3.2.1 A device description and intended use
Your water pump has been designed solely to pump fresh water that is not in-
tended for human consumption.
The complete device consists of a fresh water pump that is driven by a combus-
tion engine that is bolted onto it. This unit is mounted in a stable tubular steel
frame with vibration dampers to provide elastic and low-vibration support.
The water pump is only to be used outdoors and within the indicated voltage and
nominal rpm ranges (see type plate).
The water pump must not to be used in potentially explosive environments.
The water pump is not to be used in environments where there is a risk of fire.
The water pimp must be operated according to the specifications listed in the
technical documentation.
Operator’s respon-
sibilities
It is the responsibility of the operator to provide the necessary safeguards in or-
der to protect his personnel and his property. Familiarize yourself with how to
stop the pump quickly in an emergency situation. Always switch off the engine if
you have to leave the pump unattended for any reason. Familiarize yourself with
using all of the controls and connections.
Ensure that anyone who will be operating the pump has received proper training.
Never let children to operate the pump. Keep children and pets well away from
the operating area.
Operating the
pump
Only pump water that is not intended for human consumption. Never attempt to
pump flammable liquids such as gasoline or heating oils as this might result in a
fire or explosion and cause serious injuries. Pumping seawater, beverages, ac-
ids, chemical solutions or other liquids that might cause corrosion will damage
the pump.
Any inappropriate use or any activities with the water pump that are not described
in these instructions will be forbidden misuse that is outside the legally defined
limits of the manufacturer’s liability.
3.2.2 Foreseeable misuse
Apart from the description of appropriate use, the lawmaker also requires
concrete references to the results of “reasonably foreseeable misuse“. The
manufacturer's EU Declaration of Conformity as well as the operating li-
cence will lapse automatically in the event of the water pump being incor-
rectly used or handled inappropriately. For products with a manufacturer’s
warranty the manufacturer will reject any claims made under warranty for
damages which were caused by misuse and its direct as well as indirect
consequences.
In particular unauthorised misapplications include:
• operating the Water pump without making valid checks for
– electrical safety
– checking that the stipulated servicing and maintenance work has been
done
• any constructional or electrical modifications that were made to the water
pump
• inadequately trained operating personnel using the water pump
• ensuring that flammable or corrosive liquids are not being pumped. Corro-
sion will damage the pump's parts.
Furthermore at all costs avoid the following Misuses:

11
Product identification
• Never refuel the water pump’s own tank when the engine is running. The vi-
brations and strong exhaust streams during operation can lead to fuel spill-
age. This leads to an increased risk of explosion and fire and therefore
danger to operating personnel, the environment and the device.
• Never refuel the water pump’s own tank when it is hot. Overflowing fuel and
exhaust fuel vapours can ignite on hot parts of the device.
• Never connect the water pump into other pumping systems.
• Never place the water pump in potentially explosive environments. The water
pump’s individual components have not been designed as Ex-protected
components.
• Never operate the water pump in rooms, narrow pits or vehicles. The com-
bustion exhaust gases contain poisonous substances including the odour-
less but deadly gas carbon monoxide (CO) which, when breathed in, can
accumulate in cases of poor air circulation to reach deadly concentrations.
Poor fresh air circulation will also lead to overheating and possibly damage
the water pump to the point where it will be destroyed.
• For the same reasons of risk, never divert exhaust gases for the purposes of
heating rooms or vehicles.
• Never use a high pressure cleaner or a strong jet of water to clean the water
pump.
• Never allow water to get inside the water pump. Never pour water over the
engine and never clean it using a water hose or a high pressure cleaner.

4.2 General safety instructions
ENDRESS water pumps have been designed to pump water that is not in-
tended for human consumption. Other uses can lead to severe injuries to
operating personnel as well as persons nearby. There is also increased risk
of damaging the water pump as well as further damage to equipment.
DANGER!
Mortal danger due to an electric shock if live parts are touched.
► Never operate the device if it is in a damaged condition.
► Never operate the device with wet hands.
The majority of injuries and damage to equipment can be avoided if all instruc-
tions given in this manual and all instructions attached to the device are followed.
The water pump must not be modified in any way, not even temporarily. This can
lead to a mortal risk to operating and deployed personnel and damage to the unit
as well as the consumers being used.
Operating company and Operating personnel are only to use the water pump ac-
cording to regulations contained in the entire technical documentation (hereinaf-
ter referred to as appropriate use).
Every instance of inappropriate use as well as all water pump activities that are
not described in these instructions are forbidden misuse and they are outside the
legally defined limits of the manufacturer’s liability. In return all claims for damag-
es and claims made under warranty to ENDRESS-Elektrogerätebau GmbH
which are associated with misuse are null and void.
4.3 Residual risks
As a manufacturer of EU-compliant machines, ENDRESS make great ef-
forts to create designs which already eliminate possible risk potentials at
the design stage. If this is not possible without significantly impairing the
functions of a device, we implement suitable protective measures protect
the user from injury.
If there are still some residual risks associated with working with the de-
vice, we clearly advise the user about these sources of danger, possible
consequences as well as measures to avoid such dangers.
The residual dangers were analysed and Residual dangers identified by a risk
analysis during the development and design of your Water pump according to the
following: DIN EN 60204, DIN EN ISO 12100 and DIN EN ISO 8528-13.
References to general sources of danger can be found in Chapters 4 . From
Chapter 5 one can find concrete warning notices placed before every action step
which represents a residual risk.
The exact structure and contents of warning notices are defined in the
ISO 3864 series of standards and follow an established identification mark-
ing required to immediately be able to estimate the degree of the respective
danger. Exactly impress upon yourself the identification marking of the
four different danger levels in order to be able to reliably assess the dan-
gers associated with the individual operating states and action steps when
reading the operating manual.
