1 How to consult and keep this documentation
These operating instructions have been established by IPP Pump Products GmbH and refer to the
installation, safe utilisation and maintenance of the iLobe rotary lobe pump. In this sense this
documentation and the use and maintenance manuals supplied by the manufacturers of the single
components is an integral part of the iLobe rotary lobe pump.
The purpose of all the documentation mentioned above is to enable the users of the iLobe rotary lobe
pump to operate the pump safely and thus the documentation contains clear rules of use; this
documentation must be read carefully and understood by the users.
Please note that the specifications mentioned in any operating and maintenance manuals referring to
this pump, have been developed in order to assure the safety and healthiness of the users. For this
reason you as well as the operating and maintenance staff have to carefully read and understand
these instructions and have to be able to apply the indications / procedures.
The compliance with these indications renders possible the safe utilisation of the pump as well as the
execution of appropriate interventions. As indicated above the declaration of conformity as well as all
operating and technical maintenance instructions of the iLobe rotary lobe pump have to accompany
the pump in case of a resale of the pump. This documentation has to be kept carefully until the final
demolition of the pump and must be made available to the personnel appointed to operate the pump.
It is good practice not to damage the manual and keep it properly, Do not tear pages, dirty them or get
them greasy, never expose them to sources of heat and always maintain the proper layout. This
documentation and annexes must be made available to the personnel authorized to operate the pump
in such way that it can be consulted easily; to clear any doubts about its safe operation and / or the
execution of use and maintenance procedures.
The content of the technical manual reflects the state of the art at the time of construction of the
machine in question. The technical manuals cannot be considered inadequate, as a result of
technological improvements of the iLobe rotary lobe pump.
The technical documentation and relative annexes are completely confidential: IPP Pump Products
GmbH reserves all rights related to this use and maintenance manual and with the object presented
therein. The receiving party recognises these rights to IPP Pump Products GmbH in the person of its
legal representative, Mr. Thomas Moldenhauer, and undertakes, in the absence of an explicit written
consent, no to make it accessible to others, either in whole or in part and, not to use it outside the
purpose for which it was created. Any violators will be prosecuted according to law.
WARNING
For an appropriate safety management during the operation and maintenance of the iLobe rotary lobe
pump the complete technical documentation must accompany the pump, even in case of re-sale.
DANGER
The technical documentation contains information / procedures referring to the utilization and
execution of a safe maintenance of the iLobe rotary lobe pump. It must be kept near to the pump’s
location, at a place which is easily accessible for the operating staff. The person responsible for the
operation and maintenance has to be able to find the documentation and consult it at any time.
