2 Safety
!DANGER
All the information contained in this section refers to hazardous situations.
In addition to the present general safety information the action-related safety
information given in the other sections must be observed.
2.1 General
▪This operating manual contains general installation, operating and maintenance
instructions that must be observed to ensure safe operation of the system and
prevent personal injury and damage to property.
▪Comply with all the safety instructions given in the individual sections of this
operating manual.
▪The operating manual must be read and understood by the responsible specialist
personnel/operators prior to installation and commissioning.
▪The contents of this operating manual must be available to the specialist
personnel at the site at all times.
▪Information and markings attached directly to the product must always be
complied with and kept in a perfectly legible condition at all times. This applies
to, for example:
– Arrow indicating the direction of rotation
– Markings for connections
– Name plate
▪The operator is responsible for ensuring compliance with all local regulations not
taken into account.
2.2 Intended use
▪The pump set must only be operated within the operating limits described in the
other applicable documents.
▪Only operate pump sets which are in perfect technical condition.
▪Do not operate partially assembled pump sets.
▪Only use the pump to handle the fluids described in the data sheet or product
literature of the pump model.
▪Never operate the system without the fluid to be handled.
▪Observe the limits for continuous duty specified in the data sheet or product
literature (Qmin and Qmax) (to prevent damage such as shaft fracture, bearing
failure, mechanical seal damage, etc).
▪When untreated waste water is handled, the duty points in continuous operation
lie within 0.7 to 1.2×QBEP to minimise the risk of clogging/hardening.
▪Avoid duty points for continuous operation at very low speeds and small flow
rates (<0.7×QBEP).
▪Observe the minimum flow rate and maximum flow rate indicated in the data
sheet or product literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage,
cavitation damage, bearing damage, etc.).
▪Do not throttle the flow rate on the suction side of the system (prevention of
cavitation damage).
▪Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.
▪Only use the respective impeller types in combination with the fluids described
below.

stop control device in the immediate vicinity of the pump (set) during pump set
installation.
2.7 Safety information for maintenance, inspection and installation
▪Modifications or alterations of the pump (set) are only permitted with the
manufacturer's prior consent.
▪Use only original spare parts or parts/components authorised by the
manufacturer. The use of other parts/components can invalidate any liability of
the manufacturer for resulting damage.
▪The operator ensures that maintenance, inspection and installation are
performed by authorised, qualified specialist personnel who are thoroughly
familiar with the manual.
▪Only carry out work on the pump (set) during standstill of the pump.
▪Only perform work on the pump set when it has been disconnected from the
power supply (de-energised).
▪The pump (set) must have cooled down to ambient temperature.
▪Pump pressure must have been released and the pump must have been drained.
▪When taking the pump set out of service always adhere to the procedure
described in the manual. (ðSection6.3,Page40)

(set) is only valid if the equipment is used in accordance with its intended use.
2.9 Explosion protection
!DANGER
Always observe the information on explosion protection given in this section when
operating an explosion-proof pump set.
Sections of the manual marked by the symbol opposite apply to explosion-proof
pump sets also when temporarily operated outside of potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Only pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identified as such in the data
sheet may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Special conditions apply to the operation of an explosion-proof pump set to
EUDirective 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
Especially adhere to the sections in this manual marked with the symbol opposite.
The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used in
accordance with its intended use.
Never operate the pump set outside the limits stated in the data sheet and on the
name plate.
Prevent impermissible modes of operation.

Design The pump is designed with an axial fluid inlet and a radial outlet. The hydraulic
system sits on the extended motor shaft. The shaft runs in common bearings.
Function The fluid enters the pump axially via a suction nozzle (5) and is accelerated outward
in a cylindrical flow by the rotating impeller (7). The flow profile of the pump casing
converts the kinetic energy of the fluid into pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to
the discharge nozzle (6), where it leaves the pump. At the rear side of the impeller,
the shaft (1) enters the casing via the discharge cover (4). The shaft passage through
the cover is sealed towards the atmosphere with a shaft seal (8). The shaft runs in
rolling element bearings (9 and 10), which are supported by a bearing bracket (2)
linked with the pump casing and/or discharge cover.
Sealing The pump is sealed by two bi-directional mechanical seals in tandem arrangement.
A lubricant reservoir in-between the seals ensures cooling and lubrication of the
mechanical seals.
