for damages.
Non-compliance may result in for example, hazards given
below
Failure of important pump/plant funcons,
Failure of recommended maintenance and repair pro-
cess,
Exposure of people by electrical, mechanical and
chemical hazards,

ous substances,
Operang Personnel
All personnel parcipated in the installaon, operaon,
maintenance and inspecon of the product must be ade-
quately qualied. Responsibilies, capability and supervi-
sion of the personnel must be clearly dened by the plant
operator. Moreover, the operator is responsible for ensur-
ing that the contents of the operang instrucons are fully
understood by the personnel.
Unauthorised modicaons and procurement of spare
parts
The product has been designed and manufactured with the
greatest possible care and any modicaon may be made to
the pump only aer consultaon with the manufacturer.
Using spare parts and accessories authorised by the manu-
facturer is required to meet safety regulaons. Use of non-
original parts can invalidate any liability of the manufactur-
er for consequenal damage and may lead to a safety risk.
When operang the pump, the safety instrucons con-
tained in this manual, the relevant naonal accident pre-
venon regulaons and any other service and safety in-
strucons issued by the plant operator are to be observed.
During Operaon
If hot/cold machine components involve hazards, they
must be prevented against accidental contact.
Guards for the moving parts (e.g. coupling, fan) must
not be removed while the pump is running. Also make
sure that guards are never in contact with the moving
parts by using proper protecon parts
Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot)
uids must be drained away to prevent any risk to sur-
roundings.
Always close the terminal box to prevent hazards
caused by electricity.
5.1 Before installaon
Check the nameplate and performance curve to ensure
that the pump meets requirements of your applicaon
(Delivery head, ow rate, viscosity etc.).
Make sure that the product operates within its working
range. Only then the product performance is guaran-
teed.
Check the condion of the pump for any damage that may
have occurred during shipping.
Keep the pump vercal and prevent from falling down.
The electrical supply should be veried so the voltage,
phase and frequency match that of the pump motor.
5. Installing the product
4. Transport and storage
Transport the pump in the posion as indicated on the
pallet or packaging.
When moving the enre pump assembly by a crane, all
ropes must be mounted around the pump
The liing capacity of the crane and rope must exceed
the weight of the pump. Only qualied personnel are
allowed to li the pump. Do NOT use the terminal box
to li the pump.
Make sure the pump is stable. Protect pump from dam-
age during transportaon. The warranty becomes invalid if
damages occur during transportaon.
Do not remove the lever or protecon from the pump
before the pump is placed and mounted correctly.
If present, observe the instrucons on the packaging.
All pumps should be stored in a clean dry place. Avoid hu-
midity, dirt and any foreign materials from the pump and
do NOT remove the protecve plasc pipe ends during stor-
age.
During Installaon, Maintenance and Inspect
Only authorised and qualied personnel may install,
maintain and inspect the product and repair electrical
components. Observe the local safety regulaons.
Always disconnect the energy supply to the product
before installaon, maintenance and repairs and se-
cure disconnecon.
Surfaces of a pump can be hot, aer connuous opera-
on. Handle the pump with dangerous liquids with the
ulmate care. Decontaminaon of the pump is recom-
mended to prevent hazardous uids.
On compleon of work all safety and protecve facili-
es must be re-installed and made operave again.
Make sure that no one can be near rotang components
when starng a pump. Before restarng the machine,
observe the instrucons listed under ‘Start up’.
