2.4 Safety information
WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous substances
that you have read the latest safety data sheets provided
by the manufacture of the hazardous substance. The
actions required are described in the safety data sheet.
Check the safety data sheet regularly and replace, if
necessary, as the hazard potential of a substance can
be re-evaluated at any time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring that
these safety data sheets are available and that they are
kept up to date, as well as for producing an associated
hazard assessment for the workstations affected.
WARNING!
Warning of personal injury and material damage
Only with Basic Type: The pump can start pumping
again as soon as it has cooled down after overheating.
– Take this into account when operating the pump.
WARNING!
Danger of electric shock
Supply voltage may be present inside the pump housing.
– Safely and quickly disconnect the pump from the
mains/power supply if the pump housing has been
damaged.
Only return the pump to operation after an author‐
ised repair.
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying around
Feed chemical may spray out of the hydraulic compo‐
nents if they are tampered with or opened due to pres‐
sure in the liquid end and adjacent parts of the system.
– Disconnect the pump from the mains power supply
and ensure that it cannot be switched on again by
unauthorised persons.
–Ensure that the system is at atmospheric pressure
before commencing any work on hydraulic parts of
the system.
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying around
An unsuitable feed chemical can damage the parts of
the pump that come into contact with the chemical.
– Take into account the resistance of the wetted mate‐
rials and the ProMinent Resistance List when
selecting the feed chemical - see the ProMinent
Product Catalogue or visit ProMinent.

nMotor fan cowling
nMotor terminal box cover
nPlug
In the event of an electrical accident, disconnect the mains cable from the
mains or press the emergency cut-off switch fitted on the side of the
system!
If feed chemical escapes, also depressurise the hydraulic system around
the pump as necessary. Adhere to the safety data sheet for the feed
chemical.
