General safety instructions
2 General safety instructions
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages caused
by disregarding any of the documentation.
2.1 Intended use
• Only use the pump with suitable media. Pump parts in con-
tact with media must be resistant to the media. (→Order
specification).
• Adhere to the operating limits and size-dependent mini-
mum flow rates.
• Avoid dry running:
Initial damage, such as destruction of plain bearings, seals
and plastic parts, will occur within a few seconds.
– Make sure the pump is only operated when filled with
the conveyed fluid and never operated when not filled
with the pumped liquid.
– Ensure that there are no excessively high amounts of
gas in the pumping medium.
– Ensure that the pump is operated only within the per-
missible operating range.
– Ensure that the use of shut-off valves or filters does not
cause the pressure on the inlet side of the pump to be
too low.
• Avoid cavitation:
– Fully open the suction-side fitting, if installed.
– Do not open the pressure-side fitting beyond the
agreed operating point.
• Avoid overheating:
– Do not operate the pump while the pressure-side fitting
is closed.
– Note minimum flow (→Data sheet).
• Avoid damage to the motor:
– Do not open the pressure-side fitting beyond the
agreed operating point.
– Note the maximum permissible number of times the
motor can be switched on per hour (→manufacturer's
specifications).
• Consult with the manufacturer regarding any other use of
the device.
Prevention of obvious misuse (examples)
• Observe pump limits of use regarding temperature, pres-
sure, flow and speed (→data sheet).
• The power consumption of the pump increases as the spe-
cific gravity of the pumped fluid increases. Adhere to the
permissible specific gravity in order to eliminate the pos-
sibility that the pump, coupling and motor become over-
loaded (→data sheet).
A lower specific gravity is permissible. Adapt the auxiliary
systems accordingly.
• Do not convey any media containing solids.
• The type of installation should be selected only in accor-
dance with these operating instructions. For example, the

Maintenance
7 Maintenance
Opening the pump casing invalidates the warranty.
When used for the intended purpose the bearings and seals are
virtually free of wear and will not require replacement during the
warranty period.
Maintenance and repair work should be undertaken in con-
sultation with Schmitt Kreiselpumpen. The chapter describes
maintenance not within the warranty period.
Maintenance during the warranty period will be performed
by Schmitt Kreiselpumpen. Submit evidence of conveyed
medium on request (DIN safety data sheet or confirmation
of decontamination).
