5.2 Initial commissioning
Fig.4: Main switch
CAUTION
Hot machine parts
Burns on hands and arms
► Never let the pump run dry for longer than 2 to 3 minutes.
► Before carrying out any maintenance work, let components which have
become hot during operation cool down.
► Wear your personal protective gear for all work carried out on the
machine.
The filter element is not included in the delivery.
uNote the following steps during Initial commissioning:
1. Ensure that all filter elements have been installed in the housing and
securely attached to the filter housing Section 7.4, P. 25.
2. Before the pump is switched on, the tube ends of the hoses have to
be immersed into the vessels to be drained/filled and secured against
sliding out or held in place by someone.
3. Plug the connector into the appropriate socket.
4. Turn the main switch to I.
5. Note that the unit takes about 10 to 15 seconds to completely fill the
filter elements, depending on the pumping height and viscosity.
Shortly afterwards, the pumped medium has to be emitted on the
discharge hose.
