parts subject to wear, such as impellers, shaft seals,
shafts, shaft sleeves, bearings, wear rings etc. or
damage caused by transport or improper handling.
In order for the guarantee to apply, it is essential that

These Operating Instructions contain important
instructions which must be followed when the pump is
assembled and commissioned and during operating
and maintenance. For this reason, these Operating

responsible and/or by the operator of the plant before
it is installed and commissioned, and they must be left
permanently available at the place where the pump or
pump unit is in use.
These Operating Instructions do not refer to the
General Regulations on Accident Prevention or
local safety and/or operating regulations. The
