9.3 Service / Customer service
Our service department (ref. cover sheet of these
operating instructions) is always available for
work that is not described in these operating
instructions (fitting of replacement parts and
maintenance and repair work).
When returning units to us:
 before dispatch:
- Drain down the unit completely as de-
scribed in chapter 8.1, "Draining down",
page 23.
- Clean the unit internally and externally,
as described under "Flushing the pump cas-
ing", page 26.
 The unit must be delivered complete, i.e. not
disassembled.
 A suitable individual packaging is necessary
on dispatch to prevent transport damage.
 A declaration of conformity must accompany
the delivery as described in chapter 9.4,
"Decontamination and declaration of Clear-
ance", page 29.
 The unit's original data plate must be correctly
in place, intact and readable.
All claims against guarantee lapse where they
apply to systems which are delivered for an
estimate of damage to be made, and where
the system is without the original data plate or
where the original data plate has been de-
stroyed.
 In the event of any guarantee claim the manu-
facturer must be notified of the operating con-
ditions and duration of operation as well as
any other details on request.
9.4 Decontamination and declaration of
Clearance
 WARNING
Hazard presented by combustible, caustic or
poisonous substances!
 Units which have come into contact with haz-
ardous substances must be decontaminated
before being sent to a workshop!
Every unit that is sent to a workshop for inspec-
tion, maintenance or repair must be accompanied
by what is known as a declaration of Clearance.
The declaration of Clearance,
 which is included in the chapter, Form for
statement on safety", page 31in a form that
can be photocopied
 and is legally binding,
 must be completed and signed by authorized
technical personnel,
 must be completed separately for each unit
dispatched (i.e. one declaration for each unit),
 must be affixed to the outside of the unit's
packaging
 and a copy should be sent (e.g. by fax) to the
workshop which is to carry out the work, be-
fore the unit is dispatched.
This ensures that:
 the unit has not come into contact with haz-
ardous substances,
 a unit which has come into contact with haz-
ardous substances has been sufficiently de-
contaminated,
 the inspection, maintenance or repair staff
can, where necessary, take any necessary
safety precautions.
CAUTION
The inspection / maintenance / repair of the unit
at the workshop will only be commenced
when the declaration of conformity is in our pos-
session!
If the declaration of conformity is not delivered
with the unit then this could result in delays!
10 Disposal
The entire unit should be disposed of complete
for scrapping by a suitable disposal specialist. No
special measures need be taken in this respect.
Please contact our service department for further
information regarding disposal of the unit.
