2 Notes on safety
This operating manual contains fundamental informa-
tion which is to be observed during installation, opera-
tion and maintenance. It must be read before instal-
lation and commissioning.
This operating manual must always be available at the
place of use of the machine/plant.
In addition to the general notes on safety under the
main heading “Safety”, special notes on safety are
included at other points and must be observed.
Installation, operation and maintenance are to be per-
formed by skilled staff.
The area of responsibility, authority and supervision of
the staff must be exactly regulated by the customer.
If the staff do not have the necessary expertise, they
are to be trained and instructed.
If necessary, this can be provided by the manufac-
turer/supplier on behalf of the machine operator.
General hazard symbol! People may be put
at risk.
Safety symbol! The pump and its function
may be put at risk if this safety symbol is not
observed.
EU Symbol! Explosion-protected equipment
must be identified for work in explosive at-
mospheres.
Warning of a magnetic field!
Warning of electric power!
The following warning sign must be used if
people with a pacemaker are at risk, e.g.
from a strong magnetic field.
It is imperative to observe signs attached directly to
the pump / unit, e.g.:
♦ Direction of rotation arrow
♦ Warning against dry-running
and they are to be kept legible.
Non-observance of the notes on safety may result
in the loss of any and all claims for damages.
Non-observance may involve the following hazards :
♦ Failure of important functions of the machine/plant.
♦ Failure of electronic equipment and measuring
instruments due to magnetic fields.
♦ Risk to people and their personal property from
magnetic fields.
♦ Risk to people from electric, mechanical and
chemical effects.
♦ Risks to the environment through leaks of hazard-
ous substances.
If the unit is used in potentially explosive
areas, special attention is to be paid to the
sections identified with “Ex” in this operat-
ing manual.
