Notes on return to the factory
Repair - return - DKD calibration
Safety and health of our staff, laws and regulations regarding the handling of danger-
ous goods, occupational health and safety regulations and regulations regarding safe
disposal of waste require that for all pumps and other products the “Health and safety
clearance form“ must be send to our office duly completed and signed before any
equipment is dispatched to our premises.
Fax or post a completed copy of the health and safety clearance form to us in advance.
The declaration must arrive before the equipment. Enclose a second completed copy
with the product. If the equipment is contaminated you must notify the carrier.
No repair / DKD calibration is possible unless the correctly completed form is
returned. Inevitably, there will be a delay in processing the equipment if informa-
tion is missing or if this procedure is not obeyed.
If the product has come in contact with chemicals, radioactive substances or other
substances dangerous to health or environment, the product must be decontaminated
prior to sending it back to the factory.
☞ Return the product to us disassembled and cleaned and accompanied by a cer-
tificate verifying decontamination or
☞ Contact an industrial cleaning and decontamination service directly or
☞ Authorize us to send the product to an industrial cleaning facility at your expense.
To expedite repair and to reduce costs, please enclose a detailed description of the
problem and the product´s operating conditions with every product returned for repair.
We submit quotations only on request and always at the customer´s expense. If an
order is given, the costs incurred are offset from the costs for repair or from the pur-
chase price, if the customer prefers to buy a new product instead of repairing the
defective one.
☞
☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ If you do not wish a repair on the basis of our quotation, the equipment might
be returned to you disassembled and at your charge!
In many cases, the components must be cleaned in the factory prior to repair.
For cleaning we use an environmentally responsible water based process. Unfortu-
nately the combined attack of elevated temperature, cleaning agent, ultrasonic treat-
ment and mechanical stress (from pressurised water) may result in damage to the
paint. Please mark in the health and safety clearance form if you wish a repaint at
your expense just in case such a damage should occur.
We also replace parts due to optical aspects upon your request.
Before returning the equipment ensure that (if applicable):
☞ Oil has been drained and an adequate quantity of fresh oil has been filled in to
protect against corrosion.
☞ Equipment has been cleaned and/or decontaminated.
☞ All inlet and outlet ports have been sealed.
☞ Equipment has been properly packed, if necessary, please order an original pack-
aging (costs will be charged), marked as appropriate and the carrier has been noti-
fied.
☞ Ensure that the completed health and safety declaration is enclosed.
We hope for your understanding for these measures, which are beyond our control.
Scrapping and waste disposal:
Dispose of the equipment and any components removed from it safely in accordance
with all local and national safety and environmental requirements. Particular care must
be taken with components and waste oil which have been contaminated with danger-
ous substances from the process. Do not incinerate fluoroelastomer seals and “O“
rings.
☞ You may authorize us to dispose of the equipment at your expense.
