7 OPERATION
7.1 Temperature
The pump will heat up during normal operation. Heat is
generated in the contact zone between the pressing
shoe and the hose. The heat is removed by the
lubricant and transported to the pump casing and cover.
Under conditions of high pressure and running speed,
casing and cover temperatures can reach values of
over 65 °C.
Under these conditions a person should not be in direct
contact with the pump surface to avoid injury by
burning.
7.2 Power rating
The pump requires a certain amount of power for the
specified operating condition(s). The gearbox and
motor should be capable of handling these powers at
the given revolution speeds.
WARNING
Do not touch the pump surface during
operation. The pump can run very hot.
WARNING
Overloading the motor can lead to serious
motor damage. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum power rating of the motor.
WARNING
Overloading the gearbox leads to
increased tooth wear and shortened bear-
ing life. This can lead to serious gearbox
damage. Do not exceed the maximum
power rating of the gearbox.
