1. General

1.1 Foreword

This product corresponds with the requirements of
the Machine directive 98/37/EG (former 89/392/EWG).
The staff employed on installation, operation, inspec-
tion and maintenance must be able to prove that they
know about the relevant accident prevention regula-
tions and that they are suitably qualified for this work.
If the staff does not have the relevant knowledge,
they should be provided with suitable instruction.
The operating safety of the pumps or units (i.e. pump plus
motor) supplied is only guaranteed if these are used in
accordance with the provisions given in the Confirmation
of Order and/or Point 4 in "Installation and Operation".
The operator is responsible for following the instructions
and complying with the safety requirements given in these
Operating Instructions.
Smooth operation of the pump or pump unit can only be
achieved if installation and maintenance are carried out
carefully in accordance with the rules generally applied in
the field of mechanical and electrical engineering.
If not all the information can be found in these Operating
Instructions, please contact us.
The manufacturer takes no responsibility for the pump or
pump unit if the Operating Instructions are not followed.
These Operating Instructions should be kept in a safe
place for future use.
If this pump or pump unit is handed on to any third party, it
is essential that these Operating Instructions and the op-
erating conditions and working limits given in the Confir-
mation of Order are also passed on in full.
These Operating Instructions do not take into account all
design details and variants nor all the possible chance oc-
currences and events which might happen during installa-
tion, operation and maintenance.
Alterations or changes to the machine are only permitted
by agreement with the manufacturer. Original spare parts
and accessories authorised by the manufacturer should
be used for greater safety. We bear no responsibility for
the consequences of using other parts.
We retain all copyright in these Operating Instructions;
they are intended only for personal use by the owner of
the pump or the pump unit. The Operating Instructions
contain technical instructions and drawings which may
not, as a whole or in part, be reproduced, distributed or
used in any unauthorised way for competitive purposes or
passed on to others.

1.2 Guarantee

The guarantee is given in accordance with our Conditions
of Delivery and/or the confirmation of order.
Repair work during the guarantee period may only be car-
ried out by us, or subject to our written approval. Other-
wise the guarantee ceases to apply.
Longer-term guarantees basically only cover correct han-
dling and use of the specified material. Wear and tear,
parts that are subject to wear such as impellers, mechani-
cal seals or packing, shaft seals, shafts, shaft sleeves,
bearings, split rings and wear rings etc., as well as dam-
age caused during transport or as a result of improper
storage are not covered by the guarantee.
In order for the guarantee to apply, it is essential that the
pump or pump unit is used in accordance with the operat-
ing conditions given on the type plate, confirmation of or-
der or in the Data Sheet. This applies particularly for the
endurance of the materials as well as the smooth running
of the pump. If one or more aspects of the actual operat-
ing conditions are different, we should be asked to confirm
in writing that the pump is suitable.

1.3 Safety regulations

These Operating Instructions contain important instruc-
tions which must be followed when the pump is assem-
bled and commissioned and during operating and mainte-
nance. For this reason, these Operating Instructions must
be read by the skilled staff responsible and/or by the op-
erator of the plant before it is installed and commissioned,
and they must be left permanently ready at hand at the
place where the plant is in use. The operator must ensure
that the contents of the Operating Instructions are fully
understood by the staff. These Operating Instructions do
not refer to the General Regulations on Accident Preven-
tion or local safety and/or operating regulations. The op-
erator is responsible for complying with these (if neces-
sary by calling in additional installation staff).
The safety instructions contained in these Operating In-
structions have the following special safety markings as
specified in DIN 4844:
Safety reference!
Non-observance can impair the pump and its func-
tion.
General Symbol for Danger!
Persons can be endangered.
Warning of electric voltage!
It is absolutely essential that safety information affixed di-
rectly to the pump or pump unit is followed and main-
tained so that it is always easily legible.
