1.2. Preface

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing one of our company's products. You have purchased a product which has been
manufactured to the latest technical standards. Read this operating and maintenance manual carefully before you
first use it. This is the only way to ensure that the product is safely and economically used.
The documentation contains all the necessary specifications for the product, allowing you to use it properly. In
addition, you will also find information on how to recognize potential dangers, reduce repair costs and downtime,
and increase the reliability and working life of the product.
All safety requirements and specific manufacturer's requirements must be fulfilled before the product
is put into operation. This operating and maintenance manual supplements any existing national regulations on
industrial safety and accident prevention. This manual must also be accessible to personnel at all times and also
be made available where the product is used.

1.3. Proper use

The HOMA products comply with the valid safety regulations and meet the demands of state-of-the-art
technology. In the event of improper use, there is a danger to life for the user as well as for third parties.
Moreover, the product and/or attachments may be damaged or destroyed.
It is important to ensure that the product is only operated in technically perfect condition and as intended.
To do so, follow the operating instructions.
The pumps can be used in the range specified by us at any time, in accordance with the current HOP.SEL
version.
We have selected the pump based on the data available to us. Please note that the offered pumps may only be
used in the defined field of application. Operating the pump outside the range of application can lead to
operational problems or significant damage to the unit. Particularly with long pipes, it may be necessary to start
the pump slowly via a frequency converter to slowly speed up the mass at rest. This is the only way to ensure that
the operation of the pump above the operating limit can be reliably ruled out. To select the frequency, we
recommend our leaflet "Frequency Converter".

1.4. Copyright

This operation and maintenance manual has been copyrighted by the manufacturer. This operation and
maintenance handbook is intended for the use by assembly, operating and maintenance personnel. It contains
technical specifications and diagrams which may not be reproduced or distributed, either completely or in part, or
used for any other purpose without the expressed consent of the manufacturer.

1.5. Warranty

Costs for removal and installation of the complained product at the installation place, costs for the ride of the
mechanicians to the location and from the installation place and costs for transport are not components of our
warranty. Hereby arose costs, especially costs for checking and transport are bearing by the sender or operator of
the pump. This is also valid for an asserted warranty claim if a check results that the unit works faultless and is
free of defects. All products have a high quality standard. Each product is defeated by a strict technical end
control before delivery. A warranty repair achieved by us does not extend the warranty period. Replaced spare
parts give no reasons for a new warranty period. Extensive claims are excluded, especially such as diminution,
change or compensation also for any kind of follow up damages.
In order to ensure that your guarantee claim is processed as efficiently as possible, please contact us or the
appropriate sales representative. Once your claim for a return has been agreed, you will receive a return
certificate. Please then send the rejected product, carriage prepaid, to the factory together with the return
certificate, proof of purchase and an indication of the damage. Claims made on grounds of damage caused in
transit must be established and confirmed on delivery of the product by the express company, the railway
company or the postal service.
