2. Safety

This chapter lists all the generally applicable safety instruc-
tions and technical information. Furthermore, every other
chapter contains specific safety instructions and techni-
cal information. All instructions and information must be
observed and followed during the various phases of the
product's lifecycle (installation, operation, maintenance,
transport etc.). The operator is responsible for ensuring
that personnel follow these instructions and guidelines.

2.1. Instructions and safety information

This manual uses instructions and safety information for
preventing injury and damage to property.
To make this clear for the personnel, the instructions and
safety information are distinguished as follows:
Each safety instruction begins with one of the following
signal words:
Danger:
Serious or fatal injuries can occur!
Warning:
Serious injuries can occur!
Caution:
Injuries can occur!
Caution (Instruction without symbol):
Serious damage to property can occur, including irrepara-
ble damage!
Safety instructions begin with a signal word and descrip-
tion of the hazard, followed by the hazard source and po-
tential consequences, and end with information on pre-
venting it.

2.2. Guidelines used and CE certification

Our products are subject to
• various EC directives
• various harmonized standards
• various national standards
Please consult the EU Declaration of Conformity for the
precise information and the guidelines and norms in ef-
fect. The EU Declaration of Conformity is issued in accor-
dance with EU Directive 2006/42/EEC, Appendix II A.
Also, various national standards are also used as a basis
for using, assembling and dismantling the product. These
include the German accident prevention regulations, VDE
regulations, German Equipment Safety Law etc. The CE
symbol is found either on the type plate or next to the
type plate. The type plate is attached to the motor casing.

2.3. General safety

Never work alone when installing or removing the prod-
uct. The machine must always be switched off before
any work is performed on it (assembly, dismantling,
maintenance, installation). The machine must be discon-
nected from the electrical system and secured against
being switched on again. All rotating parts must be at a
standstill. The operator should inform his/her superior
immediately should any defects or irregularities occur.
It is of vital importance that the system is shut down im-
mediately by the operator if any problems arise which
may endanger safety of personnel. Problems of this kind
include:
• Failure of the safety and/or control devices
• Damage to critical parts
• Damage to electric installations, cables and insula-
tion.
• Tools and other objects should be kept in a place re-
served for them so that they can be found quickly.
• Sufficient ventilation must be provided in enclosed
rooms.
• When welding or working with electronic devices,
ensure that there is no danger of explosion.
• To prevent suffocation and poisoning caused by ven-
omous gases, make sure that enough oxygen exists
at the workplace.
• Immediately after repair or maintenance work, all
safety and protection equipment must be reinstalled
and placed in function again.
• All other rules and regulations and local codes cov-
ering health and safety must be observed. In accor-
dance with product liability law, we point out that we
shall not be liable for damages caused by the pump
due to non-observance of the instructions and guide-
lines set forth in the operating instructions. The same
product liability are valid for accessories.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or serious dam-
age to property.

2.4. Operating personal

All personnel who work on or with the product must be
qualified for such work; electrical work, for example may
only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The entire
personnel must be of age.
Operating and maintenance personnel must also work ac-
cording to local accident prevention regulations.
It must be ensured that personnel have read and under-
stood the instructions in this operating and maintenance
handbook; if necessary this manual must be ordered from
the manufacturer in the required language.

2.5. Electrical work

Our electrical products are operated with single-phase or
three-phase-current. The local regulations (e.g. VDE 0100)
must be adhered to. The "Electrical connection" data
sheet must be observed when connecting the product.
The technical specifications must be strictly adhered to.
If the machine has been switched off by a protective
device, it must not be switched on again until the error
has been corrected.
Beware of electrical current!
Incorrectly performed electrical work can result in
fatal injury! This work may only be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
