Safety

2 Safety

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages causedby disregarding any of the documentation.

2.1 Intended use

• Only use the pump for pumping fresh or seawater on ships.

• Adhere to the operating limits and size-dependent mini-mum flow rate.

• Avoid dry running:Damage such as destruction of the mechanical seal andplastic parts will occur within the first few seconds.– Make sure the pump is only operated with, and never

without, pumped liquid.

• Avoid cavitation:– Fully open the suction-side armature and do not use it

to adjust the flow rate.– Do not open the pressure-side armature beyond the

specified operating point.

• Avoid overheating:– Do not operate the pump while the pressure-side fitting

is closed.– Observe the minimum flow rate (→ order data sheet).

• Avoid damage to the motor:– Do not open the pressure-side armature beyond the

specified operating point.– Do not switch on the motor more than the maximum

permissible number of times per hour (→ manufac-turer's specifications).

• Consult the manufacturer about any other use of the pump.

• Pumps delivered without a motor must be assembled intoa pump unit according to the provisions of EC MachineDirective 2006/42/EC.

Prevention of obvious misuse (examples)

• Note the operating limits of the pump concerning temper-ature, pressure, flow rate and motor speed (→ order datasheet).

• The power consumed by the pump increases with a higherdensity of the pumped medium. To avoid overloading thepump or motor, comply with the specified density (→ orderdata sheet).Lower densities are permissible. Adapt the auxiliary sys-tems accordingly.

• When pumping liquids containing solids, you must firstconsult the manufacturer and the agreed limits must beadhered to (→ order data sheet).

• When using auxiliary systems, ensure there is a continuoussupply of the appropriate operating medium.

• Pumps used for pumping water must not be used for food-stuffs or drinking water. The use of the pump for foodstuffsor drinking water must be specified in the order data sheet.

• Only select an installation type specified in this operatingmanual. For example, the following are not allowed:– Overhead installation– Installation in the immediate vicinity of extreme heat or

cold sources– Installation too close to the wall
