FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
It is strictly forbidden to modify,
remove, by-pass or override the safety
installations.
In the absence of prior written approval by the manufacturer, do
not carry out any modifications to the accessories and equipment
surrounding the hydrant which may jeopardise safety! Changes
at the hydrant carried out on one's own authority void the
manufacturer's liability for any damage resulting therefrom.
This applies also to installation and setting of safety devices and
hydrant, as well as welding at supporting parts.
1.2.4
Dangers when handling the hydrant
Our hydrants are designed to the state of the art and according
to the approved safety rules. However, these hydrants can
constitute a danger for persons and property especially when
handled by untrained staff in an unskilled manner or when
they are not used in accordance with their proper purpose. This
may cause danger to life and limb of the user or third parties or
damage to the hydrants and other property.
Access to the danger zone shall only be possible when the hydrant
is out of operation and when it is ensured that the conveying units
and the following units are shut down, in order to avoid danger to
the operating and maintenance staff.
Whoever, in the user's facilities, is engaged in mounting,
dismantling or remounting, operation and service (inspection,
maintenance, repair) of the hydrants, must familiarise
themselves with the applicable regulations in force locally.
Work at the hydrant site (as e.g. control, maintenance and repair
work) shall only be carried out when the area has been secured
and shut down and when power at the area has been switched
off.
Before removing safety devices and/or carrying out work on the
hydrants, the pipe section must be made pressureless to avoid
risk. Unauthorized, erroneous or unexpected operation, as well
as dangerous movements caused by stored energy (compressed
air, pressurized water, hydraulic system), must be avoided.
A copy of the operating and maintenance instructions must
always be available on site and must be protected against oil and
grease.
If necessary, or as specified by the rules, use suitable personal
protective equipment!
Any instructions concerning safety and dangers at the working
area must be observed and a written copy must be maintained
in legible condition and periodically renewed or replaced, if
necessary.
During operation, protective gloves must be worn.
In the event of changes to the hydrant or its operating
performance which might affect safety aspects, operation must
be stopped immediately and the problem reported to the relevant
department/person!
Before any maintenance operation on the hydrant, the network
section where the hydrant is installed must be isolated upstream,
and depressurized in order to relieve the hydrant free from
pressure. Failure to comply with this recommendation will lead
to a situation of danger to persons and property.
When maintenance and repair work at the hydrant has been
finished prior to commissioning of the hydrant, check whether all
safety devices and equipment have been remounted and make
sure that they are operative.
If work is carried out in the vicinity of the hydrant that may lead to
soiling (e.g. concrete work, masonry, painting, sandblasting) the
hydrant must be covered effectively.
1.2.5
Take care that there is sufficient space available for operation,
mounting and maintenance work. Access to the hydrant must be
provided in such a way that this work can be carried out by using the
appropriate technical means (tools, measuring instruments, etc.)
The operator should not work directly above the hydrant to
prevent personal injury.
The operator should not work directly above the hydrant to
prevent personal injury.
The user must provide adequate instructions in order to ensure
that the working area is clean and suitably arranged.
1.2.6
The technical data and performance may be modified
without prior notice depending on the technical advances.
