Risks caused by the product

2.4.1 Risk caused by special location / ambient conditions
Risk caused by toxic and hazardous vapours, gases and substances (e. g. bacteria, viruses). If the backwater
pumping station is located in an inspection chamber, any necessary work must always be done by specialist
staff (see 2.2).

There is a risk of electric shock at the control unit if the plug for power supply to the pumps has been
dismantled. The union nut on the electric plug must be fitted so tightly that it cannot be loosened without a tool

There is a risk of a hazardous atmosphere occurring during work. Make sure the system is well aerated and use
safety equipment such as e.g. a multi-gas warning device if appropriate.
