information that is of great importance for everyone concerned with the pump unit.
Ignoring the information can result in injury or damage (possibly severe) to the pump

The pump unit conforms to the European Machinery Directive. However, this does not exclude the possibility of
accidents if used incorrectly.
Use of the pump for an application and/or deployment of the pump in an environment other than defined at the
time of purchase is strictly prohibited and can result in a hazardous situation.
This is particularly true for corrosive, toxic or other hazardous liquids. The pump unit may only be installed,
operated and maintained by persons who have received appropriate training and are aware of the associated
dangers.
The installer, operator and maintenance personnel must comply with the local safety regulations. The company
management is responsible for ensuring that all work is performed by qualified personnel in a safe manner. It is
not permitted to make changes to the pump unit without written permission from Eekels.
If any changes are made to the pump without the written permission of Eekels disclaims all liability. Hearing
protection must be worn if the noise emission level exceeds 85 dB(A).
DANGER
Ensure that hot/cold and rotating parts of the pump are shielded adequately to prevent
unintentional contact.
It is not permitted to start the pump if such guards are missing or damaged.
The company management must ensure that everyone who works with/on the pump unit is aware of the type of
liquid that is being pumped. These persons must know what measures are to be taken in the event of leakage.
Dispose of any liquids that have leaked, in a responsible manner. Observe local regulations.
DANGER
Never allow the pump unit to run with a blocked discharge line. The heat build-up could lead
to an explosion
