AUTHORISED PERSONNEL

Only people that have the right skills should be al-
lowed to operate, adjust, perform maintenance or re-
pair on DAE Pumps equipment.
It is the responsibility of management to appoint op-
erators with the appropriate training and skill for each
category of job.
Skill level 1: Operator
An operator is trained in all aspects of operating the
unit with the push-buttons, and is trained to know the
safety aspects.
Skill level 2: Mechanical technician
A mechanical technician is trained to operate the unit
the same as the operator. In addition, the mechanical
technician is also trained to perform maintenance and
repair, as described in the instruction manual, and is
allowed to change settings of the control and safety
system. A mechanical technician does not work on
live electrical components.
Skill level 3: Electrical technician
An electrical technician is trained and has the same
qualifications as both the operator and the mechanical
technician. In addition, the electrical technician may
carry out electrical repairs within the various enclo-
sures of the unit. This includes work on live electrical
components.
Skill level 4: Specialist from the manufacturer
This is a skilled specialist sent by the manufacturer or
its agent to perform complex repairs or modifications
to the equipment.
In general it is recommended that not more than two
people operate the unit, more operators could lead to
unsafe operating conditions.
DANGERS WHEN NOT FOLLOWING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Not observing the safety instructions may lead to per-
sonal injury, damage to the equipment and environ-
mental hazards. Not observing the safety instructions
will void any warranty claim.

SAFETY-CONSCIOUS WORKING METHOD

All safety instructions in this manual as well as na-
tional accident preventing regulations and company-
internal regulations regarding labour, operation and
safety have to be observed.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a pump. Do not use pumps
while tired or under influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating
pumps can result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Use approved safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection, protective shoes and gloves.

SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE

The owner is responsible for adequate training of the
personnel maintaining the pumps. In principle all
maintenance has to be performed on a non-energised
pump. Observe the procedures as mentioned in the
manual.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Pumps must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor
6
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not abuse the power cable. Never use the power
cable to carry the pumps or pull the plug from an out-
let. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged power cables in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
Use a network protected by a ground fault circuit in-
terrupter.

CONVERSION AND SPARE PARTS

Conversions are only allowed after written consent of
the manufacturer. Always use original spare parts.
Unauthorised conversion and / or the use of nonorigi-
nal spare parts will void any warranty claims.

UNINTENDED USE

The reliability of the pump is only guaranteed when it
is used according the specifications in this manual.
The limits as indicated are not to be exceeded under
any circumstances.
Do not use the pump to transport water for human
consumption, for water well pumping or for installa-
tion in an explosive atmosphere.
Caustic, slightly inflammable and other explosive
substances such as petrol, petroleum, diluted nitrogen,
greases, oils and waste water from toilets as well as
sludgy water that has a slower flow capacity than wa-
ter, should not be transported using the pump. Salt
water may be transported provided that a zinc anode
kit is used for protection against galvanic corrosion,
see section options.
The temperature of the transported fluids should not
exceed 40°C.
The appliance is not suitable for use as a stationary
installation (such as a lifting device, fountain pump).
