ENERAL SAFETY NOTES
Diaphragm pumps may only be used in line with the operating parameters
(pressure, temperature etc.) specified under "Technical data"!
The operator must check the compatibility of the pump materials with the
coating substance to be used. To ensure compatibility, refer to the safety data
sheet supplied by the manufacturer of the coating substance!
All work connected with installation and maintenance must be performed by
suitably qualified personnel. Always use original parts when replacing worn or
