Page 25: Operation
Operation Operation Before switching on Check lubricant levels at both sight glasses and at the oiler as well. Protect the pump sufficiently from taking in contaminants by means of suitable precau- tions (e.g. protective strainer); if necessary, check lubricant regularly or replace at shorter intervals. - Page 26 Operation CAUTION Hot surface! Danger of burns if hot parts are touched. Depending on the operating and ambient con- ditions, the surface temperature of the pump may rise above 100 °C. In this case, use suitable finger guards.
