3. Safety

This manual contains general instructions that must be observed
during installation, operation and maintenance of the pump. This
manual must therefore be read by the installation engineer and the
relevant qualified personnel/operators prior to installation and start-
up, and must be available at the installation location of the pump at
all times.
It is not only the general safety instructions given in this "Safety"
section that must be observed, but also all the specific safety
instructions given in other sections.

3.2 Qualification and training of personnel

The personnel responsible for the operation, maintenance,
inspection and installation must be appropriately qualified for these
tasks. Areas of responsibility, levels of authority and the supervision
of the personnel must be precisely defined by the operator.
If the personnel do not have the necessary knowledge, the
necessary training and instruction must be given. If necessary,
training can be performed by the manufacturer/supplier at the
request of the operator of the pump. It is the responsibility of the
operator to make sure that the contents of this manual are
understood by the personnel.

3.3 Risks when safety instructions are not observed

Non-observance of the safety instructions may have dangerous
consequences for the personnel, the environment and the pump. If
the safety instructions are not observed, all rights to claims for
damages may be lost.
Non-observance of the safety instructions may lead to the following
hazards:
• failure of important functions of the pump/system
• failure of specified methods for maintenance
• harm to humans from exposure to electrical, mechanical and
chemical influences
• damage to the environment from leakage of harmful
substances.

3.4 Safety-conscious working

The safety instructions in this manual, applicable national health
and safety regulations and any operator internal working, operating
and safety regulations must be observed.

3.5 Safety instructions for the operator/user

Hazardous hot or cold parts on the pump must be protected to
prevent accidental contact.
Leakages of dangerous substances (e.g. hot, toxic) must be
disposed of in a way that is not harmful to the personnel or the
environment. Legal regulations must be observed.
Damage caused by electrical energy must be prevented (for more
details, see for example the regulations of the VDE and the local
electricity supply company).
3.6 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and

3.9 Safety of the system in the event of a failure in the
DMX 226 dosing pumps are designed according to the latest
technologies and are carefully manufactured and tested. However,
a failure may occur in the dosing system. Systems in which dosing
pumps are installed must be designed in such a way that the safety
of the entire system is still ensured following a failure of the dosing
pump. Provide the relevant monitoring and control functions for this.
