Translation of the original instructions page 6 of 40 1 Safety information 1.1 General information + Read and comply with this manual before installing or operating the equip- ment. Remove all packing material, remove the product from its packing-box, remove the NOTICE protective covers from the inlet and outlet ports and keep, inspect the equipment.
page 7 of 40 Translation of the original instructions • Comply with maximum permissible pressures at inlet and outlet and pressure differences between inlet and outlet, see section ”Technical data”. Do not operate the pump with overpressure at the inlet. • Avoid overpressure of more than 1.2 bar absolute in the event that gas or inert gas is connected to the pump, to the gas ballast or to a venting valve.
Translation of the original instructions page 8 of 40 1.5 Operating conditions ➨ The pumps are not suitable to pump unstable substances and substances which react explosively under impact (mechanical stress) and/or when being exposed to elevated temperatures without air, self inflammable substances, substances which are inflammable without air and explosive substances.

page 9 of 40 Translation of the original instructions + Comply with applicable regulations when disposing of chemicals. Take into con- sideration that chemicals may be contaminated. Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous substances (chemicals, thermal de- composition products of fluoroelastomers). Use appropriate protective clothing and safety goggles.
Translation of the original instructions page 10 of 40 In case of overload, the motor is shut down by a self-hold thermal cutout in the wind- ing. Note: Only manual reset is possible. Switch off the pump and disconnect from the power source. Identify and eliminate the cause of failure. Wait approx. five minutes before restarting the pump. • Note: In case of supply voltage below 115 V, the lock of the cutout might be im- paired and the pump may restart on its own after sufficient cooling down. Take ap- propriate precautions, if an automatic restart of the pump may lead to a danger- ous situation (e.g., switch off the pump and disconnect from the power source).
