1 Introduction and Safety Subject area Requirements Service and repair • Inspections, service, and repairs are only allowed when the portable cable is disconnected from the power supply. • Work must be performed by trained personnel (preferably the manufacturer or agent) to ensure that the pump is restored to its original state of safety in regards to all flame-arresting paths.
• Clean-up of spills Exceptional sites CAUTION: Radiation Hazard Do NOT send the product to Grindex if it has been exposed to nuclear radiation, unless Grindex has been informed and appropriate actions have been agreed upon. 1.7 End of life product disposal Handle and dispose of all waste in compliance with local laws and regulations.
1 Introduction and Safety 1.8 Spare parts CAUTION: Only use the manufacturer’s original spare parts to replace any worn or faulty components. The use of unsuitable spare parts may cause malfunctions, damage, and injuries as well as void the warranty. 1.9 Warranty For information about warranty, see the sales contract.
2 Transportation and Storage 2 Transportation and Storage 2.1 Examine the delivery 2.1.1 Examine the package 1. Examine the package for damaged or missing items upon delivery. 2. Record any damaged or missing items on the receipt and freight bill. 3.
2 Transportation and Storage NOTICE: Never lift the unit by its cables or hose. 2.3 Temperature ranges for transportation, handling and storage Handling at freezing temperature At temperatures below freezing, the product and all installation equipment, including the lifting gear, must be handled with extreme care. Make sure that the product is warmed up to a temperature above the freezing point before starting up.

4 Installation 4 Installation 4.1 Precautions Before starting work, make sure that the safety instructions have been read and understood. DANGER: Electrical Hazard Before starting work on the unit, make sure that the unit and the control panel are isolated from the power supply and cannot be energized. This applies to the control circuit as well.
4 Installation For more permanent installations with a heavily contaminated pumped liquid, a settling pump-sump is recommended. Figure 1: Settling pump-sump Discharge line requirements The discharge line can be run vertically or horizontally, but must be without sharp bends. Proper horizontal and vertical installation Improper installation with a sharp bend Fasteners...
4 Installation The base should consist of a plank, a bed of coarse gravel, or a cut-down and perforated oil drum. Alternatively, the pump can be suspended with a lifting chain just above the sump bottom. Make sure that the pump cannot rotate at start-up or during operation.
4 Installation • If the pump will be connected to the public mains, then the supply authority must be notified before installing the pump. When the pump is connected to the public power supply, it can cause flickering of incandescent lamps when started.
4 Installation WARNING: Electrical Hazard If the power cable is jerked loose, then the ground (earth) conductor must be the last conductor to come loose from its terminal. Make sure that the ground (earth) conductor is longer than the phase conductors at both ends of the cable. WARNING: Electrical Hazard Risk of electrical shock or burn.

4 Installation CAUTION: Crush Hazard The starting jerk can be powerful. Make sure nobody is close to the unit when it is started. Check the direction of rotation each time the cable has been re-connected and after phase or total supply failure. 1.
5 Operation 5 Operation 5.1 Precautions Before taking the unit into operation, check the following: • All recommended safety devices are installed. • The cable and cable entry have not been damaged. • All debris and waste material has been removed. NOTICE: Never operate the pump with the discharge line blocked, or the discharge valve closed.
5 Operation CAUTION: Crush Hazard The starting jerk can be powerful. Make sure nobody is close to the unit when it is started. CAUTION: Thermal Hazard The surfaces or parts of the unit may become hot during operation. Allow surfaces to cool before starting work, or wear heat-protective clothing. NOTICE: Make sure that the rotation of the impeller is correct.
6 Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Precautions Before starting work, make sure that the safety instructions have been read and understood. DANGER: Crush Hazard Moving parts can entangle or crush. Always disconnect and lock out power before servicing to prevent unexpected startup. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
6 Maintenance Figure 3: Example of O-ring adjacent surfaces During the reassembly, always make sure that existing index markings are in line. The reassembled drive unit must always be insulation-tested and the reassembled pump must always be test-run before normal operation. 6.2 Torque values All screws and nuts must be lubricated to achieve correct tightening torque.
