Health and Safety Instructions

When carrying out any repair work the instructions in the "Safety Instructions for ABS Products" brochure and
"Installation and Operating Instructions" must be observed.
Prior to starting with any maintenance work the ABS units must be completetly disconnected from the mains by
a qualified person and protected from being inadvertently switched back on.
Prior to maintenance, any units that have been used in contaminated media, e.g wastewater
containing faeces, must always be cleaned, and if necessary, thoroughly decontaminated. The specfic
hygiene regulations of the respective application countries must be observed.
When carrying out any repair or maintenance work, the safety regulations covering working in enclosed areas
of sewage installions, as well as "good technical practice", must be observed!
WARNING: DANGEROUS GASES
Before removal of units in hazardous areas, the sump and surrounding area must be adequately
vented to avoid the danger of an explosion caused by a spark.
Observe all accident prevention measures and regulations!
Please use a safety belt and a life line when getting into the sump and work together with supervisory staff.
Ensure adequate venting
ATTENTION Repair on explosion-proof motors may only be carried out by workshops or
persons authorised for this. During repair work only original parts supplied by
the manufacturer must be used. Lifting equipment such as hoists, shackles, wire
ropes and wire clamps etc. must undergo a visual examination at regular intervals
(approx. every 3 months) for wear and corrosion and if necessary must be replaced.
Installation accessories (in particular for mixers and aerators) must undergo a visual
examination at regular intervals for wear and corrosion etc. and if necessary must be
replaced.
Changing the direction of rotation at control panels without a changeover switch should only be carried
out by a qualified person and for this reason this procedure is not allowed for cleaning hydraulics or
propellers.
The oil in the chambers of XFP pumps may be under pressure. Before opening the oil drain plug,
please always put a cloth over the oil filler screw, loosen it to release any pressure and screw it down
again! The regulations covering oil and grease or cooling liquids must be observed, any waste oil,
grease or cooling liquid should be correctly disposed of.
To avoid the possibility of injury from expelled objects when using a hydraulic press to assemble
components that require compression fit, ensure that the placed components are squarely aligned
beneath the hydraulic ram and are behind a protective screen.

Dimensions and Weights

ATTENTION Note the entire weight (see nameplate) of the ABS unit. The dimensions of the unit
can be found on the relevant dimensional sheet on the Downloads page of the
ABS Group website or EPM (Electronic Product Manual). The hydraulic curves and
impeller types can be found on the hydraulics curve sheet. The technical data and
weight of the unit can be found on the nameplate.
The ABS units are prepared for transportation by placing them on an adequately strong horizontal
surface. Care should be taken that they cannot fall over. The hoist must be adequately dimensioned
for the total weight of the ABS units (incl. all accessories which may be fitted) and must comply with
ABS submersible sewage pump XFP 80C - 150E
