The man ufacturer does not accept any liability for damage
resulting from disregard of the entire documenta tion.
2.1 Intended use
• Only use the pump for pumping the agreed pumped media
(→ order data sheet).
• Adhere to the operating limits.
• Avoid dry running:
– Make sure the pump is on ly o perated with , and never
without, a pumped medium.
• Avoid cavitation:
– Fully open the suction-side armature and do not u s e it
to adjust the flow rate.
– Open the pressure-side fitting completely.
• Avoid damage to the motor:
– Note the maximum permissible number of times the
motor can be switched on per hour ( → ma nufactu rer’s
specifications).
• Consult the manufacturer about any other use.
• Pumps d el ivered without a motor mu st be assembled into
apumpunitaccordingtotheprovisionsofECMachine
Directive 2006/42/EC .
Prevention of likely misuse (exa mp les)
• Note the operating limits of the pump with regard to tem-
perature, pressure, viscosity, flow rate and motor speed
(→ order data sheet).
The pressures given in the order data s heet only app ly f or
approximate static pressure. Consult the manufacturer on
dynamically changing pressure.
• Whenmediacontainingsolids,ensurethelimitsforthepro-
portion of solids a nd the grain size are maintained (→ ord er
data sheet, technical description).
• When using auxiliary systems, ensure there is a continuous
supply of the appropri ate operating medium.
• Do not operate the pump while t he pre ssure-si de fitting is
closed.
• Only select the setup type according to these op erating
instructions . For example, the follow ing are not allowed:
– Hanging base p late pumps in the pipe
– Overhead installation
– Installation in the imme diate vicinity of extreme heat or
cold sources
– Installation too close to the wall
