The gauging unit is built in conformity with the latest engineering standards
and the accepted rules of safe design. Due observance of the relevant
health & safety and accident prevention regulations can be assumed. Never-
theless, the following residual hazards still apply:
CAUTION!
● The gauging unit may topple over and roll away! Always use the unit
on a level and firm surface and take measures to prevent it from rolling
away before putting it into operation.
● The hoses can work loose during operation! Make sure the hoses are
firmly in place.
● It is possible for tanks to be overfilled in manual and automatic
operation! This can cause water damage therefore the gauging unit
should never be left unattended while in operation.
● The pump housing can overheat if the impeller runs dry! Dry
operation of the impeller is only allowed for short times to calculate the
pipe volume (< 1 min).
● The pump can be switched on without the impeller guard! Never let
the pump run without the impeller cover on, not even for servicing and
maintenance work.
● Water may remain behind in the pipes and fittings and may freeze in
certain circumstances! Drain the pipes and fittings completely before
storage and transport. Do not store or operate the unit outside.
● Risk of skidding on leaking water!
