8.1 General
When all preparations as described in the previous sections have been carried out the startup procedure
can start.
Personnel responsible for the starting of the pump unit must be sufficiently informed about correct
operation of the pump unit and the safety instructions.
This manual must always be made available to the personnel.
Only start the pump after all assembly, connection and repair work has ended.
Before starting the pump/pump unit always check for visible damage. Any
damage or unforeseen changes must immediately be reported to the person in
charge.
8.2 Cleaning the pump
The pump still contains residues of mineral lubricating oil (originating from testing and possibly
preservatives). If these products are harmful to the liquid to be pumped, the pump must first be thoroughly
cleaned. To do this proceed as follows:
• Disassemble cleaning covers.
• Remove the drain plugs on the underside.
• Place a tray under the pump so any residues of mineral oil are collected.
• Have the pump run fully empty.
• Rinse the pump.
• Replace the cleaning covers.
Opening without
danger:
In the case of pumping volatile and/or dangerous liquids the
dangers of these substances must be taken into account
when opening.
