PRECAUTIONS
1. General points
WARNING: During the installation, operation and maintenance of the
DOSOTRON water-powered dosing pump, the following safety instructions
must be observed: use suitable tools, protective clothing and safety goggles
when working on the equipment and install it in such a way as to ensure risk-
free operation.
WARNING: Follow the instructions in this manual and take safety measures
appropriate to the nature of the liquid additives and the water temperature. Be
extremely careful in the presence of hazardous substances (corrosives, toxic
substances, solvents, acids, caustics, flammable substances, etc.). For dosing
these substances, please consult your distributor before use to confirm com-
patibility with the dosing pump.
ATTENTION! The personnel in charge of installing, operating and maintain-
ing this equipment must be fully acquainted with the contents of this manual.
• When connecting a DOSATRON either to the public water supply line or to
its own water source, it is essential to adhere to the standards concerning
protection and disconnection. DOSATRON recommends a shut off valve to
prevent contamination of the water supply, where applicable.
• When connecting the DOSATRON to the water supply line, ensure that the
water flows in the direction of the arrows shown on your device.
• If the system is located at a higher level than the DOSATRON itself, there is
a possible risk of water and concentrate flowing back into the DOSATRON.
We therefore recommend installing a non-return valve downstream of the
device.
• Fitting an anti-siphoning valve downstream of the dosing pump is
recommended in installations where there is a risk of siphoning.
• Do not install the DOSATRON above a tank containing aggressive additives.
Move the can away and protect it from possible product fumes with a cover.
• Keep the DOSATRON away from significant heat sources and away from
frost in the winter.
• In winter, or whenever the DOSATRON is exposed to temperatures close to
or below 0°C, it must be protected from the cold and frost.
