12.1 Dangers during servicing
The following safety instructions must be observed strictly:
o Have all work carried out only by authorized qualified personnel.
o Before beginning work on the pump ensure that the electrical power supply is deenergized and is
secured against being switched back on.
o Before beginning work, let the pump unit cool down slowly to the ambient temperature. Avoid
rapid temperature changes.
o Pumped liquids can be hot, poisonous, combustible and caustic. Use corresponding protective
equipment.
o Ensure that the pump is depressurized and that shut-off devices are not operated uncontrolled.
o Collect any discharging pumped liquid safely and dispose of it in an environmentally compatible
manner in accordance with the applicable local regulations.
o Ensure that the collection tank for discharging pumped liquids is sufficiently large.
o Observe the tightening torques Ä Appendix,Page58.
o Observe the operating instructions and data sheets of the components.
