NOTE
If shut-off is not possible, the pump will run in reverse direction.
The reverse runaway speed must be lower than the rated speed.
For prolonged shutdown periods:
1. Close the shut-off element in the suction line.
2.
Close the auxiliary connections.
If the fluid to be handled is fed in under vacuum, also supply the shaft seal with
barrier fluid during standstill.
Only turn off the cooling liquid supply after the pump has cooled down.
CAUTION
Risk of freezing during prolonged pump shutdown periods
Damage to the pump!
▷ Drain the pump and the cooling/heating chambers (if any) or otherwise protect
them against freezing.
