Preservatives posing a health hazard (e.g. glycol)
Hazardous to persons and the environment!
▷ Observe the manufacturer's instructions on filling and draining.
▷ Collect and properly dispose of the preservative.
▷ Wear safety clothing and a protective mask, if required.
▷ Observe all legal regulations on the disposal of harmful substances.
If the pump has been filled with a glycol/water mixture for preservation, this mixture
has to be drained prior to any further work.
✓ A container for collecting the preservative is on hand.
1. Open the drain (6B) of the pump.
2.
Drain the pump.
3. Collect the drained fluid in a suitable container and dispose of it in accordance
with the environmental regulations.
4. Flush the pump sufficiently to remove all residues of the preservative.
5. Close the drain of the pump.
6. Remove the grease from the outside of the pump set components.
6.1.2 Filling in lubricants
DANGER
Ignition of lubricant leakage on hot pump surfaces
Explosion hazard!
▷ The ignition temperature of the lubricant should exceed the maximum surface
temperature of the pump by at least 50 K.
High quality oil of ISO viscosity grade VG 46 to DIN 51519 or ISO 3448, TD 46 to DIN
51515 or of similar quality.
When operating the pumps in potentially explosive atmospheres, lubricants have to
be selected whose ignition temperature / flash point exceeds the maximum surface
temperature of the pump by at least 50 K. Recommended oil quality: Shell naturelle
HF-M ISO VG-46 and Hydrosafe ISO VG-32 or oil of similar quality.
