The following warnings and cautions should be read
carefully before starting the exchange of the
impeller.
The impeller could splash toxic or corrosive chemicals
because of the strong magnetic forces. Flush the
pump housing before opening it.
Harmful chemicals may be present.
Skin contact and toxic gases may be hazardous to
your health. Wear safety gloves and other appropriate
safety equipment.
Pay attention to the magnetic forces when handling the
impeller. The attraction of magnetic parts and particles
should be avoided in order to keep the impeller and the
pump head clean and free of contamination.
