1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PAGE
1.2
As a result of the application of current EU law in the field of system operator's
liability and the associated issues surrounding permission to operate a system, we
would like to draw your attention to a requirement for operation that is mandatory
for our products:
Spare parts and expendable parts from other manufacturers are not
authorised for use in our products and breach the operating instructions
delivered to you with the product.
Using spare parts from other manufacturers may have a negative impact on
operating safety and safety at work. Any use of our products with spare
parts from other manufacturers is not permitted.
In the event that products are used with spare parts from other
manufacturers, any consequences for the operating licence of your overall
facility and any consequences under liability law shall be your sole
responsibility.
1.8 Specific points for the use of a NEMO
®
pump
A NEMO
®
pump must be used for the purpose only for which it was sold.
If you change or wish to change the process medium, you must check with either the
supplier or manufacturer that the pump is suitable for the new medium. This is
especially important with aggressive, poisonous or otherwise hazardous substances.
Pump criteria include:
1. Compatibility with the pumped media
2. Suitability for seal design / material, especially the shaft seal
3. Resistance to pressure and temperature of the media
The NEMO
®
pump is a positive displacement pump and as such is able to generate
pressures that exceed the pumps design limit.
A blockage or the chance closure of a valve in the discharge line can cause a pressure
rise manifold as high as can be tolerated by the installation. This can result in
the bursting of pipes, which must be avoided especially in the case of dangerous
media.
Corresponding safety equipment must therefore be installed, for example an
emergency stop button, a pressure relief valve with return pipe or a bursting disc.
During maintenance and repair work on the pump please note the following:
1. Ensure that the pump drive can not be turned on without authorization
2. When opening the pump follow the instructions for handling the medium (eg.
protective clothing, no smoking etc)
3. Before putting the pump back into operation ensure that all guards and other
safety devices (eg. drive–belt protection, coupling protection) are properly re–
installed
