Only the MSP series are self-priming. For the
self-priming pumps, prime the pump casing
by pre lling before starting the pump and every
time when emptying the pump. Prime all other
not self-priming pumps by completely ooding
the inlet before starting the pump.
Repairs to the pump are only
allowed when the pump is not
active and the power is switched
off. The pump should be pressure
less, empty and at room temperature before
opening it or taking it out of the installation.
The valves on the inlet and outlet of the pump
must be closed. Pumps circulating liquids that
are health hazardous must rst be decontami-
nated. Make special provisions so that no other
operator mistakenly turns on the power supply
while someone is working on the pump. In a
noisy or poor visibility environment, display a
sign near the power supply switch to notify that
someone is working on the pump.
Certain types of pumps comply with
european regulation 1935/2004 EC
(materials and articles intended to
come into contact with food). However, this com-
pliance is only valid for the interior of the pump.
The end-user has to make sure no particles or
droplets of liquid can fall from the outside of the
pump or from the motor into the food.
It is forbidden to interchange parts of a pump
with another, even if they are original PACKO
spare-parts. The only exception is the repair with
original PACKO spare-parts with the same char-
acteristics. When ordering original spare-parts,
the data on the nameplate (serial number and
pump type) have to be mentioned every time. It
is forbidden to change the impeller to one with
another diameter or to install a motor of another
speed or power without written permission of
PACKO.
When using the pump at another duty point or for
another liquid not mentioned when you ordered
the pump, be sure the motor power is sufcient.
In case of doubt, contact PACKO.
PACKO pumps are manufactured to a high
quality standard and working reliability.
Yet, if they are not operated in accordance with
their intended purpose or handled incorrectly by
untrained personnel or not in accordance with
this manual, they may cause risks for person-
nel or the environment.
The user is asked to check as part of his security
program what effects a failure of the pump
might have on the environment and what addi-
tional safety measures to prevent personal
injury have to be taken.
The operation of the pump in unsafe conditions
is prohibited.
PACKO pumps must be installed, operated and
maintained by qualied personnel. Everyone
involved in installation, assembly, disassembly,
operation and maintenance of a PACKO pump
must have read and understood this manual
and in particular the safety notes.
Apart from the safety notes mentioned in this
manual, the general safety regulations and the
national regulations for the prevention of acci-
dents, as well as any internal labour, operating
and safety regulations supplied by the owner,
are to be observed. (E.g. 89/655/ EEC: use of
implements)
Any modication to the pump that may have an
inuence on its safety or reliability is forbidden.
If in doubt please contact PACKO.
