Warning notes
NOTICE
Damage due to cavitation!
The pump capacity is reduced with increasing suction height. When
operating with great suction heights, high pump speeds and very high
discharge rates, the pump may cavitate. Cavitation causes extreme
pressure and temperature peaks which can destroy the pump. Cavitation
may sound like marbles are being pumped through the system. Cavitation
must be avoided by all means, because the pump internal parts (e. g.
impeller) might be damaged by this excessive load. A constricted suction
hose while external drafting may result in loss of the water flow.
In external drafting operations from open water never run the pump
without a strainer.
If cavitation occurs, reduce pump speed, suction height or water
discharge.
Never run the pump at high speed with a free outlet.
Monitor all display instruments of the pump.
Watch declining water level of the water source.
Use non-collapsible hose for drafting operation.
Damage to the vehicle and equipment due to failure to observe visible
or audible warning signals!
Monitor all visible and audible warning signals, measured value
displays and warning lights.
Observe training and operating instructions.
Damage to property due to departure of the vehicle with a supply line
attached!
To ensure readiness for operations, the pneumatic and electrical system
can be energized by a supply line from the parking bay. Driving the vehicle
out of the bay with the supply line attached can cause damage to the supply
line and the receptacle.
Manually disconnect the supply line before departure.
When using types with an automatic disconnection function at the
vehicle parking bay, use a self-retracting supply line.
Vehicle failure due to discharged batteries!
The vehicle battery discharges in case of continual use or while the engine
is not running with the ignition on or off.
Check the battery charge state regularly (every three months).
Charge or replace the battery if the charge state is low.
When the engine is shut down, switch off the ignition.
Disconnect the vehicle’s power supply in case of an extended period
of disuse (main battery switch off).
