GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
Any person being involved in assembly, disassembly, start up, operation and
maintenance of the BURGMANN Mechanical Seal must have read and understood
this Instruction Manual and in particular the safety notes. We recommend the user to
have this confirmed.
BURGMANN Mechanical Seals are manufactured on a high quality level (quality
management EN ISO 9001: 2000) and they keep a high working reliability. Yet, if
they are not operated within their intended purpose or handled inexpertly by
untrained personnel they may cause risks.
The machine has to be set up in such a way that seal leakage can be led off and
disposed properly and that any personal injury caused by spurting product in the
event of a seal failure is avoided.
Any operation mode that affects the operational safety of the mechanical seal is not
permitted.
Unauthorised modifications or alterations are not permitted as they affect the
operational safety of the mechanical seal.
BURGMANN mechanical seals must be installed, operated, maintained, removed or
repaired by authorised, trained and instructed personnel only.
The responsibilities for the respective jobs to be done have to be determined
clearly and observed in order to prevent unclear competencies from the point of
security.
Any work to be done on the mechanical seal is generally only permitted when the
seal is neither operating nor pressurised.
WARNING! Seals that have been used with hazardous substances must be properly
cleaned so that there is no possible danger to people or to the environment.
Apart from the notes given in this manual the general regulations for worker's
protection and those for prevention of accidents have to be observed.
