installed, operated and maintained by persons who have received appropriate training and are
aware of the associated dangers.
The installer, operator and maintenance personnel must comply with the local safety regulations.
The company management is responsible for ensuring that all work is performed by qualified
personnel in a safe manner. It is not permitted to make changes to the pump unit without written
permission from Varisco.
If any changes are made to the pump without the written permission of Varisco, Varisco disclaims
all liability. Hearing protection must be worn if the noise emission level exceeds 85 dB(A).
Ensure that hot/cold and rotating parts of the pump are shielded adequately to prevent
unintentional contact.
It is not permitted to start the pump if such guards are missing or damaged.
The company management must ensure that everyone who works with/on the pump unit is aware
of the type of liquid that is being pumped. These persons must know what measures are to be
taken in the event of leakage.
Dispose of any liquids that have leaked, in a responsible manner. Observe local regulations
Never allow the pump unit to run with a blocked discharge line. The heat build-up could lead to
an explosion
