During operation
WARNING
Risk of burns from hot surfaces and fluids!
The pipework, the pump housing, and the fluid can heat up to 80 °C (176 °F). There is a risk of skin burns if components are touched.
- Mark and close the working area.
- Keep not permitted persons away from the working area.
- Cool down the pump to ambient temperature after switching off.
While it is in use, examine these points:
- Pump prevented against flooding and water ingress.
- The motor is not submersible or watertight. Water ingress (condensation water, leakage) leads to a total loss of the motor.
- Level control works correctly.
- Pump does not run dry.
- Dry running leads to a total loss. Switch off the pump when the minimum water level is reached.
- If the product malfunctions, switch off the product immediately.
- Open all shut-off valves in the inlet and discharge pipe.
- The noise level depends on different factors, e.g. fixation type, operating point, etc.
- Measure the noise level during operation. If the noise level is above 85 dB(A), wear hearing protection and mark the working area.
