2.2 General safety information
• When installing or removing the pump, never
work alone in rooms and sump. A second person
must always be present.
• The pump must always be switched off before
any work is performed on it (assembly, disman-
tling, maintenance, installation). The pump must
be disconnected from the electrical system and
secured against being switched on again. All
rotating parts must have come to a standstill.
• The operator must report any faults or irregulari-
ties that occur to a line manager immediately.
• The end-user must shut down the equipment im-
mediately if defects occur that represent a safety
risk. These include:
• Failure of the safety and/or monitoring devices
• Damage to important parts
• Damage to electrical equipment, cables and
insulations.
• Tools and other objects should only be kept in
their designated places so that they can be found
quickly.
• Sufficient aeration must be provided when work-
ing in enclosed rooms.
• When welding and/or working with electronic
devices, make sure there is no risk of explosion.
• Only use lifting gear which is legally defined as
such and officially approved.
• The lifting gear must be kept safely and must be
suitable for the conditions of use (weather, hook-
ing unit, load, etc.).
• Mobile equipment for lifting loads should be
used in such a way that it is guaranteed to remain
stable during operation.
