DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
The pump itself and pump parts can be extremely heavy. Falling
parts pose a risk of cuts, crush injuries, bruises or impacts, which
may lead to death.
• Always use suitable lifting equipment and secure parts against
falling.
• Never stand underneath a suspended load.
• Make sure the pump is securely positioned and is stable during
storage and transport as well as prior to all installation and other
assembly work.
DANGER! Risk of burns or freezing to the pump when body parts
come into contact with the pump!
Depending on the pump or system operating conditions (fluid tem-
perature), the entire pump can become very hot or very cold.
• Keep a safe distance during operation!
• In the case of high water temperatures and system pressures, allow
the pump to cool down before all work.
• Always wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective
goggles when working.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
The tools used during maintenance work on the motor shaft can be
flung out if they come into contact with rotating parts, and cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
• The tools used during maintenance work must be removed com-
pletely before the pump is started up.
• If the transport eyes are moved from the motor flange to the motor
housing, they must be resecured to the motor flange following the
installation or maintenance work.
After the completion of all maintenance work, reattach the fan cover
with the provided screws so that the motor as well as the electronic
module are sufficiently cooled.
The air supply to the motor housing must be checked at regular inter-
vals. In case of contamination, ensure that an air supply is re-estab-
lished in order to allow the motor and electronic module to cool
sufficiently.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
There is a risk of fatal injury from electric shock when working on
electrical equipment. Following removal of the electronic module,
a potentially fatal shock voltage may be present at the motor con-
tacts.
• Check for absence of voltage and cover or cordon off adjacent live
parts.
• Close the shut-off device upstream and downstream of the pump.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
Falling pumps or pump parts may result in life-threatening injuries.
• When performing installation work, protect the pump components
against falling.
During the running-in period, a minor amount of dripping is to be
expected. Even during normal operation of the pump, slight leakage
involving occasional drops is common. Once in a while, however, a
visual inspection is required. If there is clearly detectable leakage, the
seal is to be changed.
Salmson offers a repair kit which contains the necessary parts for
replacement.
