1. GENERAL
1.1 About this document
These Installation and Operating Instructions form an integral part of
the unit. They must be kept close to the unit and in readiness whene-
ver required. Precise observance of these instructions is a pre-condi-
tion for use of the unit for the intended purpose and for its correct
operation.
These Installation and Operating Instructions conform to the relevant
version of the equipment and the underlying safety standards valid
at the time of going to prese.
2. SAFETY
This leaflet contents all safety instructions which must be followed
when installing and operating the pump. It is therefore imperative
that they be read by both the installer and the operator before the
pump is installed or operated. Both the general safety instructions in
this section and the more specific safety points in the following sec-
tions should be observer.
2.1 Instruction symbols used in this operating manual
Symbols
General danger symbol.
Hazards from electrical causes.
NOTE : .....
Signal words:
DANGER! Imminently hazardous situation. Will result in death or
serious injury if not avoided.
WARNING! Risk of (serious) injury. 'Warning' implies that failure to
comply with the safety instructions is likely to result in (severe) perso-
nal injury.
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the pump/installation. 'Caution' alerts to
user to potential product damage due to non-compliance with the
safety instructions.
NOTE : Useful information on the handling of the product. It alerts the
user to potential difficulties.
2.2 Personnel qualification
The personnel installing the pump must have the appropriate qualifi-
cation for this work.
2.3 Risks incurred by failure to comply with the safety instructions
Failure to comply with the safety precautions could result in personal
injury or damage to the pump or installation. Failure to comply with
the safety precautions could also invalidate any claim for damages.
In particular, failure to comply with these safety instructions could give
rise, for example, to the following risks:
• Failure of important pump or system functions,
• Personal injury due to electrical, mechanical and bacteriological
causes.
2.4 Safety instructions for the operator
The relevant accident precaution regulations must be observed.
Potential dangers caused by electrical energy must be excluded.
Local or general regulations [e.g. IEC, VDE, etc.] and directives from
local energy supply companies are to be followed.
• If high or low temperature pump/pump set components involve
hazards, steps must be taken to avoid accidental contact.
• Guards for moving parts (e.g. couplings) must not be removed from
the pump/pump set while in operation.
• Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) fluids (e.g. from
the shaft seal) must be drained safely so as to prevent any risk to per-
sons or the environment. Statutory regulations are to be complied
with.
• The pump should not in any case to running without liquid. The des-
truction of the sealing end shaft which can result from such a use
would cause leakes of fluid damaging the safety of the people and
the environment.
2.5 Safety instructions for inspection and assembly
The operator must ensure that all inspection and assembly work is
carried out by authorised and qualified specialists who have careful-
ly studied these instructions.
Work on a pump or installation should only be carried out once the
latter has been brought to a standstill.
Pumps and pump sets, which convey hazardous media, must be
decontaminated.
On completion of the work all safety and protective guards must be
re-installed and made operative again.
Prior to re-starting the machine, the instructions listed under "first com-
missioning" are to be observed.
2.6 Unauthorised modification and manufacture of spare parts
Changes to the pump/machinery may only be made in agreement
with the manufacturer. The use of original spare parts and accesso-
ries authorised by the manufacturer will ensure safety.
The use of any other parts may invalidate claims invoking the liability
of the manufacturer for any consequences.
2.7 Improper use
The operating safety of the pump or installation can only be guaran-
teed if it is used in accordance with paragraph 4 of the operating ins-
tructions.
All values must neither exceed nor fall below the limit values given in
the catalogue or data sheet.
3. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
When receiving the material, check that there has been no damage
during the transport. If any defect has been stated, take the required
steps with the carrier within the allowed time.
CAUTION! If the delivered material is to be installed later on,
store it in a dry place and protect it from impacts and any
outside influences (humidity, frost etc...).
Handle the pump carefully so as not to damage the unit prior to ins-
tallation.
4. PRODUCT
CAUTION! The pump is to be used only for the operating
conditions stated by the customer and confirmed by the sup-
plier. Guarantee is assumed within the scope of the SALMSON condi-
tions of sale.
Appropriate application and operating conditions are contained in
the attached data sheets.
4.1 Safety instructions
CAUTION! Never touch the pump casing before a cooling
period.
The pump may only be used for the application(s) stated.
Otherwise hazards for people and environment must be avoided.
CAUTION! Do not apply any thermal chocs to the pump.
Never cool it with cold water.
Do not exceed fluid density stated. Otherwise, there is a the
danger of motor overload.
The pump must not be operated beyond its characteristic curve –
otherwise there is a danger of cavitation and motor damage.
