Safety Instructions For Installation And Maintenance Work; Unauthorised Modification And Manufacture Of Spare Parts; Improper Use; Transport And Interim Storage - Wilo VBH 150 L Notice De Montage Et De Mise En Service

• If hot or cold components on the product/the unit
lead to hazards, local measures must be taken to
guard them against touching.
• Guards protecting against touching moving com-
ponents (such as the coupling) must not be
removed whilst the product is in operation.
• Leakages (e.g. from the shaft seals) of hazardous
fluids (which are explosive, toxic or hot) must be
led away so that no danger to persons or to the
environment arises. National statutory provisions
are to be complied with.
• Highly flammable materials are always to be kept
at a safe distance from the product.
• Danger from electrical current must be eliminated.
Local directives or general directives [e.g. IEC, VDE
etc.] and local energy supply companies must be
adhered to.
2.6 Safety instructions for installation and
maintenance work
The operator must ensure that all installation and
maintenance work is carried out by authorised and
qualified personnel, who are sufficiently informed
from their own detailed study of the operating
instructions.
Work to the product/unit must only be carried out
when at a standstill. It is mandatory that the pro-
cedure described in the installation and operating
instructions for shutting down the product/unit
are complied with.
Immediately on conclusion of the work, all safety
and protective devices must be put back in posi-
tion and/or recommissioned.
2.7 Unauthorised modification and manufacture of
spare parts
Unauthorised modification and manufacture of
spare parts will impair the safety of the product/
personnel and will make void the manufacturer's
declarations regarding safety.
Modifications to the product are only permissible
after consultation with the manufacturer. Original
spare parts and accessories authorised by the
manufacturer ensure safety. The use of other
parts will absolve us of liability for consequential
events.

2.8 Improper use

The operating safety of the supplied product is
only guaranteed for conventional use in accord-

3 Transport and interim storage

Immediately after receiving the product:
• Check the product for damage in transit
• In the event of damage in transit, take the neces-
sary steps with the forwarding agent within the
respective time limits.
CAUTION! Risk of damage!
Incorrect transport and interim storage can
cause damage to the product.
• Plastic tanks are impact-sensitive. The tank sur-
faces should not be exposed to any point forces.
• The tank must be drained completely before
transport.
• Transporting at temperatures below 5°C
increases the danger of material damage caused
by improper handling or the effects of impacts
as a result of the material properties!
• A sufficiently large pallet must be used for
transport in order to ensure load distribution
across the entire support surface!
• When using a crane for loading or transport, the
tank is to be raised with no fewer than 2 wide,
sufficiently load-bearing transport loops, which
are to be placed around the base of the tank!
• Tank attachments and connection ports may not
be used as supports for transport equipment!
• Short-term interim storage outdoors is possible,
although direct sunlight and temperatures
above 40°C should be avoided.

4 Intended use

Wilo break tanks made of plastic (with PE as
standard material) with the type designation GII
and GIII are used as depressurised break tanks in
accor accordance with DIN1988 for the indirect
connection of a pressure boosting system for
potable water supply to the public potable water
network.
Tanks of the FLA type are intended in particular for
use with pressure boosting systems as fire extin-
guisher supply systems in accordance with
DIN1988 Part 6. These tanks are equipped with a
noncircular type AB free drain in accordance with
EN13077 and EN1717 and can thus be used as
run-down tank containers for firefighting water
apparatus in accordance with DIN14462:2007-
01.
In addition, the respectively valid provisions and
requirements of the water-supply companies are
to be observed in connection with their use and
application!
Black PE-HWU is used as the tank material for all
types, which is in compliance with Recommenda-
tion III of the BfR (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewer-
tung [Federal Institute for Risk Assessment])
"Utilisation of polyethylene for the manufacture
of articles for daily use pursuant to §5 Para. 1 No.1
of the Lebensmittel- und Bedarfsgegenstän-
degesetzes [Food and Articles for Daily Use Law]".
