Introduction
The key prerequisite for safe handling and
trouble-free operation of the pump is knowled-
ge of the basic safety instructions and industri-
al safety regulations.
The operating instructions must be read,
under-stood and observed by all persons re-
sponsible for operation or maintenance of the
pump. For this reason, they must always be
kept at the place where the pump is used. The
local safety and ac-cident prevention regulati-
ons and the „Safety" chapter must be strictly
observed.
2�1�1 Retention of documents
These operating instructions must be kept at
hand at all times for all persons working with
the pump.
2�1�2 Structure of the warning informa-
tion
The warning notes in these operating instruc-
