2.4 Safety regulations for owner/operator
All safety instructions contained in this manual, all relevant national and local health and
safety codes and any other service and safety instructions issued by the owner shall be
complied with.
2.5 Safety instructions relevant for operation
Always follow these safety instructions before using the pump:
Danger of electric shock:
 Protect plug-and-socket connections against moisture and increasing water levels in
flood areas.
 When using the pump in swimming pools or ponds and the surrounding area
DIN/VDE 0100 must be complied with.
 Hazards resulting from electricity are to be prevented (see for example, the national-
specifications or the regulations of your local electricity supply company)
General danger
 If hot or cold machine components involve hazards, they must be guarded against
accidental contact.
 Guards for moving parts (e.g. couplings, nozzles) must not be removed from the ma-
chine while in operation.
 In dry-well installation (suction mode) the motor housing heats up after a lengthy op-
erating period. You must therefore only use the hinged handles provided on the pump
transport cage to transport the pump and avoid direct contact with the motor housing.
Always wear protective gloves too.
 When pumping hot fluids the pump always becomes as hot as the pumped fluid. In
this case you must only touch the pump if you are wearing suitable protective gloves.
 In pumping mode strong suction is produced at the intake area of the pump. It is
therefore necessary to ensure that while the pump is running you never allow your
hands, feet, loose clothing (e.g. ties) or jewellery (e.g. chains) to get into the area of
the pump intake (suction side) or pump discharge (pressure side). There is risk of
shearing injuries or getting tangled.
 The protection against contact (intake ports) for moving parts (impeller) may not be
removed if the machines are in operation. The pump itself may not be operated with-
out the appropriate protection against contact.
 Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) fluids (e.g. from the shaft seal)
must be drained away so as to prevent any risk to persons or the environment. Statu-
tory regulations are to be complied with.
Damage of the pump due to inappropriate use:
 Store the pump in dry rooms only. If kept dry and clean the pump can be stored down
to a minimum temperature of –20°C. The flooded pump must not freeze.
 Always use the carrying handles or the transport cart to transport the pump.
 Never lift or lower the pump by the power cable or connected hoses. Always use
chains or suitable ropes.
 The pump must not be excessively tilted as operating liquid could otherwise run out
of the engine. See the Engine Subaru User Manual for further details.
2.6 Safety instructions relevant for maintenance, inspection and assembly work
It shall be the user’s responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assem-
bly work is performed by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately famil-
iarized themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail.
Any work on the machine shall only be performed when it is at stand-still, it is being im-
perative that the procedure for shutting down the machine described in this manual as
well as in the operating manual engine Subaru be followed. Pumps and pump units which
convey hazardous media must be decontaminated. All waste emissions such as used oil
must be appropriately disposed of, oil spills must be cleaned up and emissions to the en-
