It is imperative to observe signs that are attached directly to the machine (for example,
rotational direction arrow, sign for fluid connections) and must be kept fully legible.

1.2 Personnel qualifications and training

The personnel responsible for operation, maintenance, inspection and assembly have to have
the corresponding qualifications for those types of work. Area of responsibility, competence
and the surveillance of the personnel have to be regulated precisely by the operator. If the
personnel do not possess the necessary knowledge, they have to be trained and instructed.
By order of the operator, the instruction and training, if necessary, can be carried out by the
manufacturer/supplier. Furthermore the operator has to make sure that the personnel have
completely understood the content of the operation manual.

1.3 Dangers from non-observance of the safety instructions

Non-observance of the safety instructions can result in danger to persons and damage to the
environment and the machine. Non-observance of the safety instructions can lead to loss of
any claims for damage compensation.
In detail, non-observance can for instance involve the following hazards :
• Failure of important machine/system functions
• Failure of prescribed methods for maintenance and repairs
• Danger to persons through electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards
• Danger to the environment through leakage of harmful substances

1.4 Safety-awareness at work

The safety instructions described in this Operating Manual, the valid national regulations on
accident prevention, and possible internal regulations of the customer on work, operation
and safety are to be observed.

1.5 Safety instructions for the customer/operator

• Hot or cold machine components which could cause danger have to be secured against
contact by the customer.
• Protective devices to prevent touching moving machinery (e.g. coupling) may not be
removed from operating machines.
• Leakage (e.g. shaft seals) of dangerous conveyed products (e.g. explosive, poisonous, hot)
has to be led off in such a way that there is no endangerment to persons or environment.
Legal stipulations are to be maintained.
• Hazards through electric energy are to be eradicated (for details, see national regulations
and those of the local power supply companies).
1.6 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and assembly
work
The customer has to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is carried
out by authorised and qualified specialist personnel, who have been sufficiently informed
through relevant and adequate study of the Operating Manual.
Work on the machine is to be done on principle only when it is shut down. The procedure
for shutting down the machine is described in the Operating Manual and is to be precisely
adhered to.
Pumps, or pump units that convey hazardous media have to be decontaminated. Immediately
after finishing work, all safety and protective devices have to be re-attached and put into
effect.
