Diaphragm pump N022.18, N026.18
2.2 Responsibility of the operator
The pumps are produced in accordance with the generally
recognized rules of engineering, as well as the occupational
health, safety and accident prevention regulations. Neverthe-
less, dangers can arise during their use that lead to injuries to
the user or third parties or to damage to the pump or other
property.
Make sure that no hazardous situation, physical harm or im-
pairment of the pump can occur.
Operating
Only operate and install the pump under the operating param-
parameter
eters and operating conditions described in Chapters 2.4 Op-
erating conditions [} 9] and 3 Technical data [} 13].
2.3 Working in a safety conscious manner
Observe the regulations on accident prevention and safety
during all work on the pumps and during operation.
Avoid contact with the pump heads and housing parts be-
cause the pump heats up during operation.
Make sure that the pump has been disconnected from the
mains and is de-energized while work is carried out on it.
When connecting the pump to the electrical mains, observe
the corresponding safety rules.
Do not expose any body parts to the vacuum.
Ensure that no hazards arise from gas flowing when gas con-
nections are open, from the effects of noise or from hot, corro-
sive, dangerous and environmentally hazardous gases.
Ensure that EMC-compliant installation of the pump is guar-
anteed at all times, and that no hazardous situations can arise
therefrom.
Avoid the release of hazardous, toxic, explosive, corrosive,
harmful or environmentally hazardous gases or vapors, e.g.
by using suitable laboratory equipment with fume cupboard
and ventilation control.
