-Observe the general restrictions in relation to viscosity limits,
chemical resistance and density.
-Always switch the pump off before exchanging the pump hose
Correct and proper use
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
-The unit is not intended to convey or regulate gases or solid
media
-Do not exceed the rated pressure, speed or temperature for the
pump
-The unit may only be used in accordance with the technical data
and specifications provided in these operating instructions and in
the operating instructions for the individual components
-The system is not designed for use in areas of risk from explosion
-Only switch the pump on if it has been properly fastened to the
floor
-Only switch the pump on if it the front cover has been attached.
-Do not carry out any maintenance operations or dismantle the
pump without first making sure that the pipes are not under
pressure and are empty or isolated.
-In the case of the hose becoming stuck during extraction or fitting
it is necessary to reverse the direction of the pump, relubricate,
and then repeat the operation.
-As the peristaltic pump is volumetric and its functioning is positive
displacement, it is necessary to prevent a possible overload of
pressure, due to for example, the accidental closure of a valve.
For this reason it is advisable to fit a safety device such as: a
safety valve, pressure limiter, etc.
Operational lifetime of the pump hoses
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
The operational lifetime of the pump hoses cannot be precisely
specified. For this reason, the possibility of fracture and consequential
leakage of liquids must be accounted for. If the hose rupture alarm
(optional) is fitted, then the pump can be stopped and / or an electrical
valve can be actuated.
