1.1 Guarantee
The guarantee is given in accordance with our Condi-
tions of Delivery and/or the confirmation of order.
Repair work during the guarantee period may only be
carried out by us, or subject to our written approval.
Otherwise the guarantee ceases to apply.
Longer-term guarantees basically only cover correct
handling and use of the specified material. The guar-
antee shall not cover natural wear and tear and all
parts subject to wear, such as impellers, shaft seal-
ings, shafts, shaft sleeves, bearings, wear rings etc.
or damage caused by transport or improper handling.
In order for the guarantee to apply, it is essential that
the pump or pump unit is used in accordance with the
operating conditions given on the name plate, confir-
mation of order and in the data sheet. This applies
particularly for the endurance of the materials and
smooth running of the pump and shaft sealing.
If one or more aspects of the actual operating condi-
tions are different, we should be asked to confirm in
writing that the pump is suitable.
2. Safety Regulations
These Operating Instructions contain important in-
structions which must be followed when the pump is
assembled and commissioned and during operating
and maintenance. For this reason, these Operating
Instructions must be read by the skilled staff respon-
sible and/or by the operator of the plant before it is
installed and commissioned, and they must be left
permanently available at the place where the pump or
pump unit is in use.
These Operating Instructions do not refer to the
General Regulations on Accident Prevention or
local safety and/or operating regulations. The op-
erator is responsible for complying with these (if
necessary by calling in additional installation
staff).
Equally, instructions and safety devices regarding
handling and disposal of the pumped media and/or
auxilliary media for flushing, lubrication a.s.o., espe-
cially if they are explosive, toxical, hot a.s.o., are not
