Faults
Faults may result from inadmissible modes of 
operation. Such inadmissible modes of operation – 
even brief ones – may cause serious damage to the 
unit. 
In connection with explosion protection, potential 
sources of ignition (overheating, electrostatic and 
induced charges, mechanical and electric sparks) can 
result from these inadmissible modes of operation; 
their occurrence can only be prevented by adhering to 
the intended use. See also 
Section 2.1
.
Should there be any uncertainty about the remedy to 
be applied, please inquire at the in-house pump office 
or at the pump manufacturer's.
