Installation and commissioning

DANGER Electrical energy! Risk of death from electric shock.

  • Work on parts carrying live voltage must be carried out by qualified electricians only.
  • Disconnect the power supply of the system and secure it to prevent it from being switched on again before carrying out any installation, maintenance, cleaning or repair work.

NOTICE The installation and commissioning of the pump group must be carried out only by trained personnel who have been authorized by the manufacturer.
CAUTION When repairing the unit or replacing parts, be sure to observe the specified installation position and flow directions of the parts being replaced!
CAUTION Material damage! Pressure shocks may occur if the stop valve is opened or closed quickly.

  • Always open and close the stop valves slowly and in a controlled way.
