7.  Operation 

  Operate the pumps only under the operating parameters and 

conditions described in Chapter 4, Technical data. 

  Make sure that the pumps are being used properly (see Chap-

ter 2.1). 

  Avoid improper use of the pumps (see Chapter 2.2). 

  Observe the safety precautions (see Chapter 3). 

  The pumps are components that are intended to be incorpo-

rated into another machine. Before putting them into service it 
must be established that the machinery or systems in which 
they are installed meet the relevant regulations. 

 

CAUTION 

 

Risk of burning 

 

The drive heats up. 

 

  Avoid contact with the pump drive. 

  Avoid contact with flammable materials. 

 

 

Excessive pressure and the inherent dangers thereof can be 
prevented by placing a bypass line with a pressure relief valve 
between the pressure and suction side of the pump. Please 
contact your local KNF partner for further information 
(www.knf.com). 

 

 

  If the pump stops running, restore the system to normal at-

mospheric pressure. 

For pumps with thermal switch or electronic overload protection: 

 

WARNING 

 

Risk of physical injury and damage to the pump 
due to automatic start 

 

If the pump overheats and pump operation is 
stopped by the thermal switch / electronics, the 
pumps will restart automatically as soon as they have 
had time to cool down. 

  Take steps to ensure that this cannot produce a 

hazardous situation. 

 

 

CAUTION 

Risk of burns when transferring hot media 

 

  Do not touch the pump or the media transfer 

system. 

  Avoid contact with flammable materials.
