Swing Piston Pumps NPK 09 

Translation of original Operating Instructions, English, KNF 121576-121579 11/20 

3.  Safety 

 

Note the safety precautions in Chapters 6

. Installation and 

connection,

 and 7

. Operation

 

The pumps are built according to the generally recognized rules of 
technology and in accordance with the occupational safety and 
accident prevention regulations. Nevertheless, dangers can result 
during their use which lead to injuries to the user or others, or to 
damage to the pump or other property. 

Only use the pumps when they are in a good technical and proper 
working order, in accordance with their intended use, observing the 
safety advice within the Operating and Installation Instructions, at 
all times. 

Make sure that only trained and instructed personnel or specially 
trained personnel work on the pumps. This especially applies to 
assembly, connection and servicing work. 

Make sure that the personnel has read and understood the Operat-
ing and Installation Instructions, and in particular the "Safety" 
chapter. 

Observe the accident prevention and safety regulations when 
performing any work on the pump and during operation. 

When transferring dangerous media, observe the safety regula-
tions when handling these media. 

Be aware that the pumps are not designed to be explosion-proof. 

Make sure the temperature of the medium is always sufficiently 
below the ignition temperature of the medium, to avoid ignition or 
explosion. This also applies for unusual operational situations. 

Note that the temperature of the medium increases when the pump 
compresses the medium. 

Hence, make sure the temperature of the medium is sufficiently 
below the ignition temperature of the medium, even when it is 
compressed to the maximum permissible operating pressure of the 
pump. 

If necessary, consider any external sources of energy, such as 
radiation, that may add heat to the medium. 

In case of doubt, consult the KNF customer service. 

Store all replacement parts in a protected manner and dispose of 
them properly in accordance with the applicable environmental 
protection regulations. Observe the respective national and inter-
national regulations. This especially applies to parts contaminated 
with toxic substances. 

For the purposes of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, pumps 
are “partly completed machinery,” and are therefore to be regarded 
as not ready for use. Partly completed machinery may not be 

commissioned until such time as it has been determined that the 
machine in which the partly completed machinery is to be 
assembled is in conformity with the provisions of the Machinery 
Directive 2006/42/EC.
