WARNING!
Electrical shock hazard
Dangers caused by electrical energy must be excluded.
All electrical work must be performed after the electrical supply has been switched
off and secured against unauthorized switching.
WARNING!
Risk of scalding
Depending on the fluid temperature and the system pressure, if the vent screw is
completely loosened hot liquid or vapour can escape or even shoot out at high
pressure.
CAUTION!
Possible damage of the pump
Never operate the pump dry. The system must be filled before starting the pump.
Ensure that all isolation valves are open.
WARNING!
