1.2. Preface

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing one of our company's products.
You have purchased a product which has been manufac-
tured to the latest technical standards. Read this operat-
ing and maintenance manual carefully before you first use
it. This is the only way to ensure that the product is safely
and economically used.
The documentation contains all the necessary specifica-
tions for the product, allowing you to use it properly. In
addition, you will also find information on how to recog-
nize potential dangers, reduce repair costs and downtime,
and increase the reliability and working life of the product.
All safety requirements and specific manufacturer's re-
quirements must be fulfilled before the product is put into
operation. This operating and maintenance manual supple-
ments any existing national regulations on industrial safety
and accident prevention. This manual must also be acces-
sible to personnel at all times and also be made available
where the product is used.

1.3. Proper use

The HOMA products comply with the valid safety regula-
tions and meet the demands of state-of-the-art technolo-
gy. In the event of improper use, there is a danger to life for
the user as well as for third parties. Moreover, the product
and/or attachments may be damaged or destroyed.
It is important to ensure that the product is only operated
in technically perfect condition and as intended.
To do so, follow the operating instructions.
The pumps can be used in the range specified by us at
any time, in accordance with the current HOP .SEL version.
We have selected the pump based on the data available to
us. Please note that the offered pumps may only be used
in the defined field of application. Operating the pump out-
side the range of application can lead to operational prob-
lems or significant damage to the unit. Particularly with
long pipes, it may be necessary to start the pump slowly
via a frequency converter to slowly speed up the mass at
rest. This is the only way to ensure that the operation of
the pump above the operating limit can be reliably ruled
out. To select the frequency, we recommend our leaflet
„Frequency Converter".

1.4. Copyright

This operation and maintenance manual has been copy-
righted by the manufacturer. This operation and mainte-
nance handbook is intended for the use by assembly, op-
erating and maintenance personnel. It contains technical
specifications and diagrams which may not be reproduced
or distributed, either completely or in part, or used for any
other purpose without the expressed consent of the man-
ufacturer.

1.5. Warranty

Costs for removal and installation of the complained prod-
uct at the installation place, costs for the ride of the mech-
anicians to the location and from the installation place and
costs for transport are not components of our warranty.
28 | ENGLISH
Hereby arose costs, especially costs for checking and
transport are bearing by the sender or operator of the
pump. This is also valid for an asserted warranty claim if
a check results that the unit works faultless and is free of
defects. All products have a high quality standard. Each
product is defeated by a strict technical end control before
delivery. A warranty repair achieved by us does not extend
the warranty period. Replaced spare parts give no reasons
for a new warranty period. Extensive claims are excluded,
especially such as diminution, change or compensation
also for any kind of follow up damages.
In order to ensure that your guarantee claim is processed
as efficiently as possible, please contact us or the appro-
priate sales representative. Once your claim for a return
has been agreed, you will receive a return certificate.
Please then send the rejected product, carriage prepaid,
to the factory together with the return certificate, proof
of purchase and an indication of the damage. Claims
made on grounds of damage caused in transit must be
established and confirmed on delivery of the product by
the express company, the railway company or the postal
service.
1.5.1. General information
This chapter contains the general information on the war-
ranty. Contractual agreements have the highest priority
and are not superseded by the information in this chapter!
The manufacturer is obliged to correct any defects found
in the products it sells, provided that the following require-
ments have been fulfilled:
• The defects are caused by the materials used or the
way the product was manufactured or designed.
• The defects were reported in writing to the manufac-
turer within the agreed warranty period.
• The product was used only as prescribed.
• All safety and control devices were connected and
inspected by authorized personnel.
If no other provisions have been made, the warranty pe-
riod applies to the first 12 months after initial start-up
or to a max. of 24 months after the delivery date. Other
agreements must be made in writing in the order confir-
mation. These agreements will remain valid at least until
the agreed warranty period of the product has expired.
1.5.2. Spare parts, add-ons and conversions
Only original spare parts as supplied by the manufactur-
er may be used for repairs, replacements, add-ons and
conversions. Only these parts guarantee a long working
life and the highest level of safety. These parts have been
specially designed for our products. Self-made add-ons
and conversions or the use of non-original spare parts can
seriously damage the product and/or injure personnel.
