Switching off the pump
The life of the diaphragm is prolonged the formation of condensate
is avoided. Therefore the following precautions should be taken:
Run the pump for a few minutes to warm it up before handling
saturated or nearly saturated vapors.
KNF recommends: When transferring aggressive media, flush
the pump prior to switch off (see Chapter 8.2.1) to increase the
service life of the diaphragm.
Switch off pump with power switch (Fig. 1 at Chapter 5).
Restore the system to normal atmospheric pressure (release
pneumatic pressure in pump).
Pull out the pump’s main plug.

ReturnsDiaphragm pump PJ25481-950.50.18
10. Returns
Pumps and systems used in laboratories and process-based
industries are exposed to a wide variety of conditions. This means
that the components contacting pumped media could become
contaminated by toxic, radioactive, or otherwise hazardous substances.
For this reason, customers who send any pumps or systems back
to KNF must submit a Health and safety clearance and decontamination form in order to avoid a hazardous situation for KNF employees. This Health and safety clearance and decontamination
form provides the following information, among other things:
physiological safety
whether medium-contacting parts have been cleaned
whether the equipment has been decontaminated
media that have been pumped or used
To ensure worker safety, work may not be started on pumps or
systems without a signed Health and safety clearance and decontamination form.
For optimal processing of a return, a copy of this declaration
should be sent in advance via e-mail, regular mail, or fax to KNF
Customer Service (contact data: see www.knf.com). In order to
avoid endangering employees who open the shipment’s packaging, despite any residual hazards, the original version of the Health
and safety clearance and decontamination form must accompany
the delivery receipt on the outside of the packaging.
The template for Health and safety clearance and decontamination
form is included with these Operating Instructions and may also be
downloaded from the KNF website.
The customer must specify the device type(s) and serial number(s)
in the Health and safety clearance and decontamination form in order to provide for the unambiguous assignment of the Declaration
to the device that is sent to KNF.
In addition to the customer’s declaration of physiological safety, information about operating conditions and der customer’s application are also of importance to ensure that the return shipment is
handled appropriately. Therefore, the Health and safety clearance
and decontamination form requests this information as well.
