4. Safety instructions

Before you install the P40 / P60, read through this operating manual
carefully. If the instructions contained within it are not followed, in particular
the safety guidelines, this could result in danger for people, the environment,

and the device and the system it is connected to.
The P40 / P60 correspond to the state-of-the-art technology. This concerns the

accuracy, the operating mode and the safe operation of the device.
In order to guarantee that the device operates safely, the operator must act

competently and be conscious of safety issues.
TRADINCO provides support for the use of its products either personally or via

relevant literature. The customer verifies that our product is fit for purpose based
on our technical information. With this verification all hazards and risks are
transferred to our customers; our warranty is not valid.

4.1 Qualified personnel

The personnel who are charged for the installation and operation of the P40 /

P60 must hold a relevant qualification. This can be based on training or
relevant tuition.
The personnel must be aware of this operating manual and have access to it
at all times.

4.2 General safety instructions

In all work, the existing national regulations for accident prevention and safety

in the workplace must be complied with. Any internal regulations of the
operator must also be complied with, even if these are not mentioned in this
manual.

Never use the hand pump together with an external pressure source. Do not

attach an external pressure generator to the hand pump.

Do not remove any attached components (test item, pressure hose, reference

gauge) when the hand pump is under pressure:

 Open the pressure relief valve before removing any of the components.

Do not use Teflon tape to seal the pressure connections. Surplus Teflon tape

can enter the hand pump and damage it.

 Only use adapters and seals that are available as accessories.

Non-pressurised storage: Only store the hand pump with the pressure relief

valve open. This ensures that no pressure can be built up by unintentional
pumping movements.

Avoid external force of all kinds towards the hand pump and its operating

elements.

Do not use the hand pump if it is damaged or defective.
