4.5 Operation
The pump should only ever be used for the purpose for which it is sold.
For normal continuous operation the pump speed should not exceed the speeds in the following
table, unless expressly advised by your VERDER distributor:
VF10 VF15 VF25 VF32 VF40 VF50 VF65 VF80
75rpm 75rpm 100rpm 90rpm 75rpm 60rpm 50rpm 40rpm
Operating pressure should not be altered to operate outside the tolerances recommended by
your VERDER distributor
When the pump is running, you should not touch the pump and should maintain an adequate
safe distance from the pump
Do not climb onto / on the pump or connecting pipe-work
Never place hands or other parts of the body inside or near any part of the pump when it is in
operation or when the power is not totally isolated
Maintain a clean environment around the pump. The VERDER pump is manufactured from cast
iron, flanges etc and therefore may have sharp edges - slipping or falling against the pump may
cause serious injury
Wear safety clothing (hats, gloves, boots, etc) when operating or working on the pump or in its
immediate vicinity
