4.5 Obligation of the personnel
All persons who are authorized to work with or on the machine obligate themselves to observe the basic regulations concerning
working safety and accident prevention before starting work. All persons to read and understand the safety chapter and warning
notes in the operating instructions and to confirm by their signature that they have understood these. If there are any questions
regarding this manual or the proper use and maintaining of the MASO-Sine pump, contact the factory before use..
4.6 Training of the personnel
Only trained and instructed personnel may work with or on the machine. The responsibilities of the personnel shall be defined
clearly for assembly, disassembly, start-up, operation, maintenance and repair.
Personnel under training may work on the machine only under supervision of an experienced person.
4.7 Informal safety measures
The operating instructions must be kept on file and be made readily available to all persons who work with or on the MASO-Sine
pump. The generally valid as well as the local regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection shall be provided
and observed in addition to the operating instructions. All safety and danger warnings on the machine shall be kept in legible
condition. Contact the factory if additional manuals are required.
4.8 Dangers when handling the machine
The Watson-Marlow MasoSine Pump is built according to the state of the art and the recognized safety engineering rules at
the time of manufacture. Danger to life and limb of the user or other persons or impairments to the machine or to other assets
can arise if safety instructions are not followed.
The machine must be used only:
• for the intended use delivery note
• in perfect safety engineering condition.
Faults which can impair safety must be rectified immediately.
4.9 Safety measures in normal operation
Operate the machine only if all safety devices are fully functioning. Before switching the machine on make sure that the starting
machine can endanger no one. At least once per shift inspect the machine for “externally detectable damage” and for
functioning of the safety devices.
4.10 Protective devices
All protective devices must be attached correctly and functioning before every start-up.
Protective devices may be removed only
-
After standstill and simultaneous protection against restarting the machine. Always follow proper LOCKOUT – TAGOUT
procedures.
- The pump is not under pressure.
- All components are allowed to reach a comfortable temperature.
4.11 Dangers due to hazardous pumped material
In the case of hazardous pumped material as defined by MSDS, the corresponding regulations must be followed.
4.12 Dangers due to electrical energy
Follow proper LOCKOUT – TAGOUT procedures before handling electrical components.
Have work on the electrical supply performed only by a qualified electrician.
Check the electrical equipment of the machine regularly. Rectify loose connections and scorched cables
immediately.
Keep the control cabinet closed always. Access is allowed only to authorized personnel
Only qualified personnel should handle electrical components.
4.13 Dangers due to hydraulic energy
Only personnel with special knowledge and experience in hydraulics may work on hydraulic devices.
Relieve the pressure in system sections and pressure lines to be opened before starting repair work. Replace hydraulic hose
lines at appropriate intervals, even if no safety-relevant defects are detectable.
4.14 Special danger points
This pump and equipment utilize rotating components that may pose
potential injury. The user must protect the pump so that there is no
exposure to rotating components. In the case of work on the stationary
rotor, the drive must be secured against unintentional switching on.
Follow proper LOCKOUT – TAGOUT procedures. Increased danger
exists with dismantled pipes and opened pump.
