SAFETY-RELEVANT DATA
for VEHICLE BUILDER/INSTALLER
Thank you for purchasing a Godiva Pump.
Vehicle Manufacturers will find full details regarding installation in the
relevant section of this manual.
A risk assessment of the Vehicle Pump Range has been conducted in line with the
Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, with the following results:
INSTALLATION
The pump MUST BE SECURELY INSTALLED to the vehicle chassis.
MAINTENANCE
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the equipment is maintained in a safe
operational condition, as per regulation 5 in the Provision and Use of Work
Equipment Regulations 1998.
PUMP DRIVE AND PRIMING SYSTEMS
A guard is available to enclose the priming system drive if this is deemed necessary.
The vehicle-mounted pump is NOT a machine (see Declaration of Incorporation) and
the guarding of this area together with the drive system of the pump MUST BE
CONSIDERED by the Vehicle Builder when incorporating the pump into HIS
machine.
NOISE
The manufacturer of the machine into which the pump is incorporated MUST
INDICATE any protective equipment that may be required. Test data may be
sourced from Godiva where required.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
The WS Series single pressure pump can be fitted with an optional THERMAL
RELIEF VALVE which is fitted to assist in the prevention of over heating which could
occur through incorrect operation of the pump, ie running the pump at high speed
with all the discharge valves closed.
OPERATION
When installed into a fire-fighting appliance, TRAINED PERSONNEL must operate
these pumps ONLY.
