1.0 Safety Information
INCORRECT INSTALLATION, OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT MAY
CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND MAY
INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
THIS INFORMATION MUST BE READ FULLY BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION,
OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP. SUITABLY
TRAINED OR QUALIFIED PERSONS MUST UNDERTAKE ALL INSTALLATION AND
MAINTENANCE ONLY.
DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE PUMP IF:
- THE FRONT COVER IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
- ANY GUARDS ARE MISSING OR INCORRECTLY INSTALLED.
- THE SUCTION OR DISCHARGE PIPE WORK IS NOT CONNECTED.
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS ETC INTO THE PUMPING CHAMBER OR ITS
CONNECTION PORTS OR INTO ANY PART OF THE GEARBOX IF THERE IS
ANY POSSIBILITY OF THE PUMP SHAFTS BEING ROTATED. SEVERE INJURY
WILL OCCUR.
DO NOT exceed the rated pressure, speed, and temperature, or change the
system/duty parameters from those for which the pump was originally supplied,
without confirming its suitability for the new duty. Running of the pump outside of its
operation envelope can cause mechanical contact, excessive heat and can represent
a serious risk to health and safety.
Installation and operation of the pump must always comply with health and safety
regulations.
A device must be incorporated into the system or drive to prevent the pump
exceeding its stated duty pressure. It must be suitable for both directions of pump
rotation where applicable. Do not allow pump to operate with a closed/blocked
discharge unless a pressure relief device is incorporated.
The mounting of the pump or pump unit should be solid and stable. Pump orientation
must be considered in relation to drainage requirements. Once mounted, shaft drive
elements must be checked for correct alignment. Rotate pump shaft by at least one
full revolution to ensure smoothness of operation. Incorrect alignment will produce
excessive loading and will create high temperatures and increased noise emissions.
The installation must allow safe routine maintenance and inspection (check for
leakage, monitor pressures, etc) and provide adequate ventilation necessary to
prevent overheating. It may also be necessary to earth the pump head to avoid the
build up of a potential charge difference that could cause a spark.
