SPECIAL INFoRMATIoN
DANGER !
Before opening any Viking pump liquid cham-
ber (pumping chamber, reservoir, relief valve
adjusting cap fitting etc.) Be sure:
1. That any pressure in the chamber has been
completely vented through the suction
or discharge lines or other appropriate
openings or connections.
2. That the driving means (motor, turbine,
engine, etc.) has been “locked out” or made
non- operational so that it cannot be started
while work is being done on pump.
3. That you know what liquid the pump has been
handling and the precautions necessary to
safely handle the liquid. obtain a material
safety data sheet (MSDS) for the liquid to be
sure these precautions are understood.
Failure to follow above listed precautionary
measures may result in serious injury or death.
ROTATION: Viking Mag Drive® pumps are designed to run
in either direction. See “Pump Rotation”, page 9.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES:
1. Viking pumps are positive displacement pumps and
must be provided with some sort of pressure protection.
This may be a relief valve mounted directly on the pump,
an inline pressure relief valve, a torque limiting device or
a rupture disk. Do not rely on decoupling of magnets for
protection from over pressure; this may result in damage
to the magnets, pump, or other equipment.
