Viking Pump TSM680: 895, 893 and 897 Mag Drive - Manual (Page 2)

SECTION TSM 680 ISSUE G PAGE 2 OF 17
bEFORE opening any liquid chamber (pumping
chamber, reservoir, relief valve adjusting cap fitting,
etc.) be sure that :
● Any pressure in the chamber has been completely
vented through the suction or discharge lines or
other appropriate openings or connections.
● The pump drive system means (motor, turbine,
engine, etc.) has been “locked out” or otherwise
been made non-operational so that it cannot be
started while work is being done on the pump.
● You know what material the pump has been
handling, have obtained a material safety data
sheet (MSDS) for the material, and understand
and follow all precautions appropriate for the safe
handling of the material.
bEFORE operating the pump, be sure all drive guards
are in place.
DO NOT operate pump if the suction or discharge
piping is not connected.
DO NOT place fingers into the pumping chamber or
its connection ports or into any part of the drive train
if there is
any possibility of the pump shafts being
rotated.
DO NOT exceed the pumps rated pressure, speed, and
temperature, or change the system/duty parameters
from those the pump was originally supplied, without
confirming its suitability for the new service.
bEFORE operating the pump, be sure that:
● It is clean and free from debris
● all valves in the suction and discharge pipelines
are fully opened.
● All piping connected to the pump is fully supported
and correctly aligned with the pump.
● Pump rotation is correct for the desired direction
of flow.
INSTALL pressure gauges/sensors next to the
pump suction and discharge connections to monitor
pressures.
USE extreme caution when lifting the pump. Suitable
lifting devices should be used when appropriate. Lifting
eyes installed on the pump must be used
only to lift
the pump, not the pump with drive and/or base plate.
If the pump is mounted on a base plate, the base plate
must be used for all lifting purposes. If slings are used
for lifting, they must be safely and securely attached.
For weight of the pump alone (which does not include
the drive and/or base plate) refer to the Viking Pump
product catalog.
DO NOT attempt to dismantle a pressure relief valve
that has not had the spring pressure relieved or is
mounted on a pump that is operating.
AVOID contact with hot areas of the pump and/or
drive. Certain operating conditions, temperature
control devices (jackets, heat-tracing, etc.), improper
installation, improper operation, and improper
maintenance can all cause high temperatures on the
pump and/or drive.
THE PUMP must be provided with pressure protection.
This may be provided through a relief valve mounted
directly on the pump, an in-line pressure relief valve,
a torque limiting device, or a rupture disk. If pump
rotation may be reversed during operation, pressure
protection must be provided on
both sides of pump.
Relief valve adjusting screw caps must always point
towards suction side of the pump. If pump rotation is
reversed, position of the relief valve must be changed.
Pressure relief valves cannot be used to control pump
flow or regulate discharge pressure. For additional
information, refer to Viking Pump’s Technical Service
Manual TSM 000 and Engineering Service Bulletin
ESB-31.
THE PUMP must be installed in a matter that allows
safe access for routine maintenance and for inspection
during operation to check for leakage and monitor
pump operation.
