Viking Pump TSM845: K-KK 825, 823, 827 - Manual (Page 2)

SECTION TSM 845 ISSUE F PAGE 2 OF 14
DO NOT OPERATE PUMP IF:
– The front cover is not installed correctly
– Any guards are missing or incorrectly installed
– The suction or discharge piping is not connected
DO NOT place fingers, etc 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 Severe injury will occur
DO NOT exceed the pumps 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
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE PUMP
MUST ALWAYS COMPLY WITH HEALTH AND
SAFETY REGULATIONS.
Rare earth magnets used in couplings have
extremely strong magnetic fields capable of
changing performance or damaging items such as:
Pacemakers, Metal Implants, Watches, Computers
& Disks, and Credit Cards
Completely assembled magnetic couplings will
not affect items listed above - only disassembled
components
There are no known harmful effects of these
magnetic fields on the human body
A device must be incorporated into the pump, 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 If an integral
relief valve is incorporated into the pump, do not allow
re-circulation through the relief valve for extended
periods
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 loadings
and will create high temperatures and increased noise
emissions Do not use any drive arrangements which
cause sideloading of the drive shaft
The installation must allow safe routine maintenance
and inspection (to check for leakage, monitor
pressures, etc) and provide adequate ventilation
necessary to prevent overheating
Before operating the pump, be sure that it and all
parts of the system to which it is connected are clean
and free from debris and that all valves in the suction
and discharge pipelines are fully opened Ensure that
all piping connecting to the pump is fully supported
and correctly aligned with its relevant connections
Misalignment and/or excess loads will cause severe
pump damage
Be sure that pump rotation is correct for the desired
direction of flow
DO NOT INSTALL THE PUMP INTO A SYSTEM
WHERE IT WILL RUN DRY (I.E. WITHOUT A
SUPPLY OF PUMPED MEDIA).
Pressure gauges/sensors are recommended, next
to the pump suction and discharge connections to
monitor pressures
Caution must be taken when lifting the pump Suitable
lifting devices should be used as appropriate Lifting
eyes installed on the pump must only be used to lift
the pump, not pump with drive and/or baseplate If
pump is baseplate mounted, the base plate must be
used for all lifting purposes If slings are used for lifting,
they must be safely and securely attached For weights
of bare shaft pumps refer to catalog
DO NOT attempt any maintenance or disassembly of
the pump or pump unit without first ensuring that :
– The pump is fully isolated from the power source
(electric, hydraulic, pneumatic)
– The pumping chamber, relief valve and any
shaft seal support system are depressurized and
purged
– Any temperature control devices (jackets, heat-
tracing, etc) are fully isolated, that they are
depressurized and purged, and components are
allowed to reach a safe handling temperature
DO NOT attempt to dismantle a pressure relief valve
which has not had the spring pressure relieved or is
mounted on a pump that is operating Serious personal
injury or death and/or pump damage may occur
DO NOT loosen or undo the front cover, any
connections to the pump, shaft seal housings,
temperature control devices, or other components,
until sure that such action will not allow the unsafe
escape of any pressurized media
Pumps and/or drives can produce sound power levels
exceeding 85 dB(A) under certain operating conditions
When necessary, personal protection against noise
must be taken
Avoid any contact with hot parts of pumps and/or
drives which may cause injury Certain operating
conditions, temperature control devices (jackets, heat-
tracing, etc ), bad installation, or poor maintenance
can all promote high temperatures on pumps and/or
drives
WARNING
SAFETY INFORMATION
Danger - Failure to follow the listed
precautionary measures identified by
this symbol may result in serious injury
or death
Warning - Safety instructions which
shall be considered for reasons of safe
operation of the pump or pump unit and/
or protection of the pump or pump unit
itself are marked by this symbol
INCORRECT INSTALLATION, OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND MAY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
This information must be read fully before beginning installation, operation or maintenance and must be
kept with the pump. All installation and maintenance must be undertaken by suitably trained or qualified
persons only.
