Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to help
prevent injury to personnel and damage to the
environment and to equipment. For products used
in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4
also applies.
U- MAG™ pumps contain extremely strong
permanent neodymium magnets which could affect the
functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart
defibrillators. If you wear these devices keep sufficient
distance to magnets.
Magnets produce a far-reaching, strong
magnetic field. They can damage laptops, computer
hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media,
mechanical watches, hearing aids and speakers. Keep
magnets away from devices and objects that could be
damaged by strong magnetic fields.
NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK
WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER
GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL
DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.
NEVER use heat (risk of explosion) to
disassemble any portion of the pump.
HIGH TEMPERATURES may be present.
Pump surface temperature is directly related to the
temperature of the working fluid. Never operate pump
above the rated temperature of 121°C (250°F).
