1.6 Safety
1.6.1 Summary of safety markings
These User Instructions contain specific safety
markings where non-observance of an instruction would
cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:
This symbol indicates electrical safety
instructions where non-compliance will involve a high
risk to personal safety or the loss of life.
This symbol indicates safety instructions where
non-compliance would affect personal safety and could
result in loss of life.
This symbol indicates “hazardous and toxic fluid”
safety instructions where non-compliance would affect
personal safety and could result in loss of life.
This symbol indicates “Pacemaker” safety
instructions where non-compliance would affect
personal safety and could result in loss of life.
This symbol indicates safety
instructions where non-compliance will involve some
risk to safe operation and personal safety and would
damage the equipment or property.
This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere
zone marking according to ATEX. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.
This symbol is used in safety instructions to
remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry
cloth; ensure the cloth is damp. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.
This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates
an important instruction in the assembly process.
1.6.2
Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved in the operation, installation,
inspection and maintenance of the unit must be
qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel
in question do not already possess the necessary
knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction
must be provided. If required, the operator may
commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide
applicable training.
Always coordinate repair activity with operations and
health and safety personnel. Follow all plant safety
requirements and applicable safety and health laws
and regulations.
1.6.3
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.
TB- 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
FOR LONG-COUPLED CONFIGURATIONS,
COUPLING GUARDS ARE REQIRED AND 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.
When dismantling the pump, always
use Jacking bolts to separate the wet end from the
drive end.
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).
HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb.) use a crane
