Service manual

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
This manual should be read entirely prior to the commencement of installation and operation.
•
Only qualified personnel should install, operate and maintain this pump and associated equipment.
•
Check pump for specific safety warnings/labels.
•
Prior to start-up, ensure complete cleanliness and integrity of the system in which the pump is
installed.
•
In most cases the relief valve is factory set during performance test. In cases where the type of duty
is not known (such as distributors or stock orders) or where the components containing the relief
valve come from pre-tested stock batches, it is not possible to factory set the relief valve. In this
case it is the installers responsibility to set the relief valve in accordance with the specific
application.
•
Pumps with heat tracing or jacketing necessary to prevent solidification of the product should be
brought up to working temperature prior to start-up.
•
All electrical work must be done in accordance with the manufacturers recommended procedures by
qualified personnel.
•
Ensure all guards are securely in place before operating the equipment. Do not remove guards at
any time during operation.
•
For pumps operating under ‘flooded’ suction, when venting the pump through a plug or valve, care
should be taken not to completely remove vent plugs or completely open any vent as this could
result in liquid being discharged from the openings under pressure.
•
Prior to start-up, ensure that the system valves and associated equipment are correctly set.
•
Wear appropriate safety attire including long sleeves, face shield, and gloves, whenever starting or
operating the pump.
