0.1
WARNINGS
0.1.1
Do not touch any live parts for at least 5 minutes after switching off the electricity supply. Failure to
observe this will constitute a severe Electric shock and/or Burns hazard and may be lethal.
0.1.2
The equipment is only suitable for earth referenced supplies and must be permanently earthed to
avoid Electric shock hazard.
0.1.3
Metal parts (e.g. heat sinks) may reach temperatures of 90 degrees centigrade and will constitute a
Burns hazard.
0.1.4
The equipment must not be pressurised beyond the maximum working pressure as stated on
pumps/pipework/vessels/control panel otherwise serious mechanical damage/destruction could
occur causing injury to people or property.
0.1.5
The equipment must not be heated/chilled beyond the maximum/minimum working temperature
as stated on pumps/pipework/vessels/control panel otherwise serious mechanical
damage/destruction could occur causing injury to people or property.
0.1.6
Any damage to equipment, pumpset, vessels, pipework or system components caused by
misapplication, mishandling or misuse could lead to Electric shock hazard, Burns hazard, Fire hazard,
Flooding hazard or cause injury to people or property.
0.1.7
This equipment may contain moving/rotating parts that must remain guarded. Removal of or
missing guards could lead to serious personal injury.
0.1.8
Pressure vessels must never be disassembled whilst in use, they contain high pressure air/gas
charge which could cause injury to people or property.
0.1.9
Ensure the base/foundation/plinth/wall to which the equipment is to be attached is sufficiently
strong enough to carry the entire mass of the equipment including the water that it will contain
under worst‐case fault conditions. E.g. fully saturated pressure vessel with no air charge, break tank
full to overflowing, etc. Failure to observe this could cause serious mechanical damage/destruction
resulting in injury to people or property.
0.1.10
This equipment contains a fluid which may under certain circumstances leak/drip/spray fluid (e.g.
servicing, repair or malfunction). Ensure any fluid discharge will not cause damage to the
surroundings by taking appropriate action. E.g. install in a place that will not be damaged by leakage
or install in a bunded area with adequate drainage.
0.2
CAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
0.2.1
READ GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 0.0, WARNINGS 0.1 and CAUTIONS 0.2, 0.3 & 0.4
0.2.2
The unit should only be installed/operated by a competent person;
A competent person is someone
who is technically competent and familiar with safety practices and the hazards involved.
0.2.3
Do not lift the pumpset by pipework. Lift the pumpset by the container pallet using a pallet/forklift or
crane by passing strops underneath the skid using a spreader bar. Failure to utilise these facilities will
result in damage to the pumpset.
0.2.4
Store in a dry place to avoid damp conditions deteriorating the equipment.
0.2.5
Protect against dirt, damage and frost. It is absolutely essential that no foreign matter such as pipe
thread swarf, welding slag, grit or stones are allowed to enter the set. Debris of this type can cause
severe damage to the mechanical seals, diaphragms and impeller. Frost/freezing will damage
pumps/pipework and control panel components.
0.2.6
The equipment is only suitable for installation in a clean, dust free indoor environment, with adequate
protection from heat and frost, and sufficient ventilation to ensure cooling of the motors. Ambient air
temperature should be between 5 and 40 degrees centigrade, non‐condensating. Operation outside of
these conditions could seriously damage the equipment.
