13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Transport and storage are carried out using a metal pallet with packaging on the side and a wood cover.
The pump is fixed on a metal pallet that permits safe handling with a transpallet or fork lift truck. The metal pallet was designed
to be installed in the plant. It has four Ø 14 mm holes suitable for fixing to the floor.
14. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read.
The operator must understand its operation and clearly understand the hazards connected to pumping pressurised grease.
Therefore we recommend the following:
•
Check the chemical compatibility of the material with which the pump is built with the fluid to be pumped (see chap. 4). An
incorrect selection could cause, in addition to damaging the pumps and pipes, serious risks for people (spillage of irritating
products that are harmful to health) and for the environment.
•
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure permitted for the pump and the components connected to it. In the case of
doubt, refer to the data specified on the machine plate.
•
Only use original spare parts.
•
If components must be replaced with others, make sure they are suitable for operating at the pump's maximum operating
pressure.
Note:
Personnel must use protective devices, garments and tools in compliance with current standards with regard to the location
and the use of the pump both during work as well as during maintenance operations.
Electric current
Do not carry out any work on the machine before disconnecting it from the electrical power supply and making sure that no one
can reconnect it during the operation. All the installed equipment (electric and electronic), tanks and basic structures must be
connected to the ground line.
Inflammability
The lubricant used in the lubrication circuits is normally not an inflammable liquid. It is however necessary to adopt all the
possible measures to prevent that it comes into contact with very hot parts or open flames.
Pressure
Before each operation, make sure there in every branch of the lubrication circuit that there is no residual pressure that could
cause oil to spray when disassembling fittings or components. After long periods of inactivity, check the seal of all the parts
subject to pressure. Do not subject the fittings, pipes and pressurised parts to violent impacts. Damaged flexible pipes or fittings
are DANGEROUS and must be replaced.
Only original spare parts should be used.
Noise
Under normal operating conditions, noise emission
does not exceed
70 dB
“A”
at a distance of 1 metre (39.3 inches) from the
pump.
Lift the equipment according to the direction shown on the cardboard package.
The machine components can support storage temperatures between
-20 to + 65 °C; however, to prevent damage, the machine must only be started up after the machine has reached a
temperature of +5 °C.
ATTENTION
:
The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read. The user must understand
its operation using the user and maintenance manual.
ATTENTION
!
Never try to stop or deviate any leaks with your hands or other body parts.
NOTE:
The pump was designed to operate with lubricants with a maximum rating NLGI 2.
Use lubricants that are compatible with NBR gaskets.
Any internal residual lubricant used for assembly and testing purposes is NLGI 2 oil
