13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Prior to shipping, the equipment is carefully packed in cardboard package. During transportation and storage, always maintain
the pump the right way up as indicated on the box. On receipt check that package has not been damaged. Then, store the
machine in a dry location.
14. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
It is necessary to carefully read the warnings and risks associated with using a lubricant pump. The operator must understand
how it works and must clearly understand the dangers by studying the user manual.
Power supply
Any type of intervention must not be carried out before unplugging the machine from power supply. Make sure that no one can
start it up again during the intervention.
All the installed electric and electronic equipment, reservoirs and basic components must be grounded.
Flammability
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not flammable. However, it is advised to avoid contact with extremely hot
substances or naked flames.
Pressure
Prior to any intervention, check the absence of residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit as it may cause oil sprays
when disassembling components or fittings.
Noise
Pump produces noise, not more than 70 dB(A).
15. OPERATIONAL HAZARDS
The check on compliance with the essential safety requirements and with the stipulations indicated in the machine directives
are to be carried out by means of compiling the checklists already made available and contained in the
technical file.
Two types of lists were used:
List of dangers (section from UNI EN ISO 14121-1 relating to UNI EN ISO 12100)
Application of the essential safety requirements (Machine Dir.)
See below a list of dangers which have not been completely eliminated, but are considered acceptable:
During assembly/maintenance it is possible that there may be an oil splash (consequently this operation must be carried out
using appropriate individual protective devices);
contact with oil -> see instructions for using appropriate individual protective devices DPI;
Loaded springs
, in the pump cylinder and in the reservoir.
Use of an inappropriate lubricant -> fluid characteristics indicated both on the pump and in the manual (
if in doubt consult
our Technical Office);
protection against direct and indirect contact must be provided by the user;
The pump’s working logic requires it to operate at all times, so it is necessary to pay attention to the electric connection. If
there is no current the customer’s machine can only be restarted following a reset while the lubrication pump can restart
automatically.
Do not use alcohol or spirits to clean any components.
UNACCEPTABLE FLUIDS
Fluids
Dangers
Lubricant with abrasive additives
High consumption of contaminated parts
Lubricant with silicon additives
Jamming of the pump
Benzine – solvents – inflammable liquids
Fire – explosion – damage to gaskets
Corrosive products
Corrosion of the pump – injuries to persons
Water
Pump oxidation
Food substances
Contamination of these substances
