VEHICLE BUILDER / INSTALLER
SAFETY-RELEVANT DATA
Thank you for purchasing a Godiva Pump.
Vehicle Manufacturers will find full details regarding installation in the
relevant section of this manual.
A risk assessment of the Vehicle Pump Range has been conducted in line with the
Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, with the following results:
INSTALLATION
The pump MUST BE SECURELY INSTALLED to the vehicle chassis.
MAINTENANCE
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the equipment is maintained in a safe
operational condition, as per regulation 5 in the Provision & Use of Work Equipment
Regulations 1998.
PUMP DRIVE AND PRIMING SYSTEMS
A guard is available to enclose the priming system drive if this is deemed necessary.
The vehicle-mounted pump is NOT a machine (see Declaration of Incorporation) and
the guarding of this area together with the drive system of the pump MUST BE
CONSIDERED by the Vehicle Builder when incorporating the pump into HIS
machine.
NOISE
The manufacturer of the machine into which the pump is incorporated MUST
INDICATE any protective equipment that may be required. Test data may be
sourced from Godiva where required.
THERMAL & PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
The WT Series multi-pressure pump incorporates 2 devices as standard to protect
the pump components a) PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE to prevent over pressurisation
of the high pressure stage which opens to pass water back to the low pressure
manifold and b) THERMAL RELIEF VALVE which is fitted to assist in the prevention
of over heating which could occur through incorrect operation of the pump, ie running
the pump at high speed with all the discharge valves closed.
OPERATION
When installed into a fire-fighting appliance, these pumps must be operated by
TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY.
