SAFETY

can occur if proper lifting procedures
are not observed. Make certain that
hoists, chains, slings or cables are in
good working condition and of suffi­
cient capacity and that they are posi­
tioned so that loads will be balanced
and the pump or components will not be
damaged when lifting. Suction and dis­
charge hoses and piping must be re­
moved from the pump before lifting. Lift
the pump or component only as high as
necessary and keep personnel away
from suspended objects.

Do not attempt to disengage any part of
an overheated pump unit.  Vapor pres­
sure within the pump casing can eject
these parts with great force when they
are disengaged.  Allow the pump to
completely cool before servicing it.

Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
