‐
Motors which are provided with lifting lugs, lifting ears
or eyebolts on the top of the motor should be lifted by
these points only. They should be used to lift the entire
pump assembly.
‐
Only lift the entire pump assembly with the lifting lugs
provided on top of the motor. Never lift unit using
hooks or slings on shafts or conduit box. Straps should
not be used to lift a pump assembly.
‐
When manually lifting pump components, use proper
lifting techniques and never bend at the waist. Keep
the component close to your body with your back
straight, and lift with your legs.
WARNING
Crushing of hands
Death or serious personal injury
‐
Do not work under a suspended object unless you
have taken precautions to stop its fall in the event of
lifting equipment failure. Do not place hands under a
component in such a way that it could fall on your
hands if it were dropped.
WARNING
Sharp and moving machine parts or blades.
Death or serious personal injury

rotated, this can cause severe injury. Areas of the
pump are left open for inspection and adjustment of
packing. Never place your hands or fingers into these
areas while the equipment is in operation. Do not wear
loose clothing, long hair, or jewelry around the
equipment.
WARNING
Excessive noise
Death or serious personal injury
‐
If the operating noise level of the product exceeds local
code or safe levels (over 85 dBA), the product must be
installed in a controlled access area. Provide ear
protection to persons authorized to be in this area.
‐
Fire pumps can start unexpectedly at any time. Ear
protection should be carried by, or readily available to,
all persons authorized to be in the pump room with
these pumps. Observe health and safety regulations
limiting exposure of personnel to excessive noise.
Partial decomposition of fluoro-elastomers (when fitted)
will occur if equipment reaches temperatures above 400
°F (205 °C).
FM
For applications involving potentially explosive
atmospheres, contact Peerless Pumps for more
information.
Avoid rapid temperature change in the pumped liquid.
Thermal shock from sudden temperature changes can
damage pump components.
Pumps are not designed to accept external loads from
belt-driven arrangements. A separate jackshaft with a
bearing structure suitable for belt loading is required.
Do not remove or paint over any safety labels. If labels are
lost or damaged, contact your Peerless Pump
representative for replacement.
Do not use gland packing when pumping hazardous
liquids.
Do not use the pump as a support for pipes. Do not mount
expansion joints, so that their force, due to internal
pressure, acts on the pump flange, without written
authorization from Peerless Pumps.
1.6 Material safety data sheet
As a general practice, material safety data sheets (MSDS) are not
supplied with pumps unless required. They may be requested from
Peerless Pump.
