Page: 21 / 74

1. Read the instructions through before installing the pump and starting
it up. If in doubt, contact your local APV dealer.
2. Check that the specifications of the motor and motor control unit are
correct, particularly in operating environments where there may be a
risk of explosion.
3. Do not start the pump before all the pipe connections have been
fitted carefully and tightened. If the pump is to be used for hot and/or
hazardous liquids, special precautions must be taken. In such cases
follow the local regulations for personal safety when working with
these products.
4. Do not start the pump before the motor shroud or shaft guard has
been securely fitted.
5. The pump contains rotating parts. Never put your hands or fingers
into a pump while it is in operation.
6. Never touch the shroud during operation, as it can become very hot.
7. Never touch the pump body during operation if the pump is being
used for hot media where there is a risk of burning.
8. Never close both the intake and outlet of the pump while it is in ope-
ration. If the pump runs with liquid in it without circulation, the liquid
will heat up and may turn into vapour, causing a risk of explosion.
When ZMS pumps are concerned the pressure will immediately in-
crease dangerously if the outlet valve is closed and the pump will be
vitally damaged. Max. allowable pressure in the pumphouse 10 bar.
9. Always remove all assembly tools from the pump before starting it up.
10. Never hose down the electric motor directly with water or cleaning
fluid.
11. Never lift the pump in the shroud, as it is not designed to carry the
weight of the motor. Remove the shroud before lifting the pump.
Always use securely fitted lifting straps when lifting with a crane or
similar lifting gear.
12. Never dismantle the pump before the motor has been disconnected
from the power supply. Remove the fuses and disconnect the cable
from the motor terminal box.
13. All electrical installations must be carried out by qualified staff.
14. Never dismantle the pump until the pipe system has been fully
drained. Remember that liquid will always assemble in the pump
housing. If the pump is to be used for hot and/or hazardous liquids,
special precautions must be taken. In such cases follow the local
regulations for personal safety when working with these products.
15. The maximum pump outlet pressures specified must not be
exceeded.
