Warnings
1. Read the instructions before installing the pump and starting it up. Always follow the guidelines for assem-
bly in order to achieve optimum operational reliability.
2. Always check that the specifications of the motor and the motor control unit are correct, particularly in oper-
ating environments where there may be a risk of explosion.
3. Pumps should only be installed, disassembled, repaired and assembled by personnel trained in servicing
pumps.
4. Always ensure that all electrical installation is carried out by qualified staff.
5. Never hose down or clean the electric motor directly with water or cleaning fluid. If the motor will be used in
a washdown environment a washdown designed motor must be used.
6. 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.
7. Never dismantle the pump until the isolating valves on the suction and discharge side have been closed
and the immediate pipe system has been drained. If the pump is used for hot and/or hazardous fluids, spe-
cial precautions must be taken. In such cases follow the local regulations for personal safety when working
with these products.
8. Always ensure that all pipe connections have been fitted and tightened properly before the pump is
started. If the pump is used for hot and/or hazardous liquids, take special care: follow the local regulations
for personal safety when working with these products.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment according to the requirements established by OSHA, NFPA,
NEC (See page 8).
10. Always remove all assembly and auxiliary tools from the pump before starting it up.
11. Make sure product lines and power cables are laid in suitable guides/trays.

13. Always ensure that the pump and the motor shafts are properly aligned.
14. Always ensure that the suction and discharge valves isolating the pump are fully open before starting the
pump.
15. Never close or obstruct the outlet of the pump as the pressure in the system will increase above the speci-
fied maximum pressure of the pump and cause damage to the pump.
16. There are rotating parts in the pump. Never put hands or fingers into a pump while it is in operation.
17. The pump components and piping may contain sharp edges. Handle the rotors carefully because edges
may be sharp. Wear gloves while installing and servicing the pump to help avoid injuries from these haz-
ards.

product, for example).
19. Never touch the motor or motor shroud (if supplied) during operation, as it can become very hot.
20. When moving the pump, use appropriate lifting devices. Attach lifting devices to the eye bolts on the gear
case; the gear case has holes for attaching lifting eye bolts. Always use securely fitted lifting straps when
lifting with a crane or similar lifting gear. See "Lifting" on page 16.
21. Never drop parts on the floor.
22. Never exceed the maximum temperature or operating pressure specified under “Operating Parameters” on
23. Guards should be used when applicable. See page 17, page 25, and page 129.
