Safety
Instructions
• The contents of this manual must be read and understood before installing and operating the pumping equipment.
• Carefully read and understand the motor manual, provided by the motor manufacturer, before operating the pumping
equipment.
• Learn how to stop the pumping equipment quickly and understand the operation of all controls. Do not allow the pumping
equipment to be used without the necessary instructions.
• Never place your hands, feet or any part of your body near rotating or moving parts.
• Never operate the pump without safety devices installed.
• Never operate the pumping equipment if any protection of the rotating parts is missing.
• The direction of rotation of the motor has to be checked before connecting belts or couplings. Operating the pump in the
wrong direction can cause accidents to personnel and damage to the equipment.
• Always carry out the inspection before starting the pump in order to avoid an accident or damage to the equipment.
• Never place flammable items such as fuel, matches, etc., near the pump while it is running.
• Never place objects or items of any kind on the motor or pump as this may create a fire hazard.
• The pump should not be operated at low or near zero flow conditions as this may cause vaporization of the pumped liquid,
the high pressure generated may cause accidents to personnel and damage to equipment. Slurry pumps should not be
operated at a flow rate less than 25% of BEP (Best Efficiency Point) for a given RPM level, as equipment damage and injury
could result.
• Never apply heat to remove the impeller, disassemble the pump or any part of it, as this could result in an explosion of the
trapped liquid.
• Never operate the pump beyond the operating range for which it was ordered.
• Always disconnect electrical power to the motor before performing repair and maintenance work.
• Never lift the complete equipment (pump-motor-bank assembly) by any part other than the lifting shackles with which the
structural frame is equipped.

WARNING
VOGT S.A. INFORMS THAT CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS WHEN SUCTION AND DISCHARGE ARE
BLOCKED IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. EXCESS HEAT IS GENERATED WHICH VAPORIZES THE TRAPPED LIQUID.
THIS CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION WHICH CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING.
