2. Safety Recommendations.
•
Wastewater pumps NE, NE 4 and NE 6 are not recommended
for use in pools or water recreation facilities.
•
WDM pumps are designed to operate safely when used and
maintained according to this manual.
•
Rotating parts of the pumps are dangerous and can cause
injury. Operators and maintenance personnel should be
aware of and follow safety recommendations.
•
The pumps are considered heavy equipment. Handle them
with care.
•
Pumps should not pump hazardous material unless they have
been designed and designated to do so.
•
The pipes and pump should never be forced to fit if using the
correct size. If you have to apply force, then get a different
size.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, all wiring of pumps,
motors, overload protection and control panels must be in
accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and all applicable state,
province, local codes and ordinances. Requirements will vary
depending on usage and location. Improper grounding will
void the warranty.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the
pump from the power source before handling or servicing.
Cable should be inspected frequently.
•
Never handle connected power cords with wet hands.
•
If any product is to be returned, it must be cleaned, sanitized,
or decontaminated as necessary according to any applicable
laws and regulations prior to shipment, to protect employees
from exposure to health hazards.
•
Always wear eye protection when working on pumps.
•
Loose fitting clothing can easily be caught by the impeller or
other moving parts, therefore do not wear loose fitting clothing
when doing maintenance or service work on the pump.
•
Gloves should be worn whenever handling parts that have
sharp edges.
•
Wear safety shoes when handling heavy parts or tools.
•
For any maintenance always disconnect power.
•
Never place hands in the suction or discharge openings.
•
Safety handles should always be fastened securely before
