3. Warnings
1.
Read through the instructions before installing the pump and
starting it up. If in doubt, contact your local SPX Flow Technology
representative.
2.
Check that the specifications of the motor and motor control unit are
correct. This applies in particular to applications which carry a risk of
explosion.
3.
Observe that a pump may be unstable and may tilt to the fore onto its
inlet port when having a relatively small motor and being assembled
on brackets instead of being equipped with a frame with adjustable
feet. Be careful during the installation of such a pump. (For this
reason, the W+50/600 pump is equipped with an anti-tilting unit.)
4.
Do not start the pump before all pipe connections have been fitted
carefully and tightened. Special precautions must be taken when
the pump is used to pump hot and/or hazardous liquids. In such
cases follow the local regulations for personal safety when working
with these products.
5.
Do not start the pump before the motor shroud or shaft guard has been
securely fitted.
6.
The pump contains rotating parts. Never put your hands, fingers or
objects into a pump while it is in operation.
7.
Never touch the shroud during operation, as it can become very hot.
8.
Never touch the pump body during operation if the pump is being used
for hot media, as there is a risk of being burnt.
9.
If the pump is operating with liquid media but has no circulation, the
liquid will heat up and may turn into vapour, which could cause an
explosion.
10.
Always remove all assembly and auxiliary tools from the pump before
starting it up.
11.
Never hose down or clean the electric motor directly with water
or cleaning fluid.
12.
Never lift the pump at 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.
13.
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.
14.
The installation of all electrical parts must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
