E. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
This manual is
written with the intent to provide instructions for the
safety of personnel when efficiently installing,
operating, and maintaining the pump. Failure or
neglect to properly install, operate, or maintain the
pump may result in personal injury, property damage,
or unnecessary damage to the pump and/or parts.
Throughout the manual, note various cautions, which
are intended to remind personnel of proper handling
of the unit, and note warnings, which are strategically
placed to ensure s afety for personnel.
Variations exist in the equipment used with these
pumps and in particular, installation of the pump and
driver. This manual contains general rules for
installation, operation, and maintenance of the driver.
Contact the driver manufacturer for specific operating
instructions.
Observe and understand all caution or danger tags
attached to the equipment.
The following general safety precautions do not relate
to any specific procedure within this manual but are
pertinent to providing a safe working environment for
personnel.
CAUTION
Various federal, state and local laws and the
regulations concerning OSHA affect
installation, use, and operation of pumping
equipment. Compliance with such laws
relating to the proper installation and safe
operation of pumping equipment is the
responsibility of the equipment owner and all
necessary steps should be taken by the
owner to assure compliance with such laws
before operating the equipment.
1. Prior to working on pump or driver,
ensure all switches and circuit breakers
have been locked in the open (off)
position and tagged, “Out of Service.”
2. All circuits NOT known to be dead must
be considered live at all times.
3. Do NOT wear loose or torn clothing
around rotating machines. Do NOT wear
jewelry or watches around rotating
machines.
4. While working near electricity, do NOT
use metal rules, flashlights, metallic
pencils, or any other objects having
exposed conducting material.
5. Ensure you are NOT grounded while
adjusting electrical equipment or using
measuring equipment.
6. In general, use only one hand when
servicing live electrical equipment.
7. De-energize all electrical equipment
before connecting or disconnecting
meters or test leads.
8. When connecting a meter to terminals
for measurement, use a range higher
than the expected voltage.
9. Check to make sure the frame of the
driver and starter panel are securely
grounded before operating pumping unit
or performing any tests or
measurements.
10. If a test meter is held or adjusted while
voltage is applied, ground case of meter
before starting measurement. Do NOT
touch live equipment while holding
meter. Some moving vane-type meters
should not be grounded nor held during
measurements.
11. Do NOT use test equipment known to
be damaged or in poor condition.
II. INSPECTION AND STORAGE.
A. INSPECTION UPON ARRIVAL.
Upon
receipt of the shipment, check for missing or
damaged items. Unpack and inspect the pump,
driver assemblies, and individual parts. Carefully
inspect all boxes and packing material for loose
parts before discarding. Immediately report any
missing parts or damage incurred during
shipment to the factory and to the transportation
company. File your “damaged and/or lost in
shipment” claim with the carrier.
NOTE
The pump and equipment, as shipped from
Carver Pump Company, have appropriate
protection for short-term storage. If the
equipment is NOT immediately installed and
operated, store the equipment in a covered,
clean, dry, well-ventilated location, free from
vibrations, moisture, and rapid or wide
variations in temperature.
The pump is shipped with flange covers to
protect flange faces and prevent foreign matter
from entering pump. Flange covers should
remain intact until suction and discharge piping
are connected to pump flanges.
B. STORAGE OF PUMP.
If the equipment is
NOT immediately installed and operated, Carver
Pump Company recommends rotating each shaft
several revolutions at least once every two weeks to
prevent flat spots on ball bearings.
Consider a unit to be in storage when any of the
following situations occur:
•
The pump has been delivered to the job site and
is waiting to be installed.
