DANGER
In areas where permanent magnetic couplings are handled or stored with open
access, persons with heart pacemakers should keep a safety distance of 3 meters.
For permanent magnetic couplings assembled within a pump a safety distance of 1
meter is sufficient.
o
Installation and maintenance must be performed by trained, specialized personnel, and must
always take place during complete shutdown in an un-pressurized condition. The drive unit
must be secured against switching-on (with signs, switching off electricity to power supply,)
in order to avoid serious injuries.
o
Danger of crushing! Do not reach inside the working area during the operation of
the coupling. For protection against accidental contact, appropriate machine guards
must be installed and security must be maintained.
CAUTION
Magnetic data carriers (bank cards, hard drives and other electronic devices) may become
unreadable and should be kept away from the magnetic field of the magnetic coupling.
D
Transport / Storage
D.1 Safe Lifting and Transportation of Pumps
DANGER
Death or crushing of limbs caused by falling or overturning loads!
WARNING
Bodily harm can occur if excessive weight is lifted or moved incorrectly!
WARNING
Protection from hot surfaces and hot liquids must be provided by the operator!
Take care not to drop the pump. Pump weights are clearly and durably marked onto the pump surface.
Read and consider the weight prior to attempting to lift or move the pump. Do not attempt to lift pumps
heavier than 25 kg without the use of a crane or other type of lifting assist device. Only qualified personnel
may transport pumps weighing more than 25 kg.
When working with pumps that are hot, wear proper protective equipment and note that hot fluid may flow
from the pump. Guard against skin contact with hot fluids, or with a hot pump. Follow all precautions of the
fluid manufacturer in the handling of the fluid.
D.2 Storage / Spare Parts
In the event that an Imo
Pump needs to be stored, always protect the pump against water and other
contaminants. Store the pump in a clean, dry, and warm environment. Pumps are delivered with ISO 32,
PL-2, or other suitable lubricant (unless specifically prohibited on the customer order,) and with protective
covers in, or over, all openings. These covers should remain in place during the mounting and alignment
procedures, as long as possible. Remove the covers just prior to attaching system piping to the pump. If
the pump is to be stored at an elevated temperature or in a challenging environment, or if they are to be
stored for more than six months, contact Imo Pump for appropriate storage procedures.
