13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
A metal pallet is used for transport and storage with packing at the side and a wooden cover.
The pump is fixed on a metal pallet, which allows safe handling using a transpallet or forklift truck. The metal pallet has been
designed so that it can be installed in the installation, being equipped with 4 (four) holes of Ø 14 mm suitable for fixing to the
floor.
14. PRECAUTION
The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read.
The operator must understand its operation and clearly understand the hazards connected to pumping pressurised grease.
Therefore we recommend the following:
•
Check the chemical compatibility of the material with which the pump is built with the fluid to be pumped (see chap. 4). An
incorrect selection could cause, in addition to damaging the pumps and pipes, serious risks for people (spillage of irritating
products that are harmful to health) and for the environment.
•
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure permitted for the pump and the components connected to it. In the case of
doubt, refer to the data specified on the machine plate.
•
Only use original spare parts.
•
If components must be replaced with others, make sure they are suitable for operating at the pump's maximum operating
pressure.
Note:
Personnel must use protective equipment, garments and tools in compliance with current standards with regard to the
location and the use of the pump both during work as well as during maintenance operations.
Power supply
Do not carry out any work on the machine before disconnecting it from the electrical power supply and making sure that no one
can reconnect it during the operation. All the installed equipment (electric and electronic), tanks and basic structures must be
connected to the ground line.
Flammability
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not normally flammable. However, it is advised to avoid contact with
extremely hot substances or naked flames.
Pressure
Before each operation, make sure there in every branch of the lubrication circuit that there is no residual pressure that could
cause oil to spray when disassembling fittings or components.
After long periods of inactivity, check the seal of all the parts subject to pressure.
Do not subject the fittings, pipes and pressurised parts to violent impacts.
Damaged flexible pipes or fittings are DANGEROUS and must be replaced.
Only original spare parts should be used.
Noise
Under normal operating conditions, noise emission does not exceed 70 dB “A” at a distance of 1 metre (39.3 inches) from the
pump.
GREASES
ATTENTION
: The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read. The user must
understand its operation using the user and maintenance manual.
ATTENTION!
Never try to stop or deviate any leaks with your hands or other body parts.
NOTE:
The pump was designed to operate with lubricants with a maximum rating NLGI 2.
Use lubricants that are compatible with NBR gaskets.
Any internal residual lubricant used for assembly and testing purposes is NLGI 2 grease.
Lift the equipment according to the direction shown on the cardboard package.
The machine components can support storage temperatures between -40 a + 65 °C
(-40÷149F)
; however in order to avoid
damages, the machine must only be started up after the machine has reached a temperature of -10 °C
(+14F).
