SECTION 1
DANGER NOTICES
Read and understand the following DANGER NO-
TICES before moving or operating the pump or any
pump package unit equipment.
Reciprocating pumps are machines capable of produc-
ing high fluid pressures and flow rates and are de-
signed to be used with proper care and caution by
trained, experienced operators. TO AVOID PER-
SONAL INJURY, DEATH AND/OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE, READ AND THOROUGHLY UNDER-
STAND THE FOLLOWING DANGER NOTICES
PLUS THE ENTIRE OPERATING AND SERVICE
MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OR
OPERATE THE PUMP. Contact a Gardner Denver
Machinery service representative if you are unable to
comply with any of the danger notices or procedures
described in these documents.
Closely examine the data plate upon pump delivery to
become thoroughly familiar with the operating limits for
this pump model. The pump must never be operated
at speeds, pressures or horsepower exceeding the
maximum values shown on the data plate or at
speeds below the minimum shown. Failure to ob-
serve the operating limits shown on the data plate
could result in personal injury, death, and/or
equipment damage and will void the warranty. Al-
terations to the pump, or application of the pump out-
side the data plate limits, must not be made without
Gardner Denver Machinery written approval together
with a new data plate, as dangerous operating condi-
tions could result.
THE DANGER NOTICE AND DATA PLATES PRO-
VIDED ON THE EQUIPMENT MUST NOT BE RE-
MOVED, PAINTED OVER, HIDDEN OR DEFACED.
They must be replaced if they become damaged or un-
readable. Provisions should be made to have the fol-
lowing written danger notices plus the pump operating
and service manual readily available to operators and
maintenance personnel. In addition, copies of all pump
system accessory component (e.g. pressure relief
valve, pulsation dampener, suction stabilizer, engine,
electric motor, etc.) operating and service manuals
should be readily available for operator and mainte-
nance personnel use. Read and follow all the precau-
tions and instructions contained in these manuals. If
any of these documents are lost or become illegible
they must be replaced immediately. The danger no-
tices plus the operating and service manuals should be
reread periodically by both operators and maintenance
personnel to refresh their memories in safe procedures
and practices.
Keep in mind that full operator attention and alertness
are required when operating high pressure pumping
equipment. Operators should not begin or continue op-
erations when tired, distracted or under the influence of
alcohol or any type of prescription or nonprescription
drugs.
The timely replacement of expendable parts and any
other worn or damaged parts can prevent equipment
damage and possible injury. The original parts used in
Gardner Denver pumps are designed and tested to ex-
acting standards to provide high quality performance
and durability. Your best insurance in maintaining
these characteristics is to use genuine Gardner Denver
replacement parts.
A broad range of danger notices are covered on these
pages, however, they cannot substitute for training, ex-
perience and common sense in the safe operation of
high pressure pumping equipment.
HAMMER LUG FASTENERS
On pumps or pump package units equipped with ham-
mer lug connectors and/or hammer lug valve covers
the following precautions must be observed to avoid
personal injury, death and/or equipment damage due
to contact with the hammer, hammer bar, broken parts
from the hammer, hammer bar or lugs or other objects
propelled by hammer blows. When tightening or loos-
ening hammer lug connectors and valve covers, opera-
tors or maintenance personnel should:
S
Inspect the hammer, hammer lugs and hammer
bar, if one is used, to insure they are all in good
condition. Replace any of these parts which are
cracked, damaged or badly worn.
S
Wear safety shoes and goggles.
S
Alert other personnel to move away from the
area.
S
Check to insure they have safe footing.
S
Fully engage the hammer bar, if one is used, to
prevent it from disengaging violently from the
cover as a blow is struck.
S
Wipe their hands and the hammer handle and
maintain a firm grip on the handle to avoid losing
control of the hammer while swinging and strik-
ing.
