WARNING:
Do not operate the pump without the protective guards in place over the rotating parts. Exposed rotating parts can
catch clothing, fingers, or tools, causing severe injury to personnel.
CAUTION:
This pump is designed for the exclusive use of pumping water. It should not be used for pumping other media unless a
specific Purchase/Buyer agreement is negotiated.
WARNING:
Because many installations use automatic starting equipment, the pump unit may start at any time
without warning.
HOUSEKEEPING:
The area surrounding the pump installation area should be kept free of rags and debris. The area should be kept clean and
dry and should be checked periodically to ensure there is no water, oil or grease on the floor which could cause accidental
slippage of maintenance personnel.
The pump and driver should be kept clean. Any spillage of lubricants on the pump/driver during periodic maintenance
should be wiped clean. Loose ends of packing should be picked up and properly discarded after repacking the pump.
Drain lines should be checked to ensure they are functioning properly.
Driver ventilation ports should be kept free to ensure proper cooling of the motor.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:
Pumps are designed to operate in moderate to severe environmental conditions. Normally they should not be operated
in an ambient temperature exceeding 130°F or in conditions that would allow the sealing water or the pumped media to
freeze.
STORAGE OF PUMPS;
GENERAL:
If the equipment is not to be immediately installed and operated, store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated place, free from
vibrations, moisture and rapid or wide variations in temperature.
Improper storage and preservation could damage the equipment which would result in non-warranty covered restoration
requirements or non-warranty covered product failures.
CONSIDER A UNIT IN STORAGE:
1. When it has been delivered to the job site and is awaiting installation.
2. When it has been installed but operation is delayed pending completion of construction.
3. When there are long (30 days or more) periods between operation cycles.
4. When the pump is shut down for periods of longer than 30 days.
