Risk
Description
Considerations
Crushing, cutting, entaglement
Possible only if guards are not
installed, or if pump is running with
piping disconnected.
Ensure that guards are installed.
Do not open the pump while
running or energized
High-pressure fluid ejection
Possibility for connection malfunction
or hose rupture, depending on
installation. Pump casing
components designed to hold
pressure up to full rated level.
Ejection of transmission parts
Improperly tightened coupling set
screws may be ejected, but would be
contained by properly installed
guard. Seal may shatter and eject
pieces in unusual circumstances.
When handling the pump use
protective gear.
Electrical and electrostatic
Incorrect wiring of motor by end user
may result in improper grounding or
shorts - must refer to supplied motor
manual. In some circumstances, fluid
running through pump can generate
static electricity - use of a grounding
strap mitigates this risk.
High Temperature
Pump alone will not tend to run at
potentially injury-causing
temperatures; however, pumping of
hot fluids will cause the exterior of the
pump and piping to become hot as
well. System integrator or plant
operator must take responsibility for
proper safeguards in such specific
applications.
When handling the pump use
protective gear.
Incorrect assembly
Improper assembly may lead to part
ejection or fluid leak hazards as
described above.
Read Maunal before giving
maintenace to the pump.
Material
Pumps supplied to food or pharma
applications are designed in
accordance with 3A, EHEDG, or other
applicable indistry standards.
Verify material compatibility with
the fluid pumped
Noise
Pump noise can exceed 80 dB under
certain operating conditions.
Personnel exposed to elevated noise
levels for prolonged periods must use
suitable hearing protection.
When handling the pump use
protective gear.
