Rules for Arming and Disarming
Before proceeding with the assembly or disassembly of the pump, keep in mind that:
•
Personnel responsible for operation, maintenance, inspection and assembly must be suitably qualified and authorized.
•
The scope of responsibility and supervision of the personnel must be exactly defined by the plant operator.
•
The plant operator must ensure that the operating instructions are fully understood by the personnel.
•
In order to be eligible for the warranty period of the warranty offered by VOGT S.A., it is necessary that:
o
The instructions in this manual have been followed correctly.
o
The equipment must be disassembled only by authorized personnel of our Technical Assistance Services or directly
by personnel from our factory.
•
Any modification of the equipment must be previously consulted with VOGT S.A. For safety reasons, spare parts and
accessories authorized by VOGT S.A. must be used.
•
The use of non-original spare parts exempts VOGT S.A. from any responsibility.
•
Before proceeding to assemble or disassemble the pump, make sure that:
o
The motor cannot be operated accidentally and must therefore be disconnected from the mains (e.g. remove fuses,
unplug, switch off circuit breaker, etc.).
o
The pump is free of pumped fluid, cleaning it internally with appropriate liquid in case it is a hazardous fluid (hot,
pollutant, flammable, etc.).
o
The pump is disconnected from suction and discharge piping and its base.
•
During arming or disarming of the pump:
o
Never use fire or heat to disassemble the pump.
o
Never strike the pump elements.
o
Always use suitable tools.
o
Never assemble the pump with damaged parts or components.
•
After a longer period of operation, it is possible that individual parts may become disassembled or dismantled with difficulty.
If necessary, use a known deoxidizer or, if possible, a suitable disassembly device. NEVER USE INAPPROPRIATE FORCE
which could damage the part, the pump or persons.
•
During arming or disarming consider the exploded view of the pump in section 8.5.
