Do not use the pump for anything that it is not designed to do.
User’s failure to observe this
instruction exempts Walchem from any responsibility for personal injury or damage to the
equipment or facility caused by the pump’s misuse.
When handling liquid with toxic or strong vapors,
ventilate the working area well. In addition,
the operator must wear protective gear (such as a safety mask, safety goggles, and protective gloves).
Do not allow toxic substances such as lubricants, solvents, or similar substances to flow
into the local sewage system or river systems.
Do not drain hazardous liquids such as chemical
solutions discharged out of the pump directly onto the ground. Instead, drain such liquids into an
appropriate container. Observe the laws and regulations related to the application, handling, and
processing of hazardous substances.
Caution
(Always read and observe the following instructions to prevent personal injury.)
Wear gloves when working with rope or chain.
Working with bare hands may result in
serious injury, since fingers are likely to be caught between the pump and the rope or chain
when the rope or chain is under tension.
The pump is not designed to be used under water.
Install the pump in a clean, dry
environment where the pump cannot become submerged. It is recommended that the pump
be shielded from direct exposure to the elements.
Install a safety valve on the discharge line.
Installation of a pressure relief valve is highly
recommended. Check local codes and regulations.
Do not close off the discharge or suction lines while the pump is operating.
The pump or
piping may become damaged.
