1.6 Safety

1.6.1 Summary of safety markings

These User Instructions contain specific safety

markings where non-observance of an instruction would

cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:

This symbol indicates electrical safety

instructions where non-compliance will involve a high

risk to personal safety or the loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions where

non-compliance would affect personal safety and

could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates “hazardous and toxic fluid”

safety instructions where non-compliance would affect

personal safety and could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety

instructions where non-compliance will involve some

risk to safe operation and personal safety and would

damage the equipment or property.

This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere

zone marking according to ATEX. It is used in safety

instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous

area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates

an important instruction in the assembly process.

1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training

All personnel involved in the operation, installation,

inspection and maintenance of the unit must be

qualified to carry out the work involved. If the

personnel in question do not already possess the

necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training

and instruction must be provided. If required the

operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier

to provide applicable training.

Always coordinate repair activity with operations and

health and safety personnel, and follow all plant

safety requirements and applicable safety and health

laws and regulations.

1.6.3 Safety action

This is a summary of conditions and actions to

help prevent injury to personnel and damage to

the environment and to equipment. For products

used in potentially explosive atmospheres

section 1.6.4 also applies.

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK

WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE

THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK

BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP

The appropriate safety precautions should be taken

where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)

When a pump has experienced temperatures over

250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoro-

elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this

condition these are extremely dangerous and skin

contact must be avoided.

HANDLING COMPONENTS

Many precision parts have sharp corners and the

wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment

is required when handling these components. To lift

heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane

appropriate for the mass and in accordance with

current local regulations.

THERMAL SHOCK

Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within

the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result

in damage or breakage of components and should be

avoided.

APPLYING HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER

There may be occasions when the impeller has either

been shrunk fit on to the pump shaft or has become

difficult to remove due to products of corrosion.

If you elect to use heat to remove the impeller, it must

be applied quickly to the impeller boss. TAKE

GREAT CARE!

Before applying heat ensure any residual hazardous

liquid trapped between the impeller and pump shaft is

thoroughly drained out through the impeller keyway to

prevent an explosion or emission of toxic vapour.

This must be carried out with the shaft in the vertical

position. On some pump sizes a cavity exists in the

impeller bore so on occasions a significant volume of

liquid may drain out.
