General Instructions For All Pump Models
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The instruction manual contains important
information on how to operate the pump safely,
properly and most efficiently. Observing these
instructions helps to avoid danger, to reduce
repair costs, downtimes and to increase the
reliability and life of pump.
1.2 The operating instructions must always be
available wherever the pump is in use.
1.3 The operating instructions must be read and
applied by any person in charge of carrying out
work on the pump.
1.4 Observe the mandatory rules and regulations for
accident prevention and environmental
protection in the country and place of use of the
pump. The generally recognized technical rules
for safe and proper working must also be
observed.
2. SAFETY
2.1 A pump that is installed incorrectly, operated
wrongly, or maintained poorly can present a
hazard. If the following considerations are
overlooked, the safety of personnel or
satisfactory operation of the pump may be
endangered.
2.2 Attention must be given to the safe handling of
all items. Where pumps, pump units or
components weigh in excess of 20 kg (44 lb.), it
is recommended that suitable lifting equipment
should be used in the correct manner to ensure
that personal injury or damage to pump
components does not occur.
N
that lifting eyes fitted to individual pieces such
OTE
as pump and motor are designed to lift only this
part and not the complete assembly.
2.3 Before starting to dismantle a pump all relevant
and appropriate safety precautions must be
taken, particularly if the pumps have been
handling hazardous or toxic products. Seek
advice from your safety officer or the
manufacturer if you have any doubts.
2.4 Always wear adequate protective clothing and
eye protection when dismantling pumps that
have been used to pump toxic or hazardous
products. Breathing apparatus may be
necessary.
2.5 Always isolate the pump electrically before
dismantling. Ensure that the electrical switch
gear cannot be operated whilst any work is being
carried out on the pump.

pipework.

special decontamination procedures have to
be followed before working on a pump.

decontaminated and labeled to inform what
precautions should be taken before dismantling.
3. SHIPMENT INSPECTION
3.1 Pumps and units are shipped suitably protected
to prevent damage in transit from normal
handling. When received, the shipment should
be inspected immediately. Damages to the
packaging or crating that may reveal content
damages when unpacked should be noted on
the carrier's bill of lading.
3.2 A photograph is helpful in any claims to be
made against the shipper; also, inform
manufacturer or the local authorized distributor.
3.3 Shipment shortages, checked against the bill of
lading, should be reported to the carrier and
likewise noted on the bill of lading.
3.4 Check the nameplate data against the shipping
papers and against your purchase order to
ensure that the proper pump is provided.
4. STORAGE
4.1 After receipt and inspection, a pump not
immediately installed should be repackaged and
placed in suitable storage.
Protective coatings on unpainted surfaces
should be inspected and left intact. Unpainted
surfaces, not factory treated with a rust inhibiting
coating, should have a protective coating
applied. Plastic or gasket type port covers should
be left in place.
Pumps received wrapped with corrosion
inhibiting treated material should be rewrapped.
Select a clean, dry storage location. When moist,
dusty atmosphere must be used for storage,
further protect the pump or unit with a moisture
repellent cover until it is to be installed.
