Always lift the pump via the lifting handle. Never lift or drag the pump
via electrical power cable.
Always ensure the pump is secured and packaged to prevent damage
during transportation. When transporting along unsealed roads, pack
the pump so as prevent damage which can be caused to the bearings
and seals by excessive vibration.
Do not drop the pump as not only can this cause physical damage to
the exterior of the pump it can also cause damage to bearings and
mechanical seals.
Where pumps are stored for extended periods ensure that the cable,
seal sleeve and mechanical seals, are intact putting the pump into
operation, also ensure that the impeller can rotate freely and that
oil/grease levels are correct.
Installation must be undertaken by suitably qualified persons. Ensure all
relevant safety standards are adhered to and be aware of hazards
which exist in the area in question.
When positioning the pump in an operating environment take measures to
reduce the amount of solids and fines which can enter the pump.
Wear and associated repair costs are directly related to the amount of solids
being pumped.
Ensure that all electrical connections are correct and that suitable overload/motor
protection devices are used and that the pump is operating within its
designated current range.
Ensure the direction of rotation is correct.
Ensure discharge lines and fittings are properly secured and rated for the
installation’s design pressure. All discharge lines must be free of kinks
and blockages.
