2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1
Safety Symbols
Safety instructions within this manual are
marked with the following symbols:
This symbol refers to general mechanical
aspects of safety.
This symbol refers to electrical safety.
This symbol gives warning of a hazard
to the pump itself, which in turn could
cause a risk to personal safety.
2.2 Pump Safety Precautions
apply to all the following:-
2.2.1 This pump contains exposed moving
parts and hot surfaces
DO NOT
OPERATE THE PUMP WITH THE
DOORS OPEN. Guards removed for
maintenance must be replaced before
starting the pump.
2.2.2 Never insert anything into the pump
casing whilst the pump is running and
the suction and delivery hoses are
disconnected.
2.2.3 Never use collapsible hoses on the
suction side of the pump and use all
pump flange holes to fit suction and
delivery hose connections.
2.2.4 Always lift pump sets vertically by the
lifting eye. Any side force will damage
the lifter. Never lift with suction or
delivery hoses attached. The increased
weight of these items may cause lifting
gear failure.
2.2.5 Check the type of liquid being pumped
before
working on pump ends.
Residues could be hazardous to your
health. If in doubt flush out with clean
water before work commences.
2.2.6 Personnel working on the pump unit
must always wear clean correctly fitting
clothing and safety footwear. Clothing
impregnated with oil or fuel can
constitute a health hazard through
prolonged contact with the skin and
may also constitute a fire hazard.
2.2.7 Always allow adequate ventilation for
diesel engines. Be aware of fire risks
from items such as exhaust pipes and
silencers. Never place flammable items
around the unit.
3. HANDLING & TRANSPORT
3.1 Lifting
The central lifting point is designed for
vertical lifting only and must not be used to
pull the unit sideways. Before lifting ensure
that the lifting point is not bent or damaged.
Do NOT use a lift truck with forks under the
fuel tank and do NOT lift with the hoses
attached.
3.2 Road Trailer Version
There is provision for a lighting board on
the rear of the unit. Remove the two pins
through the open ends of the U-section and
fit the lighting board against the rubber
buffers at the back. Replace the pins to
retain the lighting board in place.
3.3 Site Trailer Version
The site trailer is limited to off road use and
subject to a maximum speed of 10kph
(6mph).
3.4 Skid Mounted and Pod Units
All units have provision for lifting from a
central lifting point through the canopy.
The unit must be located on firm level
foundations. For details of any special
attachment points provided for pod units,
refer to the GA drawing supplied.
3.5 Trailer or Wagon Carriage
Transportation on a trailer or wagon will
require the unit to be strapped down. On
the trailer mounted units, front and rear
location points for straps are incorporated
into the unit: There are two shallow U-
channels on the ‘A’- frame at the front and
a turned up lip on the lighting board
channel at the rear of the unit.
A strap can be fitted directly across the A
frame located by the channels provided.
At the rear of the unit remove the two
lighting board retention pins from the
channel section. Place the strap along the
bottom edge of the channel and replace
the pins.
