Section 1.0 General Information and Safety Instructions
SPP Pumps Limited products are designed to reduce hazards to safety.
Some hazards cannot be guarded against and the instructions below MUST
be complied with for safe use. These instructions cannot cover all
circumstances. YOU are responsible for safe working.
1.1
SPP Pumps Limited Type AT pumps are designed for installation in the oil
cooling circuits of electrical transformers and converters. Installations can be
either static, or mobile, e.g. locomotive applications. Do not use for any other
purpose without permission from SPP Pumps Limited.
A Pump Data Plate is fitted to each unit and must not be removed. Loss
of this plate could make identification impossible. This in turn could affect
safety and cause difficulty in obtaining spare parts. Should accidental loss
or damage occur, contact SPP Pumps Limited, immediately.
1.2
Check that all personnel installing, operating or maintaining Type AT pumps
are adequately qualified, trained and issued with the correct tools. Limit
access to those persons only.
1.3
The above persons must study the instruction manual BEFORE any work is
done. They must first confirm that the manual is the correct copy by
comparing the serial number on the Pump Data Plate with that on the
manual. Personnel must also comply with all local and industry based
safety instructions and regulations, in addition to those in this manual.
1.4
Always wear ear protection where the equipment noise level exceeds locally
defined safe limits. Use eye and other protection when working with
pressurised systems and hazardous substances. Use any other personal
protection equipment where local rules apply.
1.5
Do NOT wear loose or frayed clothing or jewellery that could catch or
become trapped in any moving parts.
1.6
Note the 'Limits of Product Application - Permissible Use' specified at the
beginning of the manual. If the equipment is operated outside these limits
there will be an increased risk to safety and premature and hazardous pump
failure.
1.7
Do NOT touch surfaces that may be hot. Surfaces known to be hot in
normal running will be marked with a HOT warning symbol. Be cautious,
high surfaces temperatures can also occur where hot fluids are being
pumped, or a fault is developing.
