5.2 Maintenance precautions for magnet-driven equipment:
 Non-magnetic tools and non-magnetic work surfaces are recommended to perform any disassembly or
maintenance of the pump.
 Do not wear a wristwatch in the vicinity of the drive or driven magnets, wristwatches may be damaged
by the transmission of magnetic flux.
 The strong magnetic field will damage credit cards, security badges, or other magnetic data strips.
Keep them a safe distance from the magnets.
 Take precautions in handling pump magnets if you have prosthetic devices, metal or medical inserts
installed in your body. Consult your physician for guidance in handling magnets.
 Completely flush and drain pump prior to pump disassembly.
 The exposed magnets on the drive magnet assembly are very fragile and will chip easily. Use extreme
care in handling them.
 Take care to avoid magnetic particles or objects from attaching themselves to the drive magnets. It is
difficult to remove small particles, and larger objects could be attracted with enough force to break the
magnets.
B E CAREFUL DURING DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY OF THE DRIVE AND DRIVEN MAGNET
ASSEMBLIES . T HE MAGNETIC ATTRACTION FORCES ARE HIGH , AND WHEN THE MAGNETS COME
CLOSE TOGETHER THERE IS A STRONG TENDENCY TO SNAP TOGETHER SUDDENLY , POTENTIALLY
CAUSING INJURY TO FINGERS OR FLESH .
D O NOT MACHINE THE MAGNETS OR MAGNET CARRIERS IN THE DRIVE OR DRIVEN MAGNET
ASSEMBLIES . T HE MAGNETIC DUST THAT WOULD BE PRODUCED IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE .
