CAUTION !
TO REDUCE THE RISK Of LEAKAGE WITH VIKING
MAG DRIVE PUMPS, USERS SHOULD COMPLY
WITH THE fOLLOWING GUIDELINES AND ADHERE
TO THE fOLLOWING PROCEDURES:
■ The pump configuration and materials used in a pump
are tailored to the application for which it is ordered
Users should never use a pump for an application
that is different from the application specified when
the pump was ordered This includes differences in
liquid, speed, pressure, temperature or viscosity
■ Users must understand the characteristics of liquids
they are pumping and be especially aware of any
particulates in the liquid Particulates can cause
rapid wear of the bushings, especially if carbon
graphite bushings are used Hard bushings and
hard shafts can reduce the risk of rapid wear, but
the use of hard materials is not always the optimal
solution In applications involving non-abrasive, non-
self lubricating liquids, carbon graphite bushings are
typically the preferred material
■ Users should periodically inspect their pump for
wear This is especially critical and should be
carried out with greater frequency when carbon
graphite bushings are used or the same pump has
not previously been used for the same application,
including the same liquid, speed, pressure,
temperature and viscosity Users should promptly
replace worn parts when they are discovered
■ Users should continuously monitor pumps that are
handling hazardous liquids This is especially critical
for unmanned, remote locations If a user does not
have in-house expertise in the area of monitoring,
it should contact a local engineering firm with
monitoring experience
