DO NOT OPERATE PUMP IF:
–  The front cover is not installed correctly 
–  Any guards are missing or incorrectly installed 
–  The suction or discharge piping is not connected  
DO NOT place fingers, etc  into the pumping chamber 

or its connection ports or into any part of the drive train 

if there is ANY possibility of the pump shafts being 

rotated  Severe injury will occur 
DO NOT exceed the pumps rated pressure, speed, and 

temperature, or change the system/duty parameters 

from those for which the pump was originally supplied, 

without confirming its suitability for the new duty 
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE PUMP 

SAFETY REGULATIONS.
Rare earth magnets used in couplings have 

extremely strong magnetic fields capable of 

changing performance or damaging items such as: 

Pacemakers, Metal Implants, Watches, Computers 

& Disks, and Credit Cards
Completely assembled magnetic couplings will 

not affect items listed above - only disassembled 

components 
There are no known harmful effects of these 

magnetic fields on the human body 
A device must be incorporated into the pump, system, 

or drive to prevent the pump exceeding its stated duty 

pressure  It must be suitable for both directions of 

pump rotation where applicable  Do not allow pump 

to operate with a closed/blocked discharge unless a 

pressure relief device is incorporated  If an integral 

relief valve is incorporated into the pump, do not allow 

re-circulation through the relief valve for extended 

periods 
The mounting of the pump or pump unit should be  

solid and stable  Pump orientation must be considered 

in relation to drainage requirements  Once mounted, 

shaft drive elements must be checked for correct 

alignment  Rotate pump shaft by at least one full 

revolution to ensure smoothness of operation  

Incorrect alignment will produce excessive loadings 

and will create high temperatures and increased noise 

emissions  Do not use any drive arrangements which 

cause sideloading of the drive shaft  
The installation must allow safe routine maintenance 

and inspection (to check for leakage, monitor 

pressures, etc) and provide adequate ventilation 

necessary to prevent overheating 

Before operating the pump, be sure that it and all 

parts of the system to which it is connected are clean 

and free from debris and that all valves in the suction 

and discharge pipelines are fully opened  Ensure that 

all piping connecting to the pump is fully supported 

and correctly aligned with its relevant connections  

Misalignment and/or excess loads will cause severe 

pump damage 
Be sure that pump rotation is correct for the desired 

direction of flow 
DO NOT INSTALL THE PUMP INTO A SYSTEM 

SUPPLY OF PUMPED MEDIA).
Pressure gauges/sensors are recommended, next 

to the pump suction and discharge connections to 

monitor pressures 
Caution must be taken when lifting the pump  Suitable 

lifting devices should be used as appropriate  Lifting 

eyes installed on the pump must only be used to lift  

the pump, not pump with drive and/or baseplate  If 

pump is baseplate mounted, the base plate must be 

used for all lifting purposes  If slings are used for lifting, 

they must be safely and securely attached  For weights 

of bare shaft pumps refer to catalog 
DO NOT attempt any maintenance or disassembly of 

the pump or pump unit without first ensuring that : 
–  The pump is fully isolated from the power source 

(electric, hydraulic, pneumatic) 

– The pumping chamber, relief valve and any 

shaft seal support system are depressurized and 

purged 

–  Any temperature control devices (jackets, heat-

tracing, etc) are fully isolated, that they are 

depressurized and purged, and components are 

allowed to reach a safe handling temperature 

DO NOT attempt to dismantle a pressure relief valve 

which has not had the spring pressure relieved or is 

mounted on a pump that is operating  Serious personal 

injury or death and/or pump damage may occur 
DO NOT loosen or undo the front cover, any 

connections to the pump, shaft seal housings, 

temperature control devices, or other components, 

until sure that such action will not allow the unsafe 

escape of any pressurized media 
Pumps and/or drives can produce sound power levels 

exceeding 85 dB(A) under certain operating conditions  

When necessary, personal protection against noise 

must be taken 
Avoid any contact with hot parts of pumps and/or  

drives which may cause injury  Certain operating 

conditions, temperature control devices (jackets, heat-

tracing, etc ), bad installation, or poor maintenance 

can all promote high temperatures on pumps and/or 

drives 

Danger - Failure to follow the listed 

precautionary measures identified by 

this symbol may result in serious injury 

or death 

Warning - Safety instructions which 

shall be considered for reasons of safe 

operation of the pump or pump unit and/

or protection of the pump or pump unit 

itself are marked by this symbol
