Observe all notes, caution or danger tags attached to
the equipment or included in this manual.
C. SCOPE OF COMPLIANCE.
Where Carver Pump has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the rating applies only to the pump. The party
responsible for assembling the pump set shall select the
coupling, driver, seal and any additional equipment, with
the necessary EC Certificate/Declaration of Conformity
establishing it is suitable for the area in which it is to be
installed.
D. SAFETY AWARENESS. It is imperative to comply
with the safety instructions contained in this manual, the
relevant national and international explosion protection
regulations, health and safety regulations and the
operator’s own internal work, operation and safety
regulations.
E. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR
/USER.
Any hot or cold components that could pose a
hazard must be equipped with a guard by the
operator.
Guards which are fitted to prevent accidental
contact with moving parts (e.g. coupling) must
not be removed whilst the unit is operating.
Leakages (e.g. at the shaft seal) of hazardous
fluids (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) must be
contained so as to avoid any danger to persons
or the environment. Pertinent legal provisions
must be adhered to.
Electrical hazards must be eliminated. (In this
respect refer to the relevant safety regulations
applicable to different countries and/or the local
energy supply companies.)
F. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE,
INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION WORK. The
operator is responsible for ensuring that all
maintenance, inspection and installation work be
performed by authorized, qualified personnel who are
thoroughly familiar with the manual and pumping unit.
The pumping unit must have cooled down to ambient
temperature, pump pressure must have been released
and the pump must have been drained before working
on any pumping unit. Work on the pumping unit must be
carried out during shutdown. The shutdown procedure
described in the manual for taking the unit out of service
must be adhered to.
Pumps handling fluids that are hazardous to personnel
must be decontaminated prior to being worked on.
Immediately following completion of the work, all safety
relevant and protective devices must be reinstalled
and/or reactivated. Please observe all instructions set
out in the Section VIII on start up before returning the
pumping unit to service.
G. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Various federal, state, and local laws affect
installation, use, and operation of pumping
equipment. Compliance with such laws relating
to proper installation and safe operation of
pumping equipment is the responsibility of the
equipment owner.
Prior to working on pump or driver, ensure all
switches and circuit breakers have been locked
in the open (off) position and tagged, “Out of
Service.”
All circuits NOT known to be dead must be
considered live at all times.
DO NOT wear loose or torn clothing around
rotating machines.
While working near electricity, DO NOT use
metal rules, flashlights, metallic pencils, or any
other objects having exposed conducting
material.
Make sure you are NOT grounded while
adjusting electrical equipment or using
measuring equipment.
In general, use only one hand when servicing
live electrical equipment.
Make sure to de-energize all electrical
equipment before connecting or disconnecting
meters or test leads.
For connecting a meter to terminals for
measurement, use a range higher than the
expected voltage.
Check to make sure that the frame of the driver
and starter panel are securely grounded before
operating pumping unit or performing any tests
or measurements.
If a test meter must be held or adjusted while
voltage is applied, ground case of meter before
starting measurement. DO NOT touch live
equipment while holding the meter. Some
moving vane-type meters should not be
grounded nor held during measurements.
DO NOT use test equipment known to be
damaged or in poor condition.
