Rev.10.15 Appendix Pumps
General Safety Instruction
• Installation, operation, and maintenance instructions must be correctly and strictly
followed, otherwise, injury to personnel or serious damage to the pump could result.
• ITW Dynatec cannot accept responsibility for unsatisfactory performance or
damage resulting from failure to comply with instructions.
• Only trained operators or trained, specialized personnel may handle or operate the
pump.
• Always wear proper personal protective equipment. (i.e. Safety glasses, steel-toed
shoes, face shield, protective clothing, gloves, respirator, dust mask, etc., as
required for safe practices).
• Do not run the pump dry, or with no inlet fluid flow. Make sure the pump is only
operated with, and never without, liquid filling the pump housing.
• Do not remove safety guards or other protective devices prior to installation or
during operation.
• Be certain all safety devices, machine safety guards, protective electrical
connections, temperature monitoring devices, pressure monitoring devices and
sealing apparatus are installed and operational prior to starting the pump.
• Pumps may not be used with foodstuffs.
• Do not allow the pump to change temperature rapidly.
• Do not apply open flame to a pump.
• Do not allow leaking fluid to combust.
• Do not expose the pump to liquid nitrogen or other extremely cold substances.
• Do not attempt to quench a hot pump by applying water or other cool liquid to the
surface.
If the pump is to be preheated or cooled prior to installation, heat or cool the pump
to the operating temperature by use of an approved method, such as a band heater,
bar heater, oven, cooling or environmental chamber, liquid bath or heating jacket,
which can fully reach the operating temperature of the pumping system. Monitor the
pump temperature and ensure the target temperature has been met and
maintained. Allow ample time to heat-soak the pump thoroughly and evenly
(including the seal arrangement).
• The manufacturer’s warranty will be void if any part is replaced, or the pump is
modified in any way, without permission from ITW Dynatec.
