18Installation, Operations & Maintenance Manual
2.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When installing, operating, and maintaining the
mRoy pump, keep safety considerations foremost.
Use proper tools, protective clothing, and eye
protection when working on the equipment and
install the equipment in compliance of NEC,
NEPA and local codes. Follow the instructions in
this manual and take additional safety measures
appropriate to the liquid being pumped. Be
extremely careful in the presence of hazardous
substances (e.g., corrosives, toxics, solvents,
acids, caustics, ammables, etc.).
2.4 PUMP MOUNTING&LIFTING/
LOCATION
The mRoy pump can be mounted on any surface
that is at and level for the support feet. Three
mounting bolt holes are provided in the support feet
for use when the pump is to be rmly anchored to
a base surface (see Figure 14.)
Increased reliability can be expected if pump
locations are avoided which are subjected to high
ambient temperatures above 100°F (38°C) with
poor free-air circulation over the pump assembly.
2.5 OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
The mRoy pump is designed as a totally enclosed
unit suitable for installation either indoors or
outdoors. However, for outdoor installations the
pump mounting area should be selected to provide
protection against environmental extremes:
1. Operation with continuous exposure to sunshine
with ambient temperatures above 90°F (32°C),
which would cause higher oil temperatures
and reduce lubricity should be avoided. Good
installation practice would dictate providing
a sun shade over the pump with open sides
to obtain the best air circulation around the
pump.
2. Frequent start-up where the pump has been idle
in an ambient temperature below 30°F (-1°C)
is not recommended. Provide a removable,
insulated enclosure over the pump and mounting
base with provisions for an electrical heater
(100 watt light, heat lamp, heater tape etc.) to

Lifting
Put the sling under the motor terminal box and
under the motor ange. Cross the two ends
of the sling and close the loop (see diagrams).
Before attempting to move it, check that the
entire unit is well balanced.
Note: As soon as the pump is in position, fasten
it down.
