1.0 Important Safety Instructions
Many accidents occur every year through careless use of mechanical equipment. You
can avoid hazards associated with high pressure equipment by always following the
safety precautions listed below.
• Shut down or disengage the pump and all accessory equipment before
attempting any type of service. Failure to do this could cause electrical shock or
injury from moving pump parts or components under high pressure. Always
adhere to "Lock Out" and "Tag Out" procedures. For mobile equipment, be sure
engines and hydraulics cannot be accidentally started.
• Bleed off all pressure to the pump and piping before performing any
maintenance on the pump. Failure to do so may spray water or chemicals at high
pressure or high temperature onto service personnel.
• Never operate the pump without a pressure relief valve, rupture disc, or other
type of properly sized over pressure safety device installed.
• Always use a pressure gaUge when operating the pump. The pressure must
never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the pump or damage may occur.
This damage can cause leakage or structural damage resulting in injury to
personnel.
• Ensure that no valves are placed between the pump and pressure relief
valve. If the pump is started with a closed or restricted valve in line before the
pressure relief valve, the pump may exceed the rated or design pressure limits
and rupture causing injury to personnel.
• Use shields or covers around pumps when pumping hot water, chemicals, or
other hazardous liquids. This precaution can prevent the exposure of service
personnel to these fluids should leakage occur.
• Always use guards on all belt drives, couplings, and shafts. Guards can prevent
personnel from becoming entangled and injured by rotating and reciprocating
parts.
• Use extreme caution with solvents used to clean or degrease equipment. Most
solvents are highly flammable and toxic. Observe all safety instructions on
packaging.
• follow normal environmental GUIDELINES when fluids, lubricants, or solvents
are disposed of or spilled.
• NEVER MODIFY THE PUMP to perform beyond its rated specifications without
proper authorization in writing from FMC.
