1.10. It is recommended that inlet/outlet isolation valves are fitted within close proximity of the pump to permit isolation for servicing (See Figures 2 & 3). 1.11. Ensure no fluid drips onto the pump motor or its electrical connections during installation, venting or operation as when the pump is energised this may create a risk of electric shock.
