Introduction; Safety; Safety Notices - Flowserve SVCN 7 Installation Operation & Maintenance

This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Flowserve
pump. The instructions are written for the use of personnel with a general training in the operation
and maintenance of centrifugal pumps.
Your pump has been designed to provide safe and reliable service. However, it is both a pressure
vessel and a piece of rotating machinery. Operators must exercise good judgment and observe correct
safety practices to avoid damage to the equipment and surroundings and to prevent personnel injury.
The pump has been designed for the pumping conditions specified in the customer's order. Flowserve
must be consulted prior to any significant change of conditions.
It is assumed that your safety department has established a safety program based upon a thorough
analysis of the hazards associated with your industry. Your safety program must be reviewed to
ensure that it covers hazards associated with high speed rotating machinery before installing,
operating, or performing maintenance on the pump and associated components covered by this
manual. Correct installation and care of protective guards, shut down devices, and over pressure
protection equipment are essential to any safety program and must be included.
If applicable to your operating environment, your safety program must also cover hazards which arise
from the presence of electrical power, hot oil, high pressure and temperature liquids, toxic gases and
liquids, or flammable gases or liquids.
Also essential are special precautionary measures to prevent the possibility of applying power to the
equipment at any time when maintenance work is in progress. The prevention of rotation due to
reverse flow should not be overlooked.
In general, all personnel should be guided by all the basic rules of safety associated with the
equipment and the process.
Throughout this manual, you will encounter the words WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE. These
are intended to emphasize certain areas in the interest of operator safety and satisfactory pump
operation/maintenance. The importance of these words is as follows:
A procedure, which, if not strictly observed, could result
in personnel injury or loss of life.
A procedure which, if not correctly followed, could result in
damage to, or destruction of, equipment.
