Commissioning, Start-Up, Operation, Shutdown
Before attempting to start your pump the following must be understood and followed to ensure safe operation.
•
Only authorized operators having the knowledge and skill necessary to safely use a pump, or any equipment the
pump is connected to, may run the pump.
•
When running roller pumps it is essential that operators use hearing protection as the sound levels can reach
levels of 80 decibels.
•
When handling pumps one should wear steel toed shoes and protective gloves in order to protect the feet in the
event the pump is dropped and protect the hands from any sharp surfaces on the pump or chemicals.
•
When spraying manually it is recommended that chemical resistant face masks and clothing be worn to prevent
any chemicals from coming into contact with the skin or being inhaled.
•
When spraying manually always spray upwind of yourself as long as the sprayed chemical will not drift into the
vicinity of other people.
•
When installing, adjusting or removing a roller pump ensure that there are no objects which can fall on the
installer and make certain that all machinery to which the pump is to be attached is turned off.
•
Roller pumps should only be used on tractors or tow behind spray platforms which have electrically conductive
tires in order to reduce the risk of electrocution.
•
Never operate a roller pump from outside while there is a chance of getting struck by lightning.
•
Never leave electrical wires or plumbing components where they can be a tripping hazard or become entangled
in a moving component. Ideally electrical cables, hoses, pipes and fittings should be routed overhead. In the event
electrical wiring must be routed over the ground operators are required to use rubber ramps if they cross a gangway.
•
If users of a roller pump are using a PTO shaft, flexible coupling or belt drive they are required to use CE approved
PTO shafts and guards
•
Roller pumps should not be used if the ambient light is below 200lux.
•
For roller pumps which use gas engines the user should always ensure the exhaust is properly attached to the
engine and is not leaking
Only use approved chemicals in your pump, for a complete list of approved chemicals see the "Fluid
Pumping Applications" section. Failure to follow this warning will void your warranty and could lead to property
damage, serious injury or death.
