MAINTENANCE 

 

Hazardous voltage. 

Can shock, burn or 

cause death. 

Failure to disconnect and lockout 

electrical power before attempting 

maintenance can cause shock, burns or 

death 

 

 

 

 

Hazardous or toxic 

fluids can cause 

serious injury. 

If pumping hazardous fluids, system 

must be flushed, prior to performing 

service or maintenance 

 

 

 

 

Strong  

Magnetic  

field 

Strong magnetic field can cause 

personal injury or death to individuals 

with medical implants or other magnetic 

field sensitive medical conditions 

 

 

 

 

Explosive 

atmosphere can 

cause serious 

injury 

Rare earth magnets may create sparks 

through contact and handling.  Never 

handle rare earth magnets in explosive 

atmospheres where sparking may ignite 

that atmosphere 

 

 

 

Hazardous 

machinery can 

cause serious 

personal injury 

Failure to disconnect and lockout 

electrical power or engine drive before 

attempting maintenance can cause 

serious personal injury or death 

 

 

 

 

Hazardous pressure 

can cause serious 

personal injury or 

property damage 

Failure to relieve system pressure prior 

to performing pump service or 

maintenance can cause personal injury 

or property damage. 

 

 

Do not operate 

without guard  

in place

 

Operation without guards in place can 

cause serious personal injury, major 

property damage, or death. 

 

Hazardous pressure 

can cause serious 

personal injury or 

property damage 

Disconnecting fluid or pressure 

containment components during pump 

operation can cause serious personal 

injury, death or major property damage 

 

 

Strong magnetic 

field can cause 

personal injury 

Failure to use care when handling 

magnets can cause personal injury 

 

NOTICE:

 

Maintenance shall be performed by qualified technicians 

only, following the appropriate procedures and warnings 

as presented in this manual.

 

 

NOTICE:

 

Properly dispose of all waste fluids according to state and 

local regulations.

 

 

NOTICE:

 

Clear the work area of all tools and materials affected by 

magnets. Non-magnetic work surface recommended.

 

 

STRAINERS

 

Adequately sized system strainers are recommended. 

Strainers MUST be kept clean to ensure adequate fluid flow to 

the pump. Failure to do so can cause pump cavitation and 

system damage. 

 

LUBRICATION

 

NOTICE: 

To  avoid  possible  entanglement  in  moving  parts  do  not 

lubricate the optional motor coupling adaptor or any other 

parts while the pump is running

.

 

Pump sleeve bearings are lubricated by the pumpage. No other 

lubrication is required. For motor lubrication, refer to the 

manufacturer's instructions.
