Many warnings and admonitions are included in this manual unfortunately there are too many to incorporate into on unit labels For this reason it is essential that the manual be treated as part of the product and made mandatory reading for personnel associated with the product and system VERDERFLEX 2 5 Operational Safety t DANGER e Always isolate the power supply before working on the pump WARNING e Never place hands or other parts of the body inside or near any part of the pump when it is in operation or when the power is not totally isolated CAUTION e When the pump is running you should not touch the pump and should maintain an adequate safe distance around it e Do not climb onto the pump or connecting pipe work Maintain a clean environment around the pump The VERDER pump is manufactured from cast iron and therefore the flanges and casings etc may have sharp edges slipping or falling against the pump may cause serious injury Wear safety clothing hats gloves boots etc when operating or working on the pump or in its immediate vicinity 10 VERDERFLEX 2 6 Maintenance Safety DANGER Always isolate the power supply before working on the pump ene Always follow the safety procedures for handling the product being pumped If the hose has ruptured the lubricant may be contaminated with product care must be taken to handle the mixture appropriately Do not stand near the pump while the hose is
