Engine Driven Water Pumps; Additional Specific Safety Rules - Evolution DWP1000 Manual Del Proprietário

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ENGINE DRIVEN WATER PUMPS

a. Petrol or diesel powered engines must
never be used in unventilated closed
spaces. The exhaust fumes produced
are highly toxic and can cause 'Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning' which will cause
drowsiness and ultimately death. It is only
permissible to run a petrol engine indoors
if the building can be very well ventilated
and the exhaust fumes can be captured and
ducted to the outside through an exhaust
extraction/scavenger system
b. The Engine/Water Pump should be
positioned on a firm level surface. The
wheels should be locked, so that the engine
cannot move during operation.
c. The engine should not be run at speeds
that exceed the maximum speed on
the rating plate. Operating an engine at
excessive speeds increases the likelihood of
component failure and consequent accidents.
d. Do not tamper with components that
regulate the engines speed. You may alter
the factory set running parameters.
e. Use only the type of fuel listed in the
Evo-System Evo200 Engine Instruction
Manual. Using fuel with an octane rating
less than that specified can lead to excessive
engine wear and premature engine failure.
f. Keep the area around the engine clear,
clean and tidy. Never allow any combustible
material (timber, plastic, cardboard, canvas
etc) near a running engine.
g. Do not use in or near to potentially
explosive atmospheres. Dust laden
atmospheres as can be found in some
industrial buildings (Flour Mills, Timber Mills)
have an explosive potential.
h. Regularly check the fuel system for
leaks. Hoses and unions should be
checked for deterioration or chafing.
Check the fuel tank for damage or for a
poorly fitting or worn fuel cap. Any defects
must be rectified before the engine is used.
i. Always stop the engine and allow it
to cool down before refuelling. Try to
avoid any fuel spillage (often caused by
'overfilling' the tank) and clean up any spilt
fuel immediately. The application of dry sand
is an effective way of neutralising fuel spills.
j. Do not allow the engine to run out
of fuel. Surging of the engine as it uses
the last of the fuel could cause damage to
connected equipment.
k. When transporting the engine in a
vehicle ensure that the fuel tap is turned
off. To minimise the risk of fuel spillage the
engine should be secured by ropes etc to the
load area of the vehicle so that it cannot move
during transportation. The engine should be
secured in as level an attitude as possible.
l. For long term storage we recommend
that the fuel system of the engine is
drained. During long term storage additives
in modern fuels can precipitate from the fuel
and block jets and valves in the fuel system.
m. Store the machine in a secure and well
ventilated area. Unauthorised personnel
should not have access to this machine.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

a. Position the pump carefully and ensure
that it cannot move during operation.
It may be desirable to chock the wheels in
addition to applying the wheel brake.
b. Keep the immediate area around the
pump clear. Ensure that no combustible
materials can come into contact with the
engine.
c. Always fit an inlet strainer to the inlet
hose. This will prevent large stones or other
debris from being drawn up into the pump
body and causing damage.
d. Keep the inlet filter clean. During
operation the inlet filter could become
blocked, restricting water flow and
imposing additional strain on the engine.
e. Position the water discharge (outlet
pipe) well away from the pump. Keep the
pump and the engine as dry as possible.
f. Do not use this equipment to pump
petrol (or any other flammable liquids)
or other corrosive liquids. This pump is
designed to pump Water Only.
g. Never run the pump dry. Always fill the
pump (prime) with water before starting.
h. Never direct the discharged water
towards electrical equipment or wiring.
Water can severely damage electrical
equipment can potentially pose a serious
fire hazard.
i. Always use at least 300mm of flexible
hose to couple any rigid piping to the
pump. Coupling rigid piping directly to the
pump can impose stresses and strains
