We hope that the information in these pages will prove helpful in resolving operational problems with pumps in the field. Some important points which have a bearing on safe pump operation are listed below :-1. Never lift a submersible pump by its cable; always use a rope or chain attached to the handle. 2. Never use standard water pumps to handle oil, salt water, petrol, diesel fuel or organic solvents. 3. Never use standard pumps in hazardous areas, or in the presence or explosive of flammable materials. 4. Before starting an engine pump always check that there is oil in the sump, fuel in the tank and water in the pump. 5. Note that all electric pumps for site use should have a minimum of 10m of HO7 rubber cable fitted. 6. Standard submersible pumps should not be used in water temperatures outside 0°C -40°C Range. |
