If the conditions of service on your purchase order are going to be changed (for example liquid pumped, temperature or duty), it is requested that the user seek the manufacturer’s written agreement before start-up. Personnel qualification and training All personnel involved in the operation, installation, inspection, and maintenance of the unit must be qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel in question do not already possess the necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction must be provided. If required, the operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide applicable training. Always coordinate repair activity with operations and health and safety personnel, and follow all plant safety requirements and applicable safety and health laws and regulations. SAFETY ACTION - This is a summary of conditions and actions to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the environment and to equipment. WEIR MINERALS WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THE POTENTIAL HAZARD CAUSED BY THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS WHEN THE INTAKE AND DISCHARGE ARE BLOCKED. EXTREME HEAT IS GENERATED AND RESULTS IN VAPORISATION OF THE ENTRAPPED LIQUID. THIS CAN RESULT IN A LIFE THREATENING EXPLOSION IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES OF CONTINUED OPERATION. The operation of centrifugal pumps on slurry applications can increase this potential hazard due to the nature of the material being pumped. The additional hazard believed to be presented by slurry applications stem from the possibility of solids blocking the pump intake and / or discharge and remaining undetected. Blockage of the pump discharge has been known in some instances to lead to the intake side of the pump also becoming blocked with solids. The continued operation of the pump under these circumstances can be extremely dangerous. If you have an installation that may be prone to this occurrence, Weir recommends that you adopt measures to prevent any blockage situation.

The WARMAN® CENTRIFUGAL SLURRY PUMP is a piece of ROTATING EQUIPMENT which CONTAINS PRESSURE under service conditions. All standard safety precautions for such equipment should be followed before and during installation, operation, and maintenance. Welding of worn or holed coverplate or frameplate pressure containing casing components is not recommended as incorrect or inappropriate repair procedures could lead to catastrophic failure and slurry blow-out at lower than recommended maximum pressures.

For AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT (motors, belt drives, couplings, gear reducers, variable speed drives, mechanical seals etc.), standard safety precautions should be followed and appropriate instruction manuals consulted before and during installation, operation, adjustment and maintenance. DO NOT OPERATE THE PUMP AT LOW OR ZERO FLOW CONDITIONS, OR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD CAUSE THE PUMPING LIQUID TO VAPORISE. Slurry pumps should not be operated at flows less than 25% of the best efficiency point flow for a given pump speed for more than three (3) minutes. Personnel injury and equipment damage could result from the high temperature and pressures created if the pumping liquid vaporises. DO NOT APPLY HEAT TO THE IMPELLER BOSS OR NOSE IN AN EFFORT TO LOOSEN THE IMPELLER THREAD PRIOR TO IMPELLER REMOVAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD HEAT BE USED TO EXPAND OR CUT AN IMPELLER FROM THE SHAFT. Personal injury and damage to equipment could occur as a result of an explosion or the impeller shattering. A shaft wrench has been provided to assist impeller removal. In some cases, an impeller release collar has also been provided to assist impeller removal.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PUMP without properly installed seal, v-belt and coupling guards in place. If guards are removed during maintenance or gland adjustment, they must be replaced prior to operating the pump. Seal guards should not be removed or opened whilst the pump is running. Personal injury may result from contact with rotating parts, seal leakage or spray from the rotating shaft.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PUMP if solids have settled and the rotating element can not be turned by hand. THERMAL SHOCK. Do not feed very hot liquid into a cold pump or very cold liquid into a hot pump. Thermal shock may cause damage to the internal components and rupture the pump casing.

DRIVER ROTATION MUST BE CHECKED before belts or couplings are connected. The correct pump rotation is indicated by an arrow on the pump casing. Do not touch rotating members with your hand to establish the direction of rotation. Always check the direction of the pump shaft and not the gearbox input shaft which normally rotates in the opposite direction and will be the wrong direction for the pump.

DO NOT START A PUMP that is rotating in reverse, such as the backward rotation caused by slurry runback. Personal injury and damage to equipment could result.

ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION. Some equipment such as gear reducers, motors, and oil lubricated pump bearing assemblies are shipped without lubricating oil. Be certain that oil of the proper grade is filled to the proper level in each piece of equipment before start-up. DO NOT rely on bearing housing end cover or labyrinth greasing to provide adequate grease to the bearings. The bearings SHOULD ALWAYS BE RELUBRICATED ACCORDING to the recommendations.

NEVER CARY OUT MAINTENANCE WORK WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER. The pump must be fully isolated before any maintenance work, inspection or troubleshooting involving work on sections which are potentially pressurised (eg casing, gland, connected pipework) or involving work on the mechanical drive system (eg shaft, bearing assembly, coupling). Power to the electric motor must be isolated and tagged out. It must be proven that the intake and discharge openings are totally isolated from all potentially pressurised connections and that they are, and can only be exposed to atmospheric pressure.

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP. The appropriate safety precautions should be taken where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

HANDLING COMPONENTS Worn pump components can have sharp or jagged edges. Caution must be taken in handling worn parts to prevent damage to slings or personal injury. To lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane appropriate for the mass and in accordance with current local regulations.

HANDLING COMPONENTS • Tapped holes (for eyebolts) and cast-on lugs (for shackles) on WARMAN® parts are for lifting INDIVIDUAL PARTS ONLY. One exception is the lifting lug on the coverplate which can be used to lift the coverplate with the throatbush, volute and / or elastomer liner fitted. • Lifting devices of adequate capacity must be used whenever they are required. • Safe workshop practices must be applied during all assembly and maintenance work. • Personnel must never work under suspended loads.

DO NOT APPLY HEAT, INCLUDING ATTEMPTS ON WELDING OR HARD FACE COATING, TO WARMAN METAL WEAR RESISTANT COMPONENTS. This can cause cracks, residual stresses, and changes the fracture toughness of the parent material. This may lead to catastrophic failure and could result in personal injury and equipment damage even when operating within recommended speed and pressure limits.

For pumps fitted with MECHANICAL SEALS always follow the appropriate instruction manuals and always remove the mechanical seal setting tabs prior to starting the pump. Failure to remove the setting tabs will results in damage to both the pump and the seal. CASTINGS made from Weir Minerals materials listed below are brittle and have low thermal shock resistance. Attempts to repair or rebuild by welding may cause catastrophic failure. Repairs of such castings using these methods must not be attempted - A03, A04, A05, A06, A07, A701, A08, A09, A12, A14, A49, A51, A52, A53, A61, A210, A211, A217, A218, A509. ENSURE THAT THE IMPELLER IS TIGHT ON THE SHAFT before any start-up, ie all components on the shaft between the impeller and the pump end bearing must butt metal to metal against each other without any gap. Note that gaps may form when the pump experiences duty conditions conducive to unscrewing of the impeller, such as excessive runback, high intake pressure, motor braking etc.

AVOID COMTAMINATION • BURNING of elastomer pump components will cause emission of toxic fumes and result in air

pollution which could lead to personnel injury. • LEAKAGE exceeding the specified packing lubrication requirements from the pump shaft seals

and/or leakage from worn pump components or seals may cause water and/or soil contamination. • LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL from servicing of pumps or stagnant water from pumps stored for long

periods, may cause water and/or soil contamination.

DO NOT APPLY ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUNDS to the impeller or shaft threads or to elastomer seals during assembly. Anti-seize can greatly reduce the impeller thread friction and may cause the impeller to loosen more easily during pump shut-down and run-back resulting in pump damage, or the elastomer seals to leak at reduced pressure.

MIXING OF NEW AND WORN PUMP COMPONENTS may increase the incidence of premature pump wear and leakage. All METAL MATING FACES MUST BE CLEANED of dirt, rust, paint and other adhering substances prior to pump assembly. Failure to clean parts can affect pump assembly and running clearances and could lead to catastrophic failure of parts.

Large FOREIGN OBJECTS OR TRAMP entering a pump will increase the incidence of higher wear and / or damage to the pump. Routine inspection and maintenance of mill trommel screens will assist to reduce the danger of grinding balls entering a mill discharge pump.

Large VARIATIONS IN SLURRY PROPERTIES may lead to accelerated rates of wear and corrosion of pump components eg • Wear increases exponentially with velocity and slurry particle size. • Corrosion rate doubles for every 10 degree Celsius increase in slurry temperature. • Corrosion rate increases exponentially as slurry pH decreases.
