DANGER !
Before opening any Viking pump liquid chamber
(pumping chamber, reservoir, relief valve adjusting
cap fitting etc.) , or drive equipment be sure:
1. That any pressure in the chamber has been
completely vented through the suction or
discharge lines or other appropriate openings or
connections.
2. That the driving means (motor, turbine, engine,
etc.) has been “locked out” or made non-
operational so that it cannot be started while work
is being done on pump.
3. That you know what liquid the pump has been
handling or in the reducer and the precautions
necessary to safely handle the liquid. Obtain a
material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the liquid to
be sure these precautions are understood.
4.Before starting unit or reducer, be sure all drive
equipment guards are in place.
Failure to follow above listed precautionary mea-
sures may result in serious injury or death.
