1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to
prevent injury to personnel and damage to the
environment and to equipment. For products
used in potentially explosive atmospheres
section 1.6.4 also applies.
NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK
WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER
GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL
DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE
PIPEWORK BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.
FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoroelastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.
HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.
THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should
be avoided.
NEVER APPLYHEAT TO REMOVE
IMPELLER
Trapped lubricantor vapour could cause an
explosion.
HOT (and cold) PARTS
If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating
supplies can present a danger to operators and
persons entering the immediate area action must be
taken to avoid accidental contact. If complete
protection is not possible, the machine access must
be limited to maintenance staff only, with clear visual
warnings and indicators to those entering the
immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be
insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.
If the temperature is greater than 68 °C (175 °F)
or below 5 °C (20 °F) in a restricted zone, or
exceeds local regulations, action as above shall
be taken.

HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
Whenthe pumpishandling hazardousliquids care
mustbetakentoavoidexposure to the liquid by
appropriatesittingof the pump,limiting personnel
access andbyoperator training.If the liquid is
flammable and/or explosive, strict safetyprocedures
mustbeapplied.
Gland packing must not be used when pumping
hazardous liquids.
PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not
mount expansion joints, unless allowed by
Flowserve in writing, so that their force, due to
internal pressure, acts on the pump flange.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION
(See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation
and shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET
VALVE PART OPENED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
User Instructions.)
This is recommended to minimize the risk of
overloading and damaging the pump motor at full or
zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve
further open only on installations where this situation
cannot occur. Pump outlet valve shall may need to
be adjusted to comply with the duty following the
run-up process. (See section 5, Commissioning
start-up, operation and shutdown.)
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY
1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Measures are required to:
Avoid excess temperature.
Prevent build up of explosive mixtures.
Prevent the generation of sparks.
Prevent leakages.
Maintain the pump to avoid hazard.
Thefollowing instructions for pumpsand pumpunits

Maximum surfacetemperature (Temperature Class)
(see section 1.6.4.3)
1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperatures
ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE
CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE
Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the
ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based
on a maximum ambient of 40 °C (104 °F); refer to
Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.
The responsibility for compliance with the
specified maximum liquid temperature is with the
plant operator.
Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the
liquid temperature varies and the pump could be
installed in different hazardous atmospheres. In this
case the user is responsible for ensuring that the
pump surface temperature does not exceed that
permitted in the particular hazardous atmosphere.
If an explosive atmosphere exists during the
installation, do not attempt to check the direction of
rotation by starting the pump unfilled. Even a short
run time may give a high temperature resulting from
contact between rotating and stationary
components. Furthermore, confinement of liquid in
the pump and pipes must be avoided (valve closed).
If the liquid heats up this may cause excessive
pressure and lead to bursting of pump components.
Where there is any risk of the pump being run against
a closed valve generating high liquid and casing
externalsurface temperaturesit is recommended that
users fit an external surface temperature protection
device.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a
power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring
checks.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.
1.6.4.4 Preventing the build up of explosive
mixtures
The surface temperature on the pump is influenced
by the temperature of the liquid handled. The
maximum permissible liquid temperature depends
on the temperature class and must not exceed the
values in the table that follows.
The temperature rise at the seals, bearings and due
to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into
account in the temperatures stated.

ENSURE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED AND
VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY.
Ensure pump and relevant suction and discharge
pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times
during the pump operation, so that an explosive
atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to
make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal
systems and any heating and cooling systems are
properly filled.
If the operation of the system cannot avoid this
condition the fitting of an appropriate dry run
protection device is recommended (eg liquid
detection or power monitor).
To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapour or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area
must be well ventilated.
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark the ground contact on the
baseplate must be used.
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-
metallic surfaces with a dry cloth, ensure cloth is
damp.
The coupling must be selected to comply with
94/9/EC and correct alignment must be maintained.
Additional requirements for metallic pumps on
non-metallic baseplates
When metallic components are fitted on a nonmetallic baseplate they must be individually earthed.
1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage
The pump must only be used to handle liquids
for which it has been approved to have the correct
corrosion resistance.
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)
1.7 Safety labels summary
1.7.1 Nameplate
For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of
Conformity, or separate documentation included with
these User Instructions.
1.7.2 Warning labels
Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pumpand associated
piping duetoclosingof suction anddischarge valves,
which couldcause dangerous excessive pressures to
occur if there is heat input to theliquid.This canoccur
ifthepump is stationary or running.
Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing
must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump
and ancillary systems.
Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a
seal barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be
monitored.
If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a
hazard, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.
1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard
CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED
TO AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION
Theresponsibilityforcompliancewith
maintenance instructions is withtheplant
operator.
Oil lubricated units only:
1.8 Specific machine performance
For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. When the contract requirement specifies
these to be incorporated into User Instructions these
are included here. Where performance data has
been supplied separately to the purchaser these
should be obtained and retained with these User
Instructions if required.
To avoid potential explosion hazards during
maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting
materials used must not give rise to sparking or
adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there
is a risk from such tools or materials; maintenance
must be conducted in a safe area.
Page 8 of 35
FP USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71576286 - 07/06
1.9 Noise level
When pump noise level exceeds 85dBAattention
must be given to prevailing Health and Safety
Legislation, to limit the exposure of plant operating
personnel to the noise.The usual approach is to
control exposure time to the noise or to enclose the
machine to reduce emitted sound. You may have
already specified a limiting noise level when the
equipment was ordered, however if no noise
requirements were defined then machines above a
certain power level will exceed 85 dB(A). In such
situations consideration must be given to the fitting
of an acoustic enclosure to meetlocal regulations.
Pump noise level is dependent on a number of
factors- the type of motor fitted, the operating
capacity, pipework design and acoustic
characteristics of the building. Typical sound
pressure levels measured in dB and A-weighted are
shown in the table below.
The figures are indicative only, they are subject to a
+3 dB tolerance, and cannot be guaranteed.
The values are based on the noisiest ungeared
electric motors which are likely to be encountered.
They are LpAsound pressure levels at 1m (3.3ft)
from the directly driven pump, for "free field over a
reflecting plane". For estimating LwAsound power
level (re 1 pW) add 14 dB(A) to the sound pressure
value.
If a pump only has been purchased, for fitting with
your own driver, then the "pump only" noise levels
from the table should be combined with the level for
the driver obtained from the supplier. If the motor is
driven by an inverter, it may show an increase in
noise level at some speeds. Consult a Noise
Specialist for this calculation
For units driven by equipment other than
electric motors or units contained within enclosures,
see the accompanying information sheets and
manuals.

that when the level of the sound pressure is:
Below 70 dBA :It is not necessary to take
special precautions.
Above 70 dBA :People working continuously in
the machine room must be
supplied with protective devices
against noise.
Below 85 dBA :No particular measures need to
be taken for casual visitors
staying in the room during a
limited period.
Above 85 dBA :The room must be considered as a
dangerous area because of the
noise and a warning sign must be
fixed at each entry warning the
people coming into the room, even
for a short period, that they must
wear hearing protection.
Above 105 dBA:Special hearing protection adapted
to this noise level and to the
spectral noise components must
be installed and a warning sign to
this effect erected at each entry.
The staff in the room must wear
ear protection.
Make sure that the noise, which travels through the
walls and windows, does not generate too high
noise levels in the machine room's surroundings.
2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery and shipping
documents for its completeness and that there has
been no damage in transportation.
Any shortage and or damage must be reported
immediately to Flowserve Pump Division and
received in writing within one month of receipt of the
equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes and wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to
sidewalls of the box or equipment.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check
that this number corresponds with that advised and
always quote this number in correspondence as well
as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.
2.2 Handling
2.2.1 General instructions concerning handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using forklift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction. See 2.3.1 for positioning of
slings.
To lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb), use a winch
adapted to the mass and in accordance with the
current local regulations.
To lift machines or pieces with one or several
suspension rings, only use hooks and chains in
compliance with the local regulations concerning
safety. Never put cables, chains or ropes directly on
or in the suspension rings. Cables, chains or lifting
ropes must never present excessive bending.
Never bend the lifting hooks, suspension rings,
chains, etc., which should only be made to endure
stresses within, calculated limits. Remember that the
capacity of a lifting device decreases when the
direction of the lifting force direction makes an angle
with the device axis.
To increase the safety and the efficiency of the lifting
device, all the lifting elements must be as
perpendicular as possible. If necessary a lifting
beam can be placed between the winch and the
load.
When heavy pieces are lifted up, never stay or work
under the load or in the area, which could be in the
path of the load if it were to swing or fall away.
Never leave a load hanging from a winch. The
acceleration or the slowing-down of lifting equipment
must stay in the safety limits for the staff. A winch
must be positioned in such a way that the load will
be raised perpendicularly. Where possible
necessary precautions must be taken to avoid the
swing of the load, using for example two winches
making approximately the same angle, below 30°,
with the vertical.

2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry
location away from vibration. Leave piping
connection covers in place to keep dirt and other
foreign material out of pump casing. Turn pump at
intervals to prevent brinelling of the bearings and the
seal faces, if fitted, from sticking.
Do not store pumps starting on the fan guard.
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and local regulations. If the
product contains substances which are harmful to
the environment, these should be removed and
disposed of in accordance with current regulations.
This also includes the liquids and or gases in the
"seal system" or other utilities.
Bareshaft pump
When handling always wear gloves, safety
boots and an industrial safety helmet.
Make sure that hazardous substances or toxic
fluid are disposed of safely and that the correct

specifications must be in accordance with the
current regulations at all times.
3 PUMP DESCRIPTION
3.1 Configurations
The multi-stagecentrifugal pump is designed for the
pumping of cold water or all clear liquids which are
not solid and liquid mixtures, non-corrosive, nonabrasive or non-explosive when in contact with the
pump motor unit and its working parts (Important: for
other liquids consult FLOWSERVE for beforehand
advice).
The FP type pump is a centrifugal, multi-stage,
single suction and radial joint plan pump.
The modular design (2 hydraulics by pump type,
number of stages variation) enables an accurate
pump adjustment to the required operating
conditions.
It can be driven by electric motor, steam turbine, or
petrol or diesel motor.
For masses above 25 kg (55lb), manual
handling is forbidden.
The pump must be stored in a non-explosive,
ventilated location, sheltered from bad weather, dust
and vibrations.
