General – tools and facilities
1 Care should be taken at all times to ensure that any tools are used safely for the purpose for which they are designed and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Ideally the pump should be installed using a drive, with facilities to inch the pump along and which is able to operate in reverse. Any maintenance work will require a complete set of metric spanners, a socket set and torque wrench; you should check your fastener kit to ensure you have all the correct sizes available.
2 Lifting equipment will be required for several of the procedures. The lifting equipment to be used should be checked for suitability for the task and capable of lifting the combined weight of the pump components. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation of lifting equipment.

Operational Sa fety WARNINGS
LETHAL VOLTAGES. Dangerous voltages exist in this equipment. Always isolate the power
supply before working on the pump.
SAFE TY HAZ ARD. Never place hands or other parts of the body inside or near an y part of the pump when it is in operation or when the power is not totall y isolated.
SAFETY HAZARD. When the pump is running, you should not touch the pump and should maintain an adequate safe distance around it.
SAFETY HAZARD. Do not climb onto the pump or connecting pipe work.
SAFETY HAZARD. Maintain a clean environment around the pump. The Verder pump is
manufactured from c ast iron, and therefore the flanges and casings etc may have sharp edges ­slipping or falling against the pump may cause serious injury.
Wear appropriate Personel Protection Equipment (PPE) when operating on or work ing near the pump.
Assembly and Preparation Assembly 3 The Verderflex® Dura can be supplied built or as a bareshaft pump. Preparation 4 Prepare the workspace in which the pump is to be worked on, ensuring there is a clean and level work surface with
sufficient room for not only the pump, but also to allow you sufficient access to the pump and fit pipe work, etc. 5 Carefully open the packaging and check for completeness by ensuring all the parts listed are present; remove all the
loose components and set them out on a workbench. It is recommended that the fastener kit is sorted into piles of like items and kept in a safe place to avoid losing parts or using an incorrect part.
Chap 2 Issue 3:0
Page 2.1 Feb 12
6 If the pump casing or any parts are found to be damaged, the wrong type, specification or are missing; then you should record the appropriate serial number from the casing identification plate and/or the quality check seal on the packaging, and inform Verder Ltd.
7 The power supply and control panel should be pre-installed. If the pump is to be operated remotely, a separate control panel with STOP and START functions should be installed near the pump (but at least 3 metres/9 feet distance from the pump).
8 Pipe work should:
8.1 Be as short and direct as possible.
8.2 Be oversized relative to the hose bore of the pump (min. 150%)
8.3 Be aligned correctly, free from stress and securely anchored.
8.4 Include a short, removable section adjacent to the port flanges to allow easy access when changing hoses, ideally this should be a flexible hose able to withstand the system pressure.
8.5 Include suction and discharge valves (if a discharge valve is fitted, a high pressure safety device will be required to prevent excess pressure build up when the pump is running with the discharge valve is closed).
8.6 Include drainage taps to allow safe removal of product, and a minimum number of long radius elbows where a
change of direction is necessary. Commissioning 9 Check all fasteners are tightened to the required settings (refer to chap 4). Before connecting any pipe work to the pump
carryout the following:
9.1 Run the pump dry for 10-20 re volutions in both directions to ensure that the hose is properl y secured. 10 Connect the pipe work and torque-tighten all fasteners to the required settings. 11 Close all drainage taps and open all valv es. 12 Run the pump for 10-20 revolutions; check for any leaks. 13 Test the pump for leaks at operating pressure and correct fl ow rate. Carry out re-adjustments as necessary. Operation 14 The pump should only be used for the purpose it was sold. For normal continuous operation of each Dura pump;
speeds should NOT exceed t he speeds stated in Table 1 unless expressively advised by your Verder distributor.
