8 of 64 UPA, UPZ, BSX
▪Never operate the pump without the fluid handled.
▪Never operate the motor without fill liquid.
▪Observe the minimum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product literature
(to prevent overheating, bearing damage, etc).
▪Observe the maximum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product
literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage, cavitation damage,
bearing damage, etc).
▪Do not throttle the flow rate on the suction side of the pump (to prevent
cavitation damage).
▪Do not let the motor run in the wrong direction of rotation for more than two
minutes.
▪Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.
Prevention of foreseeable misuse
▪Never open discharge-side shut-off elements further than permitted.
–The maximum flow rate specified in the data sheet or product literature
would be exceeded.
– Risk of cavitation damage
