Technical-Production Characteristics; Handling And Storage - EBARA EVMS Manual De Instrucciones De Empleo Y Mantenimiento

Do not touch the pump when the liquid handled is hot
water. Burns may result from high temperatures.
Do not touch the motor. The motor's surfaces will be
hot, and you could get burned if you touch them.
Do not touch the rotating parts such as the spindle,
shaft couplings, V-pulleys, etc. while the pump is run-
ning. Since these parts rotate at high speed, doing so
could result in injury.
Do not touch the live parts when the power is on. There
is a risk of electric shock.
4.2 IMPORTANT PROTECTIONS AND CAUTIONS
All products are designed with guards over their moving
parts. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in the
event of damages caused by the removal of said protections.
Each conductor or powered part is electrically insulated with
regards to earth. Extra security is also added by connecting
the accessible conducting parts to an earth conductor. This
ensures that accessible parts cannot become dangerous
should the main insulation become faulty.
4.3 RESIDUAL RISKS FOR SURFACE PUMPS
Residual risks include the following:
a) The possibility of coming into contact (even if not accidentally) with the motor's
cooling fan by inserting thin objects (e.g. screwdrivers, sticks and similar)
through the fan cover holes.

5. HANDLING AND STORAGE

5.1 HANDLING
Apply established accident prevention regulations Crushing
hazard. The product may be heavy; use proper lifting
equipment and work apparel.
The following must be done when moving or dismantling the motor pump:
a) disconnect the electric supply;
b) remove the delivery and suction pipes (where present) if too long or bulky;
c) if present, unscrew the screws that secure the motor-driven pump to its
supporting surface;
d) lift the motor-driven pump using equipment suitable to the pump weight and
dimensions (refer to the plate).
The product is packed horizontally:
- or in a cardboard box, with handles on request. If its weight and size demand it,
it will be packed on a wooden pallet,
- or in a wooden case for some models.
Handling the electric pump
To move the pump from its horizontal packed position, simply attach a suitable
strap securely to the base of motor and lift it slowly with a hoist while checking that
the load remains balanced.
WARNING!
Check that the product is properly secured to the motor
and that it cannot tip over or fall.
Handling the pump alone
Follow the same procedure as for the electric pump; in this case, the strap must
be attached to the motor mount.
5.2 STORAGE
a) The product must be stored in a covered and dry place, far away from heat
sources and protected against dirt and vibrations.
b) Protect the product against damp conditions, heat sources and mechanical
damage.
c) Do not place heavy objects on the packaging.
d) The product must be stored at an ambient temperature between +5°C and
+40°C (41°F – 104°F) with a relative humidity of 60%.

6. TECHNICAL-PRODUCTION CHARACTERISTICS

6.1 DESCRIPTION
Your product is a vertical multi-stage non-self-priming pump designed for coupling
to standard electric motors. The abbreviations EVMS identify a wide range of ver-
tical multi-stage pumps with in-line ports, sized for ten nominal flow rates (EVMS
1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 32, 45, 64 and 90 m³/h), and a various number of stages, de-
signed to satisfy the most varied requirements for pressure; they are available ei-
ther as an electric pump (pump and motor) or pump alone.
For the product code identifying see technical appendix.
If you have purchased a pump without motor, make sure your motor is
suited to coupling with the pump.
6.2 USE FOR WHICH PUMPS ARE DESIGNED
The pump is designed for:
- civil and industrial water distribution systems
- washing systems
- water treatment
- fire systems
- cooling systems
- pressurisation systems
- irrigation systems
6.2.1 USE OF DRINKING WATER
If the product is constructed with materials suited for pumping drinking water,
Before being used, the pump must be run with clean water at its nominal flow rate
for the time indicated in the following table:
EVMS1 60 minutes (minimum)
EVMS3 60 minutes (minimum)
EVMS5 30 minutes (minimum)
EVMS10 30 minutes (minimum)
EVMS15 15 minutes (minimum)
EVMS20 15 minutes (minimum)
EVMS32 15 minutes (minimum)
EVMS45 15 minutes (minimum)
EVMS64 15 minutes (minimum)
EVMS90 15 minutes (minimum)
6.3 USE FOR WHICH PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED
Improper use of the pump is hazardous and can result in
personal injury and damage to property
WARNING!
Improper use of the product may void the warranty
The pumps may not be used for:
- dirty water
- highly acidic water
- corrosive fluids
- water at temperatures higher than indicated in "TECHNICAL DATA"
- sea water
- flammable/explosive fluids
- fluids incompatible with the pump's materials
- installation outdoors without protection against atmospheric agents
- dry running
