   o Check seals and gaskets to prevent leaks.

5. Handling and Transportation
   o Use appropriate lifting equipment to handle heavy pumps safely.
   o Avoid dropping or striking the pump to prevent damage to the motor and casing.

6. Environmental Precautions
   o Prevent contamination by ensuring the pump and installation comply with environmental regulations.

7. Emergency Preparedness
   o Familiarize operators with shutdown procedures in case of malfunction or power failure.
   o Keep fire extinguishers and first aid kits accessible in the work area.
