Hazard / Issue
These roller pumps were assembled with pump shafts that may fail at the location of the thread where a locknut is installed. The failure is associated with a noise that is atypical of roller pump operation. The noise is caused when an unsecured shaft end contacts the rotating pulley of the roller pump. Prolonged use of a roller pump in this condition could lead to an eventual pump stop, resulting in the inability to create pump flow due to pulley loosening and drive belt damage.
