• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the pump.
• Do not open any vent or drain valve or remove any plugs while the system is pressurized.
Make sure that the pump is isolated from the system and that pressure is relieved before
you disassemble the pump, remove plugs, or disconnect piping.
• Never operate a pump without a properly installed coupling guard.
• Always bear in mind the risk of drowning, electrical accidents, and burn injuries.
• Never heat the condition monitor to temperatures in excess of 300°F (149°C).
• Never expose the condition monitor to open flames.
• Do not use the condition monitor in atmospheres containing acetic acid.
• Always wear protective gloves. The pump and condition monitor can be hot.

Safety regulations for Ex-approved products in potentially
explosive atmospheres
Description of ATEX
The ATEX directives are a specification enforced in Europe for electrical and non-electrical
equipment. ATEX deals with the control of potentially explosive atmospheres and the
standards of equipment and protective systems used within these atmospheres. The relevance
of the ATEX requirements is not limited to Europe. You can apply these guidelines to
equipment installed in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
Guidelines for compliance
Compliance is only fulfilled when the pump is operated within its intended use, for example
within its intended hydraulic range. The conditions of the service must not be changed without
approval of an authorized ITT representative. When installing or maintaining explosion-proof
pumps, follow these guidelines:
• Always install ATEX-approved equipment in compliance with the directive and applicable
standards (IEC/EN 60079–14).
• Do not install explosion proof products in locations that are classified as hazardous in the
national electric code, ANSI/NFPA 70–2005.
WARNING:
Risk of serious personal injury. Applying heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining devices
can cause trapped liquid to rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion. This manual clearly
identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to.
Never apply heat to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in this manual.
If there are any questions regarding these requirements, the intended use, or if the equipment
requires modification, contact an ITT representative before you proceed.
Personnel requirements
ITT disclaims all responsibility for work done by untrained and unauthorized personnel.
