EXPLOSION PREVENTION
!
In order to reduce the possibility of accidental explosions in atmospheres containing explosive gases and/or dust, the
instructions under the ATEX symbol must be closely followed. ATEX certification is a specification enforced in
Europe for non-electrical and electrical equipment installed in Europe. The usefulness of the ATEX requirements is
not limited to Europe. They are useful guidelines for equipment installed in any potentially explosive environment.
!
NOTE: When pumping unit is installed in a potentially explosive atmosphere, the instructions after the Ex symbol
must be followed. Personal injury and/or equipment damage may occur if these instructions are not followed. If
there is any question regarding these requirements or if the equipment is to be modified, please contact a Goulds
representative before proceeding.
