CAUTION
Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. Running a mechani-
cal seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal damage and must be avoided.
Physical injury can occur if mechanical seal fails.
WARNING
Never attempt to replace packing until the driver is properly locked out and the coupling
spacer is removed.
WARNING
Dynamic seals are not allowed in an ATEX classified environment.
WARNING
DO NOT operate pump below minimum rated flows or with suction and/or discharge
valve closed. These conditions may create an explosive hazard due to vaporization of
pumpage and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical injury
WARNING
Ensure pump is isolated from system and pressure is relieved before disassembling
pump, removing plugs, opening vent or drain valves, or disconnecting piping.
WARNING
Shutdown, Disassembly, and Reassembly:
Pump components can be heavy. Proper methods of lifting must be employed to avoid
physical injury and/or equipment damage. Steel toed shoes must be worn at all times.
WARNING
The pump may handle hazardous and/or toxic fluids. Observe proper decontamination
procedures. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn. Precautions must be
taken to prevent physical injury. Pumpage must be handled and disposed of in conform-
ance with applicable environmental regulations.
WARNING
Operator must be aware of pumpage and safety precautions to prevent physical injury.
WARNING
Lock out driver power to prevent accidental startup and physical injury.
CAUTION
Allow all system and pump components to cool before handling them to prevent physi-
cal injury.
CAUTION
If pump is a Model NM3171, NM3196, 3198, 3298, V3298, SP3298, 4150, 4550, or
3107, there may be a risk of static electric discharge from plastic parts that are not prop-
erly grounded. If pumped fluid is non-conductive, pump should be drained and flushed
with a conductive fluid under conditions that will not allow for a spark to be released to
the atmosphere.
WARNING
Never apply heat to remove an impeller. The use of heat may cause an explosion due to
trapped fluid, resulting in severe physical injury and property damage.
CAUTION
Wear heavy work gloves when handling impellers as sharp edges may cause physical
injury.
CAUTION
Wear insulated gloves when using a bearing heater. Bearings will get hot and can cause
physical injury.
1.5 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use
Special care must be taken in potentially explosive environments to ensure that the equipment is proper-
ly maintained. This includes but is not limited to:
1.
Monitoring the pump frame and liquid end temperature.
2.
Maintaining proper bearing lubrication.
3.
Ensuring that the pump is operated in the intended hydraulic range.
The ATEX conformance is only applicable when the pump unit is operated within its intended use. Oper-
ating, installing or maintaining the pump unit in any way that is not covered in the Instruction, Operation,
and Maintenance manual (IOM) can cause serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. This
