Explosion hazard. Failure to comply may cause severe or even fatal
injuries.
All work, e.g. transportation, storage, installation, connection,
commissioning, servicing and maintenance must be performed in a
non-explosive atmosphere.
Always check to ensure that an ATEX pump assembly is suitably rated
for the hazardous zone area in which it is to be used, including ATEX,
Ex and any other hazardous area legislation for the country in which it
is being installed. Exd motors should only be installed by Exd qualified
personnel.
Primary operator protection from rotating parts of the pump is
provided by the pumphead guard. Note that pumphead guards differ,
depending on the type of pumphead.
There are moving parts inside the pumphead. Before opening the
pumphead guard, ensure that the following safety directions are
followed:
1.
Ensure that any motor drive connected to the pumphead is
isolated from any electrical or compressed air supply.
2.
Ensure that there is no pressure in the pipeline
3.
If a tube failure has occurred, ensure that any fluid in the
pumphead has been allowed to drain to a suitable vessel,
container or drain
4.
Ensure the pumphead is isolated from the fluid supply
5.
Ensure that appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is
