on people and/or the environment. Components coming into
contact with leakage must be corrosion resistant or suitably pro-
tected.
EXPLOSION PROTECTION – This means that failure to observe
these instructions will involve the risk of explosion in potentially
explosive environments which can cause harm to persons and / or
considerable damage to property.
Plant regulations concerning work safety, accident prevention and pol-

This mechanical seal has been designed and built to seal rotating
equipment. Damages resulting from use in other applications are the
responsibility of the user.
Failure, recovery or fluctuation in power supply to the machine
and/or supply system may not expose persons or environment to
dangerous situations or harm the functionality of the mechanical
seal.
Guards that are provided by the equipment manufacturer have
to be in accordance with plant regulations, but should not create
additional danger. These guards have to ensure proper access to
the working area required for maintenance to the mechanical seal.
The electricity supply of the equipment must be in accordance
with directive 2006/95/EC. When machinery is powered by a
source of energy other than electricity this may not cause danger-
ous situations for persons and environment.
See the directive 94/9/EC, 999/92/EC and EN 3463-5.
Failure to meet these requirements will result in excessive leakage and/
or shortened seal life.
