completely covers the shafts and coupling.

10. Use a nut, a bolt, and two washers to secure the coupling guard halves together.

WARNING:
Never operate the pump without the coupling guard correctly installed.

Bearing lubrication

WARNING:
Pumps are shipped without oil. Oil-lubricated anti-friction bearings must be lubricated at the job site.

These bearing lubrication sections list different pumped-fluid temperatures. If your pump is
ATEX certified and your pumped-fluid temperature exceeds the permitted temperature values,
then consult your ITT representative.
