PREPARATION FOR STARTUP
!
Service temperature in an ATEX classified
environment is
limited to the area classification
specified on the ATEX tag affixed to the pump
(reference Table 1 in the Safety section for ATEX
classifications).
!
Ensure that pump and systems are free of foreign
objects before operating and that objects cannot
enter the pump during operation. Foreign objects in
the pumpage or piping system can cause blockage of
flow which can result in excess heat generation,
sparks and premature failure.
!
Cooling systems such as those for bearing
lubrication, mechanical seal systems, etc, where
provided, must be operating properly to prevent
excess heat generation, sparks, and premature
failure.
!
When installing in a potentially explosive
environment, ensure that the motor is properly
certified.
CHECKING ROTATION
$
CAUTION
Serious damage may result if pump is run in the wrong
rotation.
1. Lock out power to driver.
s
! WARNING
Lock out driver power to prevent accidental start-up
and physical injury.
2. Make sure coupling hubs are securely fastened to the
shafts and the coupling spacer has been removed.
NOTE: Pump is shipped with coupling spacer
removed.
3. Unlock driver power.
4. Make sure everyone is clear. Jog driver just long enough
to determine direction of rotation. Rotation must
correspond to arrow on bearing housing.
5. Lock out power to driver.
COUPLE PUMP AND DRIVER
s
! WARNING
Lock out driver power to prevent accidental rotation
and physical injury.
!
The coupling used in an ATEX classified
environment must be properly certified.
1. Install and lubricate coupling per manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Install coupling guard.
!
The coupling guard used in an ATEX classified
environment must be constructed from a
non-sparking material.
s
! WARNING
Never operate a pump without coupling guard properly
installed. Personal injury will occur if pump is run
without coupling guard.
