Danger!

approved by SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH in accordance with

amount of lubricant must be removed.
Make sure there is no potentially explosive
atmosphere when doing this.
monitor must be supplied by an intrinsi-
cally safe circuit, e.g., through the installa-
by the customer.
The unit must be grounded via a ground
connection. The customer must install ad-
equate overload protection for the power
consumption of the motor.
To avoid electrostatic discharge, lay
hydraulic connecting lines in corrosion-
resistant metal tubing, e.g., stainless steel
pipe.
When setting up the pump, make sure the
setup location is level and not subject to
vibrations or jolts.
During maintenance work, use only tools
intended for use in potentially explosive
spaces or else make certain that there is
no potentially explosive atmosphere
present.
The service life of the oil lubrication pump
is limited. It must therefore undergo a
function and leak test at regular intervals.
Perform appropriate repairs in the event
of malfunctions, leaks, or rust. Replace the
pump if necessary.
The user must make sure through the
choice of the lubricant to be delivered that
no chemical reactions capable of serving
as ignition sources will occur in conjunc-
tion with the explosive atmospheres
expected.
The lubricant’s ignition temperature must
be at least 50 kelvin above the pump’s
maximum surface temperature (tempera-
ture class).
Depending on the model design, the product
may be available in an explosion-proof design.
