2.6 Markings and Approvals
It is a legal requirement that machinery and equipment put into service within certain regions of the world
must conform to the applicable marking directives and standards such as CE marking directives covering
machinery and, where applicable, low-voltage equipment, EMC, PED, and ATEX.
Where applicable, the directives and any additional approvals cover important workplace health and safety
aspects relating to machinery and equipment and the satisfactory provision of technical documents and
workplace health and safety instructions.
To confirm the applying approvals, and if the product is CE marked, check the serial number plate markings
and the certification.
2.7 Safety Equipment for the Pump
Do not operate the pump without properly installed seal and coupling guards in place. If guards are removed
during maintenance or gland adjustment, they must be replaced prior to operating the pump.
For auxiliary equipment, standard workplace health and safety precautions must be followed and appropriate
instruction manuals consulted before and during installation, operation, adjustment, and maintenance.
2.8 Fire Fighting
A number of possible emissions or leakage of hazardous substances may be possible depending on the
product being pumped. Ensure you are familiar with site and local procedures and requirements.
2.9 Emergency Procedures
Ensure you are familiar with site and local procedures and requirements. If there is an emergency, follow site
and local procedures.
WARNING
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Prior to installing any equipment, determine the hazardous area classification and any
other requirements applicable to the specific location and confirm all equipment has the
required certifications.
WARNING
ROTATING PARTS
Personnel injury or illness may result from contact with rotating parts, seal leakage or spray
from the rotating shaft.
WARNING
GLAND ADJUSTMENT
During gland seal adjustment the fixed guard needs to be removed while the pump is
operational. When the guard is removed, the rotating shaft is exposed. Additional safety
management measures must be implemented to manage this specific hazard and only
suitable trained and qualified personnel must work on gland adjustment. The guard must
be replaced when adjustment is complete.
