Introduction and Safety
Magnetic precautions
WARNING:
Magnetic drive pumps contain very strong magnets that can pose health risks. Always observe these
guidelines:
• Avoid working with, being in proximity of, or handling the magnets contained in this pump if you have
any of these conditions:
• An artificial cardiac pacemaker
• An implanted defibrillator
• A metallic prosthetic heart valve
• Internal wound clips, from surgery
• Prosthetic joints
• Metallic wiring
• Any other type of metallic, prosthetic device
• Individuals who have had any surgery, especially to the chest or head, and do not know if metallic
clips were surgically implanted need to avoid work on this unit unless their physician can confirm that
no metallic devices exist.

Safety regulations for Ex-approved products in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Guidelines for compliance
Compliance is only fulfilled when the pump is operated within its intended use, for example
within its intended hydraulic range. The conditions of the service must not be changed without
approval of an authorized ITT representative. When installing or maintaining explosion-proof
pumps, follow these guidelines:
• Always install ATEX-approved equipment in compliance with the directive and applicable
standards (IEC/EN 60079–14).
WARNING:
This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be
adhered to. Trapped liquid can rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion and injury. Never apply
heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining devices to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in this
manual.
If there are any questions regarding these requirements, the intended use, or if the equipment
requires modification, contact an ITT representative before you proceed.
Personnel requirements
ITT disclaims all responsibility for work done by untrained and unauthorized personnel.
These are the personnel requirements for Ex-approved products in potentially explosive
atmospheres:
• All work on the product must be carried out by certified electricians and ITT-authorized
mechanics. Special rules apply to installations in explosive atmospheres.
• All users must know about the risks of electric current and the chemical and physical
characteristics of the gas and/or vapor present in hazardous areas.
