Watson-Marlow SPS 600 - Manual (Page 9)

Revision 4.1 / March 2014 9
5.11 Maintenance / Repair
• The Filling of the pump is only permitted outside the explosion aria. Tools that are used should in compliance with ATEX.
• The pump aggregate always needs to be kept clean of dust with a damp cloth to prevent the dust from smouldering.
• The rinsing channels in the power frame must always be checked for blockages and if necessary cleaned.
5.12 Cleaning
Caution! No solvent cleaning agents may be used to clean the pump as this could create an uncontrollable explosive atmosphere.
5.13 Medium to be pumped
Chemicals that are combustible below the temperature 120 degrees Celsius and Carbon disulphide must not be pumped.
5.14 Coupling
If the pump is used in an explosion-risk area, the pump must only be coupled to the drive by means of an elastic, positive coupling with
ATEX certification, at least corresponding to the supplied pump. Chains, toothed belts, v-belts or similar equipment which may transmit
radial forces on the bearings should not be used.
5.15 Drive
Any preceding reduction gears and/or control units must have the corresponding ATEX certification, at least corresponding to the
supplied pump. Combustion engines must never be used!
For operation with a frequency converter, this must either be installed outside the ex-zone, or have the same ATEX certification
corresponding to the delivered pump. In any case the converter must have the properties required for operation in ex-zones, for
example, temperature monitoring, speed limitation, etc.

7 Transport instructions
The choice of the means of transport is according to the size of the pump and of the drive. The pump must be suspended correctly for
transport. The crane/forklift truck and the ropes/belts must be sufficiently dimensioned. If the pump is transported with a lift truck or a
forklift truck, it must be noted that the console centre point is not automatically the centre of gravity.
