4 Installation c) Check that the inside rim of the hose has no sharp edges. 5. Mount the outer thread fitting: a) Apply Teflon to the threads. See the following figure. Teflon b) Mount the outer thread fitting over the cable. c) Fasten the outer thread fitting at the pump.
4 Installation 1. Steel hose 2. Gasket 3. Outer thread fitting a) Mount a gasket on top of the outer thread fitting. b) Mount the steel hose over the cable. c) Tighten the union nut onto the outer thread fitting. 4.4.5 Connect the motor cable to the pump NOTICE: Leakage into the electrical parts can cause damaged equipment or a blown fuse.
4 Installation DANGER: Explosion/Fire Hazard Special rules apply to installations in explosive or flammable atmospheres. Do not install the product or any auxiliary equipment in an explosive zone unless it is rated explosion-proof or intrinsically-safe. If the product is rated explosion- proof or intrinsically-safe, then see the specific explosion-proof information in the safety chapter before taking any further actions.
