1Introduction
This manual provides installation instructions for replacing the flexible coupling insert for the drive coupling on the
ATEX variants of the E1M / E2M / 40 / 80 / 175 / 275.
Read this manual before you replace the coupling insert. Important safety information is highlighted as WARNING
instructions; you must obey these instructions. The use of WARNINGS is defined below.
Cautions are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in damage to the equipment, associated
equipment and process.
2 Replacing the flexible coupling insert
Use the following procedure to replace the flexible coupling insert:
1. Ensure that the pump is isolated from the electrical supply.
2. Refer to Figure 1 and 2. Undo the screws that secure one of the side panels to the oil box and then remove the
side panel.
3. Undo the screws securing the other side panel to the oil box and then remove the side panel.
If you are replacing a flexible coupling insert on an E1M40/80 or E2M40/80 then continue at Step 4. If you are
replacing a flexible coupling insert on an E1M175/275 or E2M175/275 then continue at Step 12.
4. Refer to Figure 1. With the motor supported, undo and remove the four bolts (1) securing the motor mounting
plate (6) to the oil box. Crane away the motor from the adaptor.
5. Remove the retaining ring (4) and the coupling insert (5) together from the hub.
6. Separate the coupling insert (5) from the retaining ring (4) and dispose of the insert. Refer to Section 2 for
disposal instructions.
7. Fit the new coupling insert to the inside of the retaining ring (4), ensuring that the reference lines of the outside
of the retaining ring are aligned to grooves on the outside of the coupling insert.
8. Re-fit the retaining ring and coupling insert together to the coupling hub on the pump shaft.
Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could result in injury or death to
people.
Ensure the position of the coupling hubs are not moved as this may prevent the correct assembly
of the coupling insert. Failure to do so could result in failure of the drive coupling leading to a risk
of an ignition of any potentially flammable atmosphere.
Ensure the use of the correct lifting techniques and equipment.
