Warnings; Useful Advice; Functional Description Of The Equipment - Sagola DM 1/300 Manual De Instrucciones

- Before putting the unit into operation, we recommend
that you clean the equipment as this has been subjected
to functional tests and before packaging it is treated
internally with a protective coating, some of which may
still remain.
Apply solvent to eliminate this. Remove any residual
grease applied during assembly.
- The unit is supplied depressurised (without pressure
inside).
- Before starting up and especially after each cleaning
and/or
repair procedure, you must check that the components of
the unit are perfectly tightened and that the hoses are
technically suited to the features of the equipment and the
work to be carried out, in addition to being flexible and
sealed (without leaks). Faulty parts must be replaced or
repaired as appropriate.
- Check that the unit's safety devices work properly before
using it.
- The unit is easy to handle thanks to its design and the
simplicity of its mechanisms. Use it according to the
operating, maintenance and safety instructions indicated
in this manual and follow the application methods indica-
ted to obtain the required finish quality.
- Use SAGOLA anti-static hoses suited to the product to
be transferred.
- You must always connect the equipment and all the
elements involved in the work process to a grounding
connection to eliminate static electricity. Regularly verify
(one a week) its electrical continuity. If its resistance
exceeds the recommended limits, it must be fixed. An
equipment unit without or with a faulty grounding connec-
tion may make the installation dangerous.
- The total derivative resistance must be <1M ohms (Ω).
- Protect the silencer filter (Diagram 3 DM01/400 Nº 69),
so that in the event that it becomes damaged or product
leaks occur through it, problems do not occur.
- Read and carefully apply all the information, instructions
and safety measures given by the manufacturer of the
products to be used (products to be applied, solvents,
etc.), as chemical reactions, fire and/or explosions may
occur. These may be toxic, irritant or noxious and in any
event are dangerous for the health and wellbeing of the
- SAGOLA recommends the installation of some sort of
SAGOLA air treatment equipment in the general

7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

The DM BASIC Aluminium, DM BASIC 300 and DM
BASIC Abrasives pumps, as well as the DM 01/300 and
DM 01/400 equipment units serve the purpose of apply
the products that are suitable diluted and usually used in
the construction, automotive, wood, plastics and other
industries.
The product to be applied is poured into the gravity tank
of the equipment (DM01/300 and DM01/400 versions), it
is kept in the same container it was supplied in by the
manufacturer (optional version of the equipment with
absorption probe) or it is connected directly to the product

5. WARNINGS

user and the personnel around him (See section on
Health and Safety).
- Ensure that the products to be applied are chemically
compatible with the components of the equipment they
come into contact with (polyamide, stainless steel, steel,
brass, aluminium, polypropylene, PTFE, fluoroelastomer,
polyacetal, NBR).
- Do not use corrosive or abrasive products with the
standard versions of the equipment.
- Mix, prepare and filter the product to be applied in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that
no foreign particles ruin the quality of the finish and
application. Should there be any doubt on the purity of the
product, its composition, etc., please contact your
supplier.
- Control the viscosity of the product to be applied by
means of SAGOLA Viscosity Kit Code 56418001.
- The exit speed of the product to be transferred is deter-
mined depending on the air pressure, the product viscosi-
ty and the diameter of the hose to be used.
- Insofar as possible, cover the containers of product to be
transferred to prevent its contamination.
- Do not use the hoses to move the equipment by
dragging it. Keep the hoses away from moving parts and
heated surfaces. Do not place them in contact with
products that may affect them and do not expose them to
temperatures greater than 65ºC or less than –20ºC.
- Insofar as possible, keep the container of the product to
be transferred fixed and inserted into it, the product return
tubing (probe) (Nº 9 in diagram 1).
The unit has been designed for a long service life and can
be used with most of the usual products on the market. Its
use with highly aggressive products will quickly increase
the need for maintenance and spare parts. If you need to
apply special products, please contact SAGOLA S.A.
- If the equipment is going to remain for a long time
running empty, disconnect it from the general air network.

From the tank it is fed by gravity into the equipment unit.
From the manufacturer's container, with the equipment
