Operating and Safety Information
EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause personal injury, pump damage, or property damage.
●
Do not exceed the maximum inlet air pressure as stated on the pump.
●
Be sure material hoses and other components are able to withstand fluid pressures developed by this pump. Check all hoses for damage or wear.
Be certain dispensing device is clean and in proper working condition.
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Pumping low flash point fluids can cause personal injury, pump damage, or property damage.
STATIC SPARK. Can cause explosion resulting in severe injury or death. Ground pump and pumping system.
●
Groundable Acetal pumps: Use the pump ground lug provided. Connect to a 12 ga. (minimum) wire (kit is included) to a good earth ground source
(see page 4 for details).
●
Sparks can ignite flammable material and vapors.
●
The pumping system and object being sprayed must be grounded when it is pumping, flushing, recirculating or spraying flammable materials such
as paints, solvents, lacquers, etc. or used in a location where surrounding atmosphere is conductive to spontaneous combustion. Ground the
dispensing valve or device, containers, hoses and any object to which material is being pumped.
●
Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid vibration and generation of contact or static spark.
●
Consult local building codes and electrical codes for specific grounding requirements.
●
After grounding, periodically verify continuity of electrical path to ground. Test with an ohmmeter from each component (e.g., hoses, pump, clamps,
container, spray gun, etc.) to ground to insure continuity. Ohmmeter should show 0.1 ohms or less.
●
Submerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or device in the material being dispensed if possible. (Avoid free streaming of material being
dispensed.)
●
Use hoses incorporating a static wire.
●
Use proper ventilation.
●
Keep inflammables away from heat, open flames and sparks.
●
Keep containers closed when not in use.
PUMP EXHAUST MAY CONTAIN CONTAMINANTS. Can cause severe injury. Pipe exhaust away from work area and personnel.
●
In the event of a diaphragm rupture, material can be forced out of the air exhaust muffler.
●
Pipe the exhaust to a safe remote location when pumping hazardous or flammable materials.
●
Use a grounded 3/8" minimum i.d. hose between the pump and the muffler.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Can result in serious injury or property damage. Do not service or clean pump, hoses or dispensing
valve while the system is pressurized.
●
Disconnect air supply line and relieve pressure from the system by opening dispensing valve or device and / or carefully and slowly loosening and
removing outlet hose or piping from pump.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Can cause serious injury or property damage. Do not attempt to return a pump to the factory or service
center that contains hazardous material. Safe handling practices must comply with local and national laws and safety code requirements.
●
Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials from the supplier for proper handling instructions.
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Models containing aluminum parts cannot be used with 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride or other
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents which may react and explode.
●
Check air drive section, fluid caps, manifolds and all wetted parts to assure compatibility before using with solvents of this type.
Verify the chemical compatibility of the pump wetted parts and the substance being pumped, flushed or recirculated. Chemical
compatibility may change with temperature and concentration of the chemical(s) within the substances being pumped, flushed or circulated. For specific
fluid compatibility, consult the chemical manufacturer.
Maximum temperatures are based on mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly reduce maximum safe operating
temperature. Consult the chemical manufacturer for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
Be certain all operators of this equipment have been trained for safe working practices, understand it's limitations, and wear safety
goggles / equipment when required.
Do not use the pump for the structural support of the piping system. Be certain the system components are properly supported to
prevent stress on the pump parts. Suction and discharge connections should be flexible connections (such as hose), not rigid piped, and should be
compatible with the substance being pumped.
Prevent unnecessary damage to the pump. Do not allow pump to operate when out of material for long periods of time.
●
Disconnect air line from pump when system sits idle for long periods of time.
