Ensure proper housekeeping to eliminate dust buildup on
the pump. Certain dusts may ignite at pump surface tem-
perature limits, as noted on page PTL-1 / PTL-2.
Maximum temperatures are based on mechanical stress
only. Certain chemicals will signifi cantly reduce maximum
safe operating temperature. Consult the chemical manu-
facturer for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
Pump exhaust may contain contaminants. Can
WARNING
cause severe injury. Pipe exhaust away from work area and per-
sonnel.
Pipe the exhaust to a safe remote location when pumping
hazardous or fl ammable materials.
In the event of a diaphragm rupture material can be forced
out of the air exhaust muffl er.
Use a grounded hose between the the pump and the muf-
fl er. (Refer to minimum size under Installation).
When pumping hazardous or fl ammable materials, 1/4" dia-
phragm pumps must be placed in a containment area or ves-
sel. The vessel must be vented to a safe remote location.
LEAKING FLUIDS. Can cause explosion hazards.
WARNING
Creep of housing and gasket materials can cause fasteners
to loosen, resulting in leakage of fl ammable liquids and
create potentially explosive atmospheres.
Re-torque all fasteners before operation. Re-torque all fas-
teners and pipe fi ttings to insure against fl uid leakage.
Pump damage caused by improper mounting or piping
stress and external damage can result in fl uid leakage.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Can result in serious
WARNING
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.
EXCESSIVE MATERIAL PRESSURE. Thermal ex-
WARNING
pansion will occur when fl uid in material lines is exposed
to elevated temperatures and will cause a system rupture.
Install a pressure relief valve in the pumping system.
INJECTION HAZARD. Any material injected into
WARNING
fl esh can cause severe injury or death. If an injection occurs
immediately contact a doctor.
GENERAL INFORMATION / AIR OPERATED DIAPHRAGM PUMPS
Do not grab front end of dispensing device.
Do not aim dispensing device at anyone or any part of the body.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Can cause serious in-
WARNING
jury 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.
MISAPPLICATION HAZARD. Do not use mod-
WARNING
els containing aluminum wetted parts with food products
for human consumption. Plated parts can contain trace
amounts of lead.
Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials from
the supplier for proper handling instructions.
Protect the pump from external damage and
CAUTION
do not use the pump for the structural support of the pip-
ing system. Be certain the system components are properly
supported to prevent stress on the pump parts.
Secure the diaphragm pump legs to a suitable surface to
insure against damage by excess vibration.
Suction and discharge connections should be fl exible con-
nections (such as hose), not rigid piped, and should be
compatible with the substance being pumped.
Prevent unnecessary damage to the pump. Do
CAUTION
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.
Verify the chemical compatibility of the pump
CAUTION
wetted parts and the substance being pumped, fl ushed
or recirculated. Chemical compatibility may change with
temperature and concentration of the chemical(s) within
the substances being pumped, fl ushed or circulated. For
specifi c fl uid compatibility, consult the chemical manufac-
turer.
Be certain all operators of this equipment have
CAUTION
been trained for safe working practices, understand it's
limitations, and wear safety goggles / equipment when re-
quired.
