at the outlet of the pump. In case, e.g., of a diaphragm
failure, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces
or static electricity may ignite these mixtures. Use inert

chemicals. Take into consideration that chemicals may
be contaminated. Take adequate precautions to pro-
tect people from the effects of dangerous substances
(chemicals, thermal decomposition products of fluoro-
elastomers). Use appropriate protective clothing and
safety goggles.
+
Interruption of the pump (e.g., due to power failure),
failure of connected components or of parts of the sup-
ply, or change in parameters must not be allowed to
lead to dangerous conditions. In case of a diaphragm
failure or in case of a leak in the manifold, pumped
substances might be released into the environment or
into the pump housing or motor.
Comply with all notes regarding proper use of the
pumps, as well as operation and maintenance guid-
