READ THESE WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAU-
TIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR OPERATION.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
Pump, valves and all containers
must be properly grounded prior to handling
flammable fluids and/or whenever static electricity
is a hazard.
WARNING
Prior to servicing the pump,
ensure that the air and fluid lines are closed and
disconnected. While wearing personal protective
equipment, flush, drain and process liquid from the
pump in a safe manner.
CAUTION
Do not connect a compressed air
source to the exhaust port of the pump.
CAUTION
Ensure that the muffler is properly
installed prior to pump operation.
CAUTION
Do not lubricate air supply.
CAUTION
When selecting pump materials, be
aware of the following temperature limitations:
Buna-N (Nitrile): 10°F to 180°F (-12C to 82C)
Geolast ® : 10°F to 180°F (-12C to 82C)
EPDM: -40°F to 280°F (-40C to 138C)
Santoprene ® : -40°F to 225°F (-40C to 107C)
Viton ® (FKM): -40°F to 350°F (-40C to 177C)
PTFE: 40°F to 220°F (4C to 104C)
Polyethylene: 32°F to 158°F (0C to 70C)
Polypropylene: 32°F to 180°F (0C to 82C)
PVDF: 0°F to 250°F (-18C to 181C)
Nylon: 0°F to 200°F (-18C to 93C)
Temperature limits are solely based upon
mechanical stress and certain chemicals will reduce
the maximum operating temperature. Consult a
chemical resistance guide for chemical compatibility
and a more precise safe temperature limit. Always
use minimum air pressure when pumping at elevated
temperatures.
CAUTIONS — READ FIRST!
WARNING
CAUTION
= Hazards or unsafe practices
which could result in severe
personal injury, death or
substantial property damage
= Hazards or unsafe practices
which could result in minor
personal injury, product or
property damage.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 120 psig (8.3 bar)
air-inlet pressure.
CAUTION
Ensure all wetted components are
chemically compatible with the process fluid and the
cleaning fluid.
CAUTION
Ensure pump is thoroughly cleaned
and flushed prior to installation into a process line.
CAUTION
Always wear Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) when operating pump.
CAUTION
Close and disconnect all
compressed air and bleed all air from the pump
prior to service. Remove all process fluid in a safe
manner prior to service.
CAUTION
Blow out all compressed air
lines in order to remove any debris, prior to
pump installation.
CAUTION
Ensure air exhaust is piped to
atmosphere prior to a submerged installation.
CAUTION
Ensure all hardware is set to
correct torque values prior to operation.
