Blagdon Pump B10 Non-Metallic - Manual (Page 2)

SAFETY
Your B10 pump is a high performance unit
capable of achieving
high outputs at high
efficiencies. However, as is common with
pneumatic equipment, the pump efficiencies is
reliant upon the air being clean, dry and filtered.
Failure to comply with these requirements may
lead to loss of performance and reduced
component life and in extreme cases, permanent
damage to the pump.
To avoid leaks, ensure that all fluid connections
are tight. The use of PTFE thread tape correctly
applied should be used to ensure 100% leakproof
connections.
Failure to ensure 100% sealability of the
suction connection could adversely affect
suction performance.
If you are pumping hazardous fluids, or operating
the pump in an enclosed area, it is essential that
the exhaust from the pump is piped away to a
safe location. When pumping hazardous fluids
the above instructions must be adhered to in
order to ensure safe operating procedures.
(Under certain operating conditions the failure of
internal components can lead to the pumped fluid
being exhausted via the pump exhaust outlet).
WARNING
NEVER place your hands over or near the
pump suction inlet. Powerful suction could
cause serious bodily injury.
FLUSH THE PUMP
This pump was
tested with clean water. If this solution could
contaminate or react with the fluid you are
pumping, flush the pump thoroughly with a
solvent/detergent to clean internal components.
The solvent/detergent must be compatible with
the pump materials of construction. Care should
be taken to flush the pump each time it is
disassembled for maintenance or repair.
CAUTION Ensure that only the
recommended grade of lubricating oil is used.
BLAGDON PUMPS do not require any dedicated
lubrication system, however a periodical
application of an SAE 10 lubricating oil will help to
prolong seal life. Other grades of oil may cause
the Air Logic System to operate intermittently,
thereby causing a loss of output and failure to
operate.
If the pump accelerates or is running too fast due
to a lack of fluid, then stop it immediately by
shutting off the air supply. A dry pump will
accelerate to a high speed causing wear to
elastomers.
If the fluid you are pumping tends to dry up or set
when it is not moving, then flush the pump as
often as necessary to prevent the fluid from
drying in the pump. Drain the pump thoroughly
before storing. If feasible, invert pump to allow
any fluid to drain from the non-return valves
.
When used for toxic or aggressive fluids,
the pump should always be flushed clean
prior to disassembly.
WARNING!
Take action to prevent static sparking. Fire
or explosion can result, especially when
handling flammable liquids. The pump,
piping, valves, containers or other miscellaneous
equipment must be grounded.
WARNING!
Before maintenance or repair, shut off the
compressed air line, bleed the pressure,
and disconnect the air line from the pump.
The discharge line may be pressurized and must be bled
of its pressure.
WARNING!
This pump is pressurized internally with air
pressure during operation. Always make
certain that all bolting is in good condition
and that all of the correct bolting is reinstalled during
assembly.
IMPORTANT!
Read these instructions completely, before
installation and start-up. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser to retain this
manual for reference. Failure to comply with the
recommendations stated in this manual will damage the
pump, and void factory warranty.
IMPORTANT!
