RECYCLING
Many components of Metallic AODD
pumps are made of recyclable materials
(see chart on page 10 for material
specifications). We encourage pump
users to recycle worn out parts and
pumps whenever possible, after any
hazardous pumped fluids are thoroughly
flushed.
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.
WARNING
Before pump operation,
inspect all gasketed
fasteners for looseness
caused by gasket creep.
Re-torque loose fasteners
to prevent leakage. Follow recommended
torques stated in this manual.
CAUTION
When used for toxic or
aggressive fluids, the pump
should always be flushed
clean prior to disassembly.
WARNING
Before maintenance or
repair, shut off the com-
pressed 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
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. (See page 28)
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Read these safety warnings
and instructions in this
manual completely, before
installation and start-up
of the pump. 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.
WARNING
Airborne particles and loud
noise hazards.
Wear ear and eye protection.
Before doing any main-
tenance on the pump, be
certain all pressure is
completely vented from the
pump, suction, discharge,
piping, and all other openings and connections.
Be certain the air supply is locked out or made
non-operational, so that it cannot be started while
work is being done on the pump. Be certain that
approved eye protection and protective clothing
are worn all times in the vicinity of the pump.
Failure to follow these recommendations may
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING
In the event of diaphragm
rupture, pumped material
may enter the air end of the
pump, and be discharged
into the atmosphere. If
pumping a product which is hazardous or toxic,
the air exhaust must be piped to an appropriate
area for safe disposition.
