RECYCLING
Many components of MARATHON ®
AODD pumps are made of recyclable
materials (see chart on page 9 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,
i n s p e c t a l l g a s k e t e d
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
B e f o r e m a i n t e n a n c e
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
WARNING
Airborne particles and
loud noise hazards.

B e f o r e d o i n g a n y
maintenance 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
