RECYCLING
Many components of MARATHON ®
Metallic AODD pumps are made of
recyclable materials (see chart on
page 11 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
c o m p r e s s e d a i r l i n e ,
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 36)
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.

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.
