SANDPIPER RS20 Metallic - Manual (Page 2)

Recycling
Warren Rupp is committed to protecting the environment and preventing pollution
for the benefit of our employees, as well as local and global communities, now
and in the future.
Many components of SANDPIPER® Metallic AODD pumps are made of recy-
clable materials (see chart on page 32 for material specifications). We encourage
pump users to recycle worn out parts and pumps whenever possible. Follow all
applicable guidelines if hazardous material has been pumped.
When used for toxic or
aggressive fluids, the pump
should always be flushed
clean prior to disassembly.
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
Before installation and
start-up of the pump read
these safety warnings and
instructions in this manual
completely. 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 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 30)
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 during
operation. Always make
certain that all bolts are in
good condition and that
all of the correct bolts are
reinstalled during assembly. Do not open when
an explosive atmosphere may be present.
WARNING
Airborne particles and loud
noise hazards.
Wear ear and eye protection.
WARNING
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 at all times in the vicinity of the
pump. Failure to follow these recommendations
may result in serious injury or death.
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
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking
per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them
for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential effects of
EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous
substances. The WEEE marking applies only to countries within the European
Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are labeled in accordance with European
Directive 2002/96/EC. Contact your local waste recovery agency for a
designated collection facility in your area.
None of the equipment supplied within the AirVantage unit either use
of exceed the amounts stated above hazardous substances. A signed
declaration from our supplier of the electronic/electrical portion of the
AirVantage unit will be held on file stating their adherence to the RoHS,
2002/95/EC regulation. Substitution of
components may impair
intrinsic safety.
WARNING
Cautions - Read Operating and Safety Precautions First
The enclosure is non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level
of electrostatic charges under certain extreme conditions. The user should
ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be sub-
jected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam) which might cause
a build-up of electrostatic charges on non-conducting surfaces. Additionally,
cleaning of the equipment should be done only with a damp cloth.”
CAUTION
P u m p n o t d e s i g n e d ,
tested or certified to be
powered by compressed
natural gas. Powering the
pump with natural gas will void the warranty.
Use safe practices
when lifting
