ƽ

ƽ
CAUTION

GENERAL INFORMATION
ƽ
DANGER
To prevent explosive hazard, do not
pump combustible liquids or
gases, or operate the pump in an
atmosphere containing them. Use
only in a well ventilated area.
ƽ
CAUTION Required ambient temperature is
-10 F to 150 F. For operation at
temperatures outside this range,
consult the factory.
Performance is reduced by lower atmospheric
pressure at high altitudes. Consult a Gast dis-
tributor for details. Never lubricate this oil-less
pump. The sealed bearings are grease-packed.
The service life of the diaphragm and valve will be
reduced by petroleum or hydrocarbon products.
INSTALLATION
ƽ
WARNING Beware of any exposed movable
parts. Proper guards should be in
place to prevent severe personal
injury.
ƽ
CAUTION
Do not block the flow of cooling air
over the pump in any way.
MOUNTING
To reduce noise and vibration use shock mounts
or a vibration-isolated mounting surface. Do not
block the flow of cooling air over the unit in any
way.
PLUMBING
To prevent air flow restriction, use pipes and
fittings of the same size or larger than the barbed
ports. Note that the ports are not designed to
support plumbing.
