HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE
INJECTION HAZARD
WARNING
EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause perĆ
sonal injury, pump damage or property damage.
D Do not exceed the maximum inlet air pressure as stated on the
pump model plate.
D Be sure material hoses and other components are able to
withstand fluid pressures developed by this pump. Check all
hoses for damage or wear. Be certain dispensing device is
clean and in proper working condition.
WARNING
STATIC SPARK. Can cause explosion resulting
in severe injury or death. Ground pump and pumping system.
D Sparks can ignite flammable material and vapors.
D The pumping system and object being sprayed must be
grounded when it is pumping, flushing, recirculating or
spraying flammable materials such as paints, solvents, lacĆ
quers, etc. or used in a location where surrounding atmoĆ
sphere is conducive to spontaneous combustion. Ground the
dispensing valve or device, containers, hoses and any object
to which material is being pumped.
D Use the pump grounding lug provided on metallic pumps for
connection of a ground wire to a good earth ground source.
Use Aro Part No. 66885Ć1 Ground Kit or a suitable Ground wire
(12 ga. / 2.6 mm Dia.)
D Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid
vibration and generation of contact or static spark.
D Consult local building codes and electrical codes for specific
grounding requirements.
D After grounding, periodically verify continuity of electrical
path to ground. Test with an ohmmeter from each component
(e.g., hoses, pump, clamps, container, spray gun, etc.) to
ground to insure continuity. Ohmmeter should show 100
ohms or less.
D Submerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or device in
the material being dispensed if possible. (Avoid free streamĆ
ing of material being dispensed.)
D Use hoses incorporating a static wire.
D Use proper ventilation.
D Keep inflammables away from heat, open flames and sparks.
D Keep containers closed when not in use.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Can result in serious
injury or property damage. Do not service or clean pump,
hoses or dispensing valve while the system is pressurized.
D Disconnect air supply line and relieve pressure from the sysĆ
tem by opening dispensing valve or device and / or carefully
and slowly loosening and removing outlet hose or piping
from pump.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD. Any material injected into
flesh can cause severe injury or death. If an injection occurs
immediately contact a doctor.
D Do not grab front end of dispensing device.
D Do not aim dispensing device at anyone or any part of the
body.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Can cause serious
injury or property damage. Do not attempt to return a pump to
the factory or service center that contains hazardous material.
Safe handling practices must comply with local and national
laws and safety code requirements.
D Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials from the
supplier for proper handling instructions.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Models containing aluĆ
minum wetted parts cannot be used with III.ĆTrichloroethane,
Methylene Chloride or other Halogenated Hydrocarbon solĆ
vents which may react and explode.
D Check pump motor section, fluid caps, manifolds and all
wetted parts to assure compatibility before using with solĆ
vents of this type.
CAUTION
Verify the chemical compatibility of the pump
wetted parts and the substance being pumped, flushed or reĆ
circulated. Chemical compatibility may change with temperaĆ
ture and concentration of the chemical(s) within the
substances being pumped, flushed or circulated. Consult
ARO Form No. 8677ĆP, Fluid Compatibility Guide, for informaĆ
tion on chemical compatibility.
CAUTION Maximum temperatures are based on mechaniĆ
cal stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly reduce
maximum safe operating temperature. Consult Fluid CompatĆ
ibility Guide for chemical compatibility and temperature limĆ
its.
CAUTION Be certain all operators of this equipment have
been trained for safe working practices, understand it's limitaĆ
tions, and wear safety goggles / equipment when required.
CAUTION Do not use the pump for thestructuralsupportof
the piping system. Be certain the system components are
properly supported to prevent stress on the pump parts.
D Suction and discharge connections should be flexible conĆ
nections (such as hose), not rigid piped, and should be comĆ
patible with the substance being pumped.
CAUTION
Prevent unnecessary damage to the pump. Do
not allow pump to operate when out of material for long periĆ
ods of time.
D Disconnect air line from pump when system sits idle for long
periods of time.
