Magnum Venus Plastech APS FIT-C-APS-3 - Manual (Page 12)

Correct packing or valve seal leaks IMMEDIATELY.
Frequently check the condition of all pressurized components, especailly fluid lines. Replace worn lines and
parts before they fail.
If nozzle clogging occurs frequently, use a fluid filter with proper mesh size.
PUMPING SYSTEM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use MVP replacement parts to assure compatible pressure rating. Read ALL warning and safety
instructions carefully before operation of this unit. Heed all warnings.
WARNING
Never allow any part of the human body to come in front of, or in direct contact with, the material outlet.
Accidental operation of the pump could cause an injection into the flesh. If injection occurs, medical aid
must be immediately obtained from a physician.
Component Rupture: This unit is capable of producing high fluid pressure as stated on the pump model
plate. To avoid component rupture, and possible injury, do not exceed 75 cycles per minute or operate at an
air inlet pressure greater than 150 PSI (10 bar).
Servicing: Before servicing, cleaning or removing any component, ALWAYS disconnect or shut off power
source and carefully relieve all fluid pressure from the system.
CAUTION: When pumping, flushing or recirculating volatile solvents, the area must be adequately
ventilated.
CAUTION: Materials and solvent being pumped must be compatible with the parts of the pump that
becomes wetted when in contact with material or solvent. Wetted parts consist of the following: stainless
steel, copper, brass, steel, gray iron, leather, teflon and vellumoid.
CAUTION: Keep solvents away from heat, sparks and open flames. Keep containers closed when not in
use.
Prevent Static Sparking: If static sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. The pump, dispensing
valve, and containers must be grounded when handling flammable fluids shuch as solvents, paints,
lacquers, etc., and wherever discharge of static electricity is a hazard.
Use grounded hoses (static wire) and be sure the object being serviced is grounded if it can produce a static
charge.
Continuity (a good static wire connection) of a hose can be checked by using an ohmmeter. Place one
prove on one hose fitting and the other probe on the other hose fitting, continuity or proper grounding
through hose is good when a reading is obtained on the ohmmeter.
Air and Lube Requirements: Excessive air pressure will shorten the life of the pump. Do not operate pump
above recommended maximum air pressure. If necessary, an air regulator should be installed to maintain
the desired pressure when the pump is in operation.
