Additional Equipment

Additional equipment such as a Power Monitor, Temperature probe and a Flow meter should be fitted at all times when
using a pump in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The pump / unit must also be "Earth Grounded" at all times. A pump
should never be "Run Dry" especially in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres.



General Usage Precautions

1) The pump must be "Earth Grounded" at all times to prevent Electrostatic charge build up. (When an ATEX approved

pump is requested, a "Ground" contact point is provided or identified by the protective earth ground symbol.) The
electrical installation must conform to all location relevant codes.

2) The pump must not be used beyond its ratings and if the original operating conditions change, it is the users

responsibility to check with Pulsafeeder to confirm if the pump is still acceptable for the new operating conditions.

3) Pulsafeeder will only consider the pump safe for the purpose and duty conditions originally specified by the

purchaser. Pulsafeeder will not accept responsibility for pump failure or personal injury arising from mis-application
of

the

product.

4) In the event of any one of the following conditions occurring the pump should be shut down and the cause

investigated

and

rectified.

Unaccountable rise in discharge pressure

Release of liquid from the pressure relief mechanism

Excessive

noise

emissions

Unaccountable rise in operating temperature

Excessive

power

consumption

Loss

of

flow

5) Unauthorized modification or use of components other than original Pulsafeeder spares revokes any liability for

consequences, which may result.

6) A pressure relief method must be used at the discharge of the pump to provide over pressure protection. For ATEX

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, a "return to tank type piping system" is recommended to prevent high
temperatures due to recycled fluid.
