SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using chemical feed pumps, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk
of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 General Safety Considerations
Always wear protective clothing including gloves and safety goggles when working on or near chemical metering pumps.
Inspect tubing regularly when replenishing chemical solution for cracking or deterioration and replace as necessary.
(Always wear protective clothing and safety glasses when inspecting tubing.)
When pump is exposed to direct sunlight use U.V. resistant tubing.
Follow directions and warnings provided with the chemicals from the chemical manufacturer. User is responsible for
determining chemical compatibility with chemical feed pump.
Secure chemicals and metering pumps, making them inaccessible to children and pets.
Make sure the voltage on the chemical metering pump matches the voltage at the installation site.
Do not cut plug or the ground lug off of the electrical cord
– consult a licensed electrician for proper installation.
Pump is NOT to be used to handle flammable liquids.
1.2 Safety Operating Procedures
Each Electronic Metering Pump has been tested to meet prescribed specifications and safety standards.
Proper care in handling, installation and operation will help in ensuring a trouble free installation.
Please read all these cautionary notes prior to installation and start-up of your metering pump.
Important: Pump must be installed and used with supplied back pressure/injection valve. Failure to do so could
result in excessive pump output.
Handle the pump with care. Dropping or heavy impact causes not only external damage to the pump, but also to
electrical parts inside.
Install the pump in a place where the ambient temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC). The pump is water resistant
and dust proof by construction and can be use outdoors, however do not operate the pump submerged. To avoid high
internal pump temperatures, do not operate in direct sunlight.
Solenoid housing, head and pump housing may be hot to touch 160ºF (70ºC).
Install the pump in a place convenient for its future maintenance and inspection, and then secure it to prevent vibration.
Protective caps must be removed prior to installing tubing onto valve assemblies. Use tubing of specified size. Connect
the tubing to the suction side securely to prevent the entrance of outside air. Make sure that there is no liquid leakage on
the discharge side.
Be careful to check that the voltage of the installation matches voltage indicated on the pump data label. Most pump
models are equipped with a three-prong plug. Always be sure the pump is grounded. To disconnect, do not pull wire but
grip the plug with fingers and pull out. Do not use the receptacle in common with heavy electrical equipment, which
generates surge voltage. It can cause failure of the electronic circuit inside the pump.
Tampering with electrical devices can be potentially hazardous. Always place chemicals and pump installation well out of
the reach of children.
Never repair or move the metering pump while operating. Always disconnect electrical power. For safety, always wear
protective clothing (protective gloves and safety glasses) when working on or near chemical metering pumps.
