tubing or exhaust valve) at the outlet. Ensure that the
pump outlet is neither blocked nor restricted.

Maximum ambient temperature: 104 °F (40 °C)
Check the maximum temperatures, if installing the
pump in a cabinet or a housing. Make sure ventilation
is adequate, especially if the ambient temperature is
elevated.

Operation with silencer at the outlet: Operating the
pump at a high inlet pressure or pumping dusty gas-
es for a long time may cause clogging of the silencer.
Check the silencer regularly and replace if necessary,
or install a hose nozzle instead.
• If the pump is installed at an altitude of more than 6500
ft (2000 m) above mean sea level, check compatibility
with applicable safety requirements, and adopt suit-
able measures. There is a risk of the motor overheat-
ing due to insufficient cooling.
• Check compatibility with the maximally permitted
pressure at outlet and the maximum pressure dif-
ference between inlet and outlet ports.
Do not start the pump if the pressure difference between
inlet and outlet ports exceeds max. 16.0 psi (1.1 bar).
Attempts to start the pump at higher pressure difference
may cause stalling and damage of the motor.
Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust.
The diaphragms and valves will be damaged, if liquids are
pumped in significant amounts.
Check the pump regularly for external soiling and depos-
its. Clean the pump if necessary to avoid an increase of
the pump’s operating temperature.
In case of overload, the motor is shut down by a self-hold
thermal cutout in the winding.
Three-phase motors are equipped with a circuit- breaker
which isolates all poles in case of an overload.
Note: Only manual reset is possible. Switch off the pump
