protective action for pump and environment.
➨
You must take suitable precautions to prevent any for-
mation of explosive mixtures in the pump chamber or
at the outlet of the pump. In case, e.g., of a diaphragm
failure, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces
or static electricity may ignite these mixtures. Use inert
gas for gas ballast or venting, if necessary.
➨
Drain appropriately or otherwise remove any poten-

dilute them to non-explosive concentrations.
➨
Never operate this pump if it has a damaged cord or
plug.

If the pump is not working properly, has been dropped
or has fallen into water, contact your pump service pro-

If there is an exhaust isolation valve, make sure that you
cannot operate the equipment with the valve closed to
avoid a risk of bursting!

Always provide a free and pressureless exhaust outlet

Check the overpressure safety relief device at the ex-
haust waste vapor condenser at appropriate intervals.

Comply with applicable regulations when disposing of
chemicals. Take into consideration that chemicals may
be contaminated. Take adequate precautions to pro-
tect people from the effects of dangerous substances
(chemicals, thermal decomposition products of fluoro-
elastomers). Use appropriate protective clothing and
safety goggles.
