OPERATING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW THIS INFORMATION TO AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE

STATIC SPARK

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE

WARNING EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause personĆ

al injury, pump damage or property damage.

S

Do not exceed the maximum inlet air pressure as stated on the

pump model plate.

S

Be sure material hoses and other components are able to withĆ

stand fluid pressures developed by this pump. Check all

hoses for damage or wear. Be certain dispensing device is

clean and in proper working condition.

WARNING STATIC SPARK. Can cause explosion resulting

in severe injury or death. Ground pump and pumping system.

S

Use the pump grounding screw terminal provided. Use Aro

Part No. 66885-1 Ground Kit or connect a suitable ground wire

(12 ga. min.) to a good earth ground source.

S

Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid

vibration and generation of contact or static spark.

S

Consult local building codes and electrical codes for specific

grounding requirements.

S

After grounding, periodically verify continuity of electrical

path to ground. Test with an ohmmeter from each component

(e.g., hoses, pump, clamps, container, spray gun, etc.) to

ground to insure continuity. Ohmmeter should show 100

ohms or less.

S

Submerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or device in

the material being dispensed if possible. (Avoid free streamĆ

ing of material being dispensed.)

S

Use hoses incorporating a static wire.

S

Use proper ventilation.

S

Keep inflammables away from heat, open flames and sparks.

S

Keep containers closed when not in use.

WARNING Pump exhaust may contain contaminants. Can

cause severe injury. Pipe exhaust away from work area and

personnel.

S

In the event of a diaphragm rupture material can be forced out

of the air exhaust muffler.

S

Pipe the exhaust to a safe remote location when pumping hazĆ

ardous or inflammable materials.

S

Use a grounded 1" min. i.d. hose between the pump and the

muffler.

WARNING HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Can result in serious

injury or property damage. Do not service or clean pump,

hoses or dispensing valve while the system is pressurized.

S

Disconnect air supply line and relieve pressure from the sysĆ

tem by opening dispensing valve or device and/or carefully

and slowly loosening and removing outlet hose or piping from

pump.

WARNING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Can cause serious

injury or property damage. Do not attempt to return a pump to

the factory or service center that contains hazardous material.

Safe handling practices must comply with local and national

laws and safety code requirements.

S

Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials from the

supplier for proper handling instructions.

WARNING EXPLOSIONHAZARD. Models containing aluĆ

minum wetted parts cannot be used with III.-Trichloroethane,

Methylene Chloride or other Halogenated Hydrocarbon solĆ

vents which may react and explode.

S

Check pump motor section, fluid caps, manifolds and all

wetted parts to assure compatibility before using with solĆ

vents of this type.

WARNING MISAPPLICATIONHAZARD. Do not use models

containing aluminum wetted parts with food products for huĆ

man consumption. Plated parts can contain trace amounts of

lead.

CAUTION Verify the chemical compatibility of the pump

wetted parts and the substance being pumped, flushed or reĆ

circulated. Chemical compatibility may change with temperaĆ

ture and concentration of the chemical(s) within the

substances being pumped, flushed or circulated. Consult the

material manufacturer and ARO Form No. 8677-P, Fluid ComĆ

patibility Guide, for information on chemical compatibility.

CAUTION Maximum temperatures are based on mechaniĆ

cal stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly reduce

maximum safe operating temperature. Consult Fluid CompatiĆ

bility Guide for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.

Refer to PUMP DATA on page 1 of this manual.

CAUTION Be certain all operators of this equipment have

been trained for safe working practices, understand it's limitaĆ

tions, and wear safety goggles/equipment when required.

CAUTION Do not use the pump for the structural support of

the piping system. Be certain the system components are

properly supported to prevent stress on the pump parts.

S

Suction and discharge connections should be flexible conĆ

nections (such as hose), not rigid piped, and should be comĆ

patible with the substance being pumped.

CAUTION Prevent unnecessary damage to the pump. Do

not allow pump to operate when out of material for long periĆ

ods of time.

S

Disconnect air line from pump when system sits idle for long

periods of time.

CAUTION Use only genuine ARO replacement parts to asĆ

sure compatible pressure rating and longest service life.
