PUMPING SYSTEM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use MVP replacement parts to assure compatible pressure rating. Read ALL warning
and safety instructions carefully before operation of this unit. Heed all warnings.
WARNING:
Never allow any part of the human body to come in front of, or in
direct contact with, the material outlet. Accidental operation of the pump could cause
an injection into the flesh. If injection occurs, medical aid must be immediately
obtained from a physician.
Component Rupture: This unit is capable of producing high fluid pressure as stated on
the pump model plate. To avoid component rupture, and possible injury, do not exceed
75 cycles per minute or operate at an air inlet pressure greater than 150 PSI (10 bar).
Servicing: Before servicing, cleaning or removing any component, ALWAYS disconnect
or shut off power source and carefully relieve all fluid pressure from the system.
CAUTION: When pumping, flushing or recirculating volatile solvents, the area must be
adequately ventilated.
CAUTION: Materials and solvent being pumped must be compatible with the parts of
the pump that becomes wetted when in contact with material or solvent. Wetted parts
consist of the following: stainless steel, copper, brass, steel, gray iron, leather, Teflon
and Vellumoid.
CAUTION: Keep solvents away from heat, sparks and open flames. Keep containers
closed when not in use.
Prevent Static Sparking: If static sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. The
pump, dispensing valve, and containers must be grounded when handling flammable
fluids such as solvents, paints, lacquers, etc., and wherever discharge of static
electricity is a hazard.
Use grounded hoses (static wire) and be sure the object being serviced is grounded if it
can produce a static charge.
Continuity (a good static wire connection) of a hose can be checked by using an
ohmmeter. Place one probe on one hose fitting and the other probe on the other hose
fitting, continuity or proper grounding through hose is good when a reading is obtained
on the ohmmeter.
Air and Lube Requirements: Excessive air pressure will shorten the life of the pump.
Do not operate pump above recommended maximum air pressure. If necessary, an air
regulator should be installed to maintain the desired pressure when the pump is in
operation.
Filtered and oiled air will allow the pump to operate more efficiently and yield a longer
life to operating parts and mechanisms.
Keep oiler supplied with MVP Pump Motor Oil. A filter capable of filtering particles
larger than 50 microns should be used with an oiler.
Maintenance: If the pump is to be inoperative for a lengthy period of time (even for a
few hours) disconnect air and relieve all pressure from system.
Periodically flush pump with a solvent that is compatible with the material being
pumped. Pour a little throat seal lubricant into the solvent cup to keep upper packings
