IMPORTANT

Read the safety warnings and instructions in this manual

before pump installation and start-up. Failure to comply with

the recommendations stated in this manual could damage the

pump and void factory warranty.

When used for toxic or aggressive fluids, the pump should

always be flushed clean prior to disassembly.

Airborne particles and loud noise hazards. Wear eye and ear

protection.

Before maintenance or repair, shut off the compressed air line,

bleed the pressure, and disconnect the air line from the pump.

Be certain that approved eye protection and protective clothing

are worn at all times. Failure to follow these recommendations

may result in serious injury or death.

When the pump is used for materials that tend to settle out

or solidify, the pump should be flushed after each use to

prevent damage. In freezing temperatures the pump should be

completely drained between uses.

Before pump operation, inspect all fasteners for loosening

caused by gasket creep. Retighten loose fasteners to prevent

leakage. Follow recommended torques stated in this manual.

CAUTION

WARNING

Nonmetallic pumps and plastic components are not UV

stabilized. Ultraviolet radiation can damage these parts and

negatively affect material properties. Do not expose to UV light

for extended periods of time.

In the event of diaphragm rupture, pumped material may enter

the air end of the pump, and be discharged into the atmosphere.

If pumping a product that is hazardous or toxic, the air exhaust

must be piped to an appropriate area for safe containment.

This pump is pressurized internally with air pressure during

operation. Make certain that all fasteners are in good condition

and are reinstalled properly during reassembly.

Take action to prevent static sparking. Fire or explosion can

result, especially when handling flammable liquids. The pump,

piping, valves, containers and other miscellaneous equipment

must be properly grounded.

Safety Information

To be fully groundable, the pumps must be ATEX Compliant. Refer to the nomenclature page for ordering information.

Optional 8 foot long (244 centimeters) Ground Strap is available for

easy ground connection.

To reduce the risk of static electrical sparking, this pump must be

grounded. Check the local electrical code for detailed grounding

instruction and the type of equipment required.

Refer to nomenclature page for ordering information.

Grounding the Pump

WARNING

Take action to prevent static sparking.

Fire or explosion can result, especially

when handling flammable liquids. The

pump, piping, valves, containers or

other miscellaneous equipment must

be grounded.

Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the

WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the

collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize

any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of

hazardous substances. The WEEE marking applies only to countries within the European Union

(EU) and Norway. Appliances are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC.

Contact your local waste recovery agency for a

designated collection facility in your area.

None of the equipment supplied within the AirVantage unit either use of exceed the amounts

stated above hazardous substances. A signed declaration from our supplier of the electronic/

electrical portion of the AirVantage unit will be held on file stating their adherence to the RoHS,

2002/95/EC regulation.

The enclosure is non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic

charges under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the equipment is not

installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure

steam) which might cause a build-up of electrostatic charges on non-conducting surfaces.

Additionally, cleaning of the equipment should be done only with a damp cloth.”

WARNING

Pump not designed, tested or certified to be powered by

compressed natural gas. Powering the pump with natural

gas will void the warranty.
