IMPORTANTRead the safety warnings and instructions in this manualbefore pump installation and start-up. Failure to comply withthe recommendations stated in this manual could damage thepump and void factory warranty.When used for toxic or aggressive fluids, the pump shouldalways be flushed clean prior to disassembly.Airborne particles and loud noise hazards. Wear eye and earprotection.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 clothingare worn at all times. Failure to follow these recommendationsmay result in serious injury or death.ATEX compliant pumps are suitable for use in explosive atmospheres when the equipment is properly groundedin accordance with local electrical codes. Pumps equipped with electrically conductive diaphragms are suitable forthe transfer of conductive or non-conductive fluids of any explosion group. When operating pumps equipped withnon-conductive diaphragms that exceed the maximum permissible projected area, as defined in EN 13461-1: 2009section 6.7.5 table 9, the following protection methods must be applied:• Equipment is always used to transfer electrically conductive fluids or• Explosive environment is prevented from entering the internal portions of the pump, i.e. dry runningFor further guidance on ATEX applications, please consult the factory.When the pump is used for materials that tend to settle outor solidify, the pump should be flushed after each use toprevent damage. In freezing temperatures the pump should becompletely drained between uses.Before pump operation, inspect all fasteners for looseningcaused by gasket creep. Retighten loose fasteners to preventleakage. Follow recommended torques stated in this manual.CAUTIONWARNINGNonmetallic pumps and plastic components are not UVstabilized. Ultraviolet radiation can damage these parts andnegatively affect material properties. Do not expose to UV lightfor extended periods of time.In the event of diaphragm rupture, pumped material may enterthe air end of the pump, and be discharged into the atmosphere.If pumping a product that is hazardous or toxic, the air exhaustmust be piped to an appropriate area for safe containment.This pump is pressurized internally with air pressure duringoperation. Make certain that all fasteners are in good conditionand are reinstalled properly during reassembly.Take action to prevent static sparking. Fire or explosion canresult, especially when handling flammable liquids. The pump,piping, valves, containers and other miscellaneous equipmentmust be properly grounded.Safety InformationGrounding ATEX PumpsWARNINGPump not designed, tested or certified to be powered bycompressed natural gas.
