Warnings & Safety Issues

WARNING

lt is the responsibility of the user to operate the pump in conformance with OSHA rules for dispensing liquids. Pump containers

should be grounded when using with flammable liquids to avoid static electricity. Pump should be washed

out before usage since processing lubricants could contaminate the fluid.

When using a hand pump (especially when pumping flammable, combustible or hazardous liquids) follow all electrical and

safety codes, as well as the OH&S standards.

Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards. The "WARNING" statements indicate potentially hazardous

conditions for the operator or equipment. TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. Pump

should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Consult PUMP CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY

CHART and PUMP SPECIFICATIONS. Also, the chemical supplier should be consulted regarding any questions of chemical

compatibility, proper and safe use, and handling of chemicals. Misapplication of pump or use of incompatible liquids will

void warranty.

WARNING

In order to properly use this product familiarise yourself with this pump and also with the liquid (chemical, etc.) that is going to

be pumped through the unit. Although this pump is suitable for many liquids, it is not suitable for all liquids!

Pumping hazardous, flammable, or combustible liquids, should only be done in buildings, rooms, or areas suited for this

purpose.

WARNING

When filling cans, drums, etc. with combustible or flammable liquids, both container pumping from and container pumping to,

should be bonded and grounded to dissipate possible accumulations of static electricity, and minimise sparks caused by static

electricity.

WARNING

Removal of outer garments in work areas where there may be flammable or explosive liquids, which are ignitable with low

electrical energy, can be fatal and/or cause property damage.

The "WARNING" and instructions for gasoline below pertain not only to gasoline, but to any flammable, combustible or

hazardous fluid.

WARNING

Gasoline is a highly flammable fuel. The improper use, handling, or storage of gasoline can be dangerous. Prevent accidents by

following these safety rules:

a. Use gasoline only as fuel, never as a cleaning fluid.

b. Use only an approved container to hold or store gasoline. Never store gasoline in familiar containers such as milk

containers or soda pop bottles.

c. Store gasoline in a cool location, out of the reach of children. Never store gasoline near heat or an open flame.

d. Provide a fire extinguisher nearby when working with gasoline. Be sure extinguisher is in operating condition - check

the pressure gauge or indicator. Be familiar with its proper use. Consult local fire department for the correct type of

extinguisher for your application. Extinguishers rated ABC by the National Fire Protection Association are appropriate

for most applications.

e. Provide positive shut-off valves on all permanent fuel supplies. Fuel lines must be of steel piping, adequately

secured, and free from leaks.

f . Provide adequate ventilation, and clean up any spills when handling or pumping flammable liquids.

g. POSITIVELY NO SMOKING!

The "WARNING" and instructions for gasoline below pertain not only to gasoline, but to any flammable, combustible or

hazardous fluid.

Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will slip, possibly causing personal injury

and/or property damage.

Do not overtighten threaded fittings. One full turn past hand tight is usually enough to prevent leakage. Teflon ~ sealant tape

is provided and should be used on all threaded joints, including the spout.

Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance as required.

10 Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.

WARNING

Any pump used to transfer flammable liquids must be stored in a well ventilated area after use.
