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

EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE

STATIC SPARK

WARNING EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause person

al injury, pump damage or property damage.

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

pump model plate.

Be sure material hoses and other components are able to with

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.

PD02P XDS DTX Groundable Acetal pumps: Use the pump

grounding screw provided. A screw terminal is provided on

the manifold. Connect a 12 ga. (min.) wire (66885 1 kit is avail

able) to a good earth ground source.

The pumping system and object being sprayed must be

grounded when it is pumping, flushing, recirculating or spray

ing flammable materials such as paints, solvents, lacquers,

etc. or used in a location where surrounding atmosphere is

conducive to spontaneous combustion.

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.

Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid

vibration and generation of contact or static spark.

Consult local building codes and electrical codes for specific

grounding requirements.

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.

Submerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or device in

the material being dispensed if possible. (Avoid free stream

ing of material being dispensed.)

Use hoses incorporating a static wire.

Use proper ventilation.

Keep inflammables away from heat, open flames and sparks.

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.

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

of the air exhaust muffler.

Pipe the exhaust to a safe remote location when pumping haz

ardous or inflammable materials.

Use a grounded 1/4" 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.

OPERATING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE

Disconnect air supply line and relieve pressure from the sys

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.

Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials from the

supplier for proper handling instructions.

CAUTION Verify the chemical compatibility of the pump

wetted parts and the substance being pumped, flushed or re

circulated. Chemical compatibility may change with tempera

ture and concentration of the chemical(s) within the

substances being pumped, flushed or circulated. For specific

fluid compatibility, consult the chemical manufacturer.

CAUTION Maximum temperatures are based on mechani

cal stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly reduce

maximum safe operating temperature. Consult the chemical

manufacturer for chemical compatibility and temperature lim

its. 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 limita

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.

Suction and discharge connections should be flexible con

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

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 peri

ods of time.

Disconnect air line from pump when system sits idle for long

periods of time.

CAUTION Use only genuine ARO replacement parts to as

sure compatible pressure rating and longest service life.

Replacement warning labels are available upon
