General Safety Information
(Continued)
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
minimize sparks caused by static
electricity (refer to NFPA 77 for specific
details).
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 (refer to NFPA
56A, and NFPA 77, for further details).
4 The "WARNING" and instructions for
gasoline below pertain not only to
gasoline, but to any flammable,
combustible or hazardous fluid.
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 a 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!
5. Do not use torches or apply fire or
flame to this pump for any reason.
6. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will slip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
7. Do not over tighten nonmetallic
threaded fittings. One full turn past
hand tight is usually enough to
prevent leakage. Teflon sealant tape
should be used on all threaded
joints, including the spout.
8. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.
9. Periodically inspect pump and system
components. Perform routine
maintenance as required.
10. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
Any pump used to
transfer flammable
liquids must be stored in a well
ventilated area after use.
11.Personal Safety
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pump.
b. Wear a face shield, proper
apparel and suitable respiratory
equipment, when pumping
hazardous chemicals.
c. Keep work area clean,
uncluttered, and properly lighted,
replace all unused tools and
equipment.
d. Keep visitors at a safe distance
from the work area.
e. Make workshop childproof, with
padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
Failure to follow
all general safety
information can result in a fatality,
personal injury and/or property
damage!
Assembly & Installation
