1.0 Introduction

Ruby pumps have been manufactured to the 2006/42/CE, 2014/34//EC directives. The relevant area criteria are indicated in the EN-60079-

10 , EN-12100:2010 , EN-809:1998+A1:2009 , EN-80079-36 , EN 80079-37  harmonized European standards. Therefore, if used according

to the instructions contained in this manual, the Ruby pumps will not represent any risk to the operator. This manual must be preserved in

good condition and/or accompany the machine as reference for maintenance purposes. The manufacturer rejects any liability for any

alteration ,modification, incorrect application or operation not complying with the content of this manual and that may cause damage to the

health and safety of persons, animals or objects stationing near the pumps

The following instructions solely refer to Ruby Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps. Since the pumps are used in combination with other

assemblies, such as solenoid valves, sensors or pulsation dampers, the valid operating instructions for these components and the associated

notes on safety must also be taken into account.

These instructions contain information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance, repair and environmental waste disposal of the Ruby

Air Operated Diaphragm Pump. Thoroughly read these instructions before use and always follow the information contained therein.

Persons entrusted with the installation, operation, maintenance or repair of the pump must have read and understood these instructions,

especially the chapter on “Health and Safety”. This applies in particular for those who are only occasionally involved in work on the pump,

like cleaning or service personnel.

Each pump is subjected to stringent inspections and function tests before leaving the factory.

You should always bear in mind that a correct function, a long lifetime and optimal operational reliability of the pump mainly depend on

■ correct installation

■ correct commissioning

■ and correctly performed maintenance and repair work.

Enquiries concerning service, spare parts or repairs should be addressed to the manufacturer

Always provide the following information:

■ Series

■ Pump size

■ Serial number of pump

This information is stamped on the identification plate on top of the pump.

Danger!

When returning pumps or pump parts to your supplier for repair or general overhaul, the delivery must be accompanied

bycertificates stating that pumps or pump parts are free of product and other aggressive or hazardous substances.

1.0.1 Pump Identification

Each pump has an identification plate carrying its specification details and materials. 

Always refer to this data when contacting the manufacturer, dealer or customer service centers.

WARNING: 

removing or altering this identification plate and or the data it contains is forbidden. 

Identification code  on the plate against the “TYPE” heading specifies the composition and the materials used to build the pump. This data

will help ascertain whether the pump is suitable for the product to be pumped.
