OPERATOR TRAINING, CERTIFICATION AND RESPONSIBILITY

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND MSDS
HAZARD: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
⚠
DANGER
Use of this equipment may pose certain explosion and fire hazards.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
It is possible for electrical components within the
unit to spark. If electrical sparks come into contact
with flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire
or explosion.
Use only in well ventilated areas. In enclosed areas,
mechanical ventilation should provide at least four
air changes per hour.
Flammable/combustible gases and air may become
unknowingly ingested through leaks in hoses,
gaskets, connections or leaking seals, leading to
compression of these gases. Air and hydrocarbons,
if pumped to a tank, create an explosive mixture
that random static electricity could ignite.
Do not use in the vicinity of spilled or open
containers of gasoline, propane, butane, acetylene,
or other flammable gases.
Do not use near open sewer lines which may be
emitting sewer gases.
Flammable substances may ignite or explode when
compressed in certain situations.
Do not use this machine to pump hydrocarbons,
including blends containing butane, isobutane, or
propane. Hydrocarbons are flammable substances
and may ignite or explode when compressed in
certain situations.
Improper use of extensions cords may result in
overheating or fire in the cord or machine.
Use only 12AWG or 10AWG extension cords:
- Up to 25 Feet: 12/3 UL/CSA cord
- Up to 100 Feet: 10/3 UL/CSA cord
