General Safety
Thoroughly read and understand this manual
before installing, operating or servicing the
described products.
WARNING
!
DANGER: Not for use with
fluids that have a flash point
below 100°F (38°C). Examples:
gasoline, alcohol. Sparking could
result in an explosion which could result in
death.
Because this pump can be
incorporated into a pressurized
systems, the following safety
precautions should be observed.
Check equipment regularly and repair or
replace worn and damaged parts.
Never alter or modify any parts of this pump,
doing so may cause damage to pump and/or
personal injury.
Under no circumstances should the dispensing
valve be aimed at any person at any time.
Personal injury may result.
Release pressures built up in the system
before any service or repair is begun. See the
pressure relief procedure below.
Do not operate this pump above 150 PSI
(10.3 BAR) air inlet pressure or 300 cycles per
minute.
Always read and follow the fluid manufacturer’s
recommendations regarding the use of
protective eye wear, clothing and respirators.
IMPORTANT
!
Pressure Relief Procedure:
Follow this procedure whenever you shut off
the pump, when checking or servicing any part
of the system and when installing, cleaning or
changing any part of the system.
1) Disconnect the air to the pump.
2) Point dispensing valve away from
yourself and others.
3) Open dispensing valve until
pressure is relieved.

THIS
PUMP
CONTAINS
ALUMINUM
AND
ZINC
PARTS.
DO NOT use 1-1-1
Trichloroethane, methylene chloride or other
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in this pump. Use
of these solvents/fluids may result in a
violent chemical reaction, causing serious
bodily injury, property damage or death. All
fluids used in this pump must be chemically
compatible with the wetted parts materials
shown on page two (3) of this manual.
Consult your chemical supplier to ensure
compatibility.

3:1
pump (1130-005) develops
450 psi (30.7 Bar) maximum working
pressure at 150 psi (10.3 Bar) maximum
inlet air pressure and stall conditions. Be
sure that any components or accessories
used in the system are rated to withstand this
pressure. To determine fluid output pressure
at stall conditions, multiply the ratio of the
pump by the air pressure being used.
EXAMPLE: 3:1 Pump Ratio x 100 psi air
pressure = 300 psi fluid pressure at stall.
In the presence of explosive
vapors, take action to prevent
static sparking. Failure to
ground the pump, piping, valves, containers, or
other miscellaneous equipment can result in fire or
explosion. A green grounding lug is provided on the
pump.
