1.2 LIST OF RESIDUAL RISKS
After a careful analysis and assessment of the hazards present during the operational phases affected by the
BOXER series Pneumatic Pumps, the necessary measures were taken to eliminate or reduce the associated risks
and the residual risks were reported and dealt with in the Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual (Original
Instructions) provided with the pump, so that they can be further reduced or eliminated through the design and inte-
gration of safety of the machines in which they will be installed:

INSTRUCTIONS
• Hazards related to toxic and/or corrosive liquids to be pumped;
• Danger of chemical incompatibility with the fluids to be pumped;
• Danger of produced leakage with dangerous fluids; (provide flow and collection containment protections);
• Danger of chemical reaction with fluids reacting to tap water for testing; (open and dry the internal parts of the
pump before installing it);
• Crushing hazard.

INSTRUCTIONS
• Hazards related to toxic and/or corrosive liquids to be pumped;
• Danger of chemical incompatibility with the fluids to be pumped;
• Danger of stress corrosion cracking (combined action of corrosion and/or incorrect application of a load) com-
bined with high temperatures;
• Fire hazard due to the deposit of flammable dust or use with temperatures higher than those shown on the prod-
uct Identification Plate.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE -

PROCEdURES
IN
THE
ORIGINAL
INSTRUCTIONS
• Hazards related to toxic and/or corrosive liquids to be pumped;
• Danger of projection of pump parts during disassembly, due to residual internal pressures (anomalous) in the pneu-
matic circuit of the pump;
• Danger of rupture of diaphragms in the absence of Scheduled Maintenance.
Those designing the machine/system in which the BOXER series Pneumatic Pump will be installed must consider
the residual risk indicated in each operational phase and must take the necessary safety integration measures
provided by the applicable directives, before commissioning.
It is forbidden to commission the pump before the
Machine in which it will be incorporated has been declared compliant with Directive 2006/42/EC and any
further applicable specific Regulations and/or Directives.
Whoever works in these areas and deals with these operational phases must be a trained person and aware that
there may still be “residual risks” (related to the type of fluid used and the chemical compatibility) that it was not
possible to eliminate.
Those in charge of these operations must always have at their disposal (consult and understand) all the informa-
tion contained in the Manufacturer’s Manual (Original Instructions or Translation of Original Instructions) and must
obtain the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided, before intervening.
The Customer, the Installation and Maintenance Technicians, the Qualified Operators are responsible for arranging
all the necessary measures so that access near the pump is reserved and limited to trained and qualified person-
nel and providing adequate information and reports of any residual risk on the machine/system in which it will be
installed, in compliance with current safety laws.
Since an endless variety of products and chemical compositions of the fluids exists, the user is presumed to have the
best knowledge of their compatibility and chemical reaction with the pump’s construction materials.
The purchaser
is strictly responsible for selecting the construction materials compatible with the fluid(s) with which the
pump components come into contact
.
The user can contact the Manufacturer or the Distributor for suggestions in relation to the construction materials
that offer the best chemical compatibility, however, neither the Manufacturer nor the Distributor will be held liable for
damage (malfunction, structural ageing, leakage or indirect damage) attributable to chemical incompatibility reac-
tions between the pump materials and the fluids that come into contact with them.
