13. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
The warnings and risks that using the pump implies must be carefully read. The user must be familiar with operation through
the Operating Manual.
Flammability
The lubricant used in the lubrication circuits is a fluid that is not normally flammable. In any case, all possible measures must
be taken to prevent it coming into contact with very hot parts or naked flames.
Pressure
Before any operation, check for the absence of any residual pressure in all branches of the system, that could cause spurts of
lubricant in the event that fittings or components are disassembled.
Pressure regulators:
1.
fitted with escape valves
2.
the filters reservoir is protected against any explosions
Do not tamper with the hydraulic-pneumatic circuit during the operating phases and in any case when there is pressure in
the pump. In the event that operations on the pressurised pump should become necessary, if it locks up, you must proceed
as follows:
a.
close compressed air distribution
b.
operate on the delivery gun lever to verify the presence of residual pressure,
discharging it
c.
operate on the pump as indicated in the maintenance instructions
RECOMMENDATIONS:
During the maintenance phases and in any case during operations, the operators should use personal protection equipment
such as gloves, eye protection and protective clothing.
WARNING
: USING THE PUMP TO TRANSFER AND TRANSPORT FLAMMABLE AND CORROSIVE LIQUIDS IS PROHIBITED.
The noise produced by operation of the pump detected in accordance with the provisions of machine directive 89/392 EEC is
75 dB since the pump is fitted with a dissipative silencer installed on the compressed air discharge. Periodically check the
efficiency of the silencer.
