12. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
Prior to shipping, pumps are packed and in cardboard containers. During transportation and storage always maintain the pump
the right way up as indicated on the box.
On receipt check that the packaging has not been damaged and store the pump in a dry place.
Given the low weight and the small dimensions, the pump may be handled without any special lifting apparatus.
13. OPERATING HAZARDS
It is necessary to read and understand the possible hazards and risks involved when using a lubrication pump.
The operator must fully understand the hazards implied in pumping grease under pressure.
Flammability
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not normally flammable. However, it is desirable to avoid contact with
extremely hot substances or naked flames.
Pressure
Prior to any intervention, check the absence of residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit as it may cause oil sprays
when disassembling components or fittings.
Spring
Be careful! Pre-loaded spring in the reservoir.
14. PRECAUTIONS
No particular operating hazards characterize these pumps, except for the following precautions:
•
Operator’s contact with lubricant
in case of piping breaking/opening or during refill/maintenance. -> Protection
against direct and indirect contact with the fluid must be provided by the user: the operator must be provided with
suitable individual protective clothing and devices.
•
Use of incompatible lubricant
-> Main incompatible fluids:
⇓
Fluid
Danger
Lubricants containing abrasive components
Premature wear of pump
Lubricants containing silicon
Pump failure
Petrol – solvents – inflammable liquids
Fire – explosion –seal damage
Corrosive products
Pump damage - danger to persons
Water
Pump oxidization
Food Products
Contamination of the product
