Read and understand the following information and instructions
included with this product before using. This information is for
your safty and to prevent damage to this product. Failure to ob-
serve these safety precautions could result in severe bodily injury,
including death in extream cases.
Save these instructions.
GENERAL
Operation and maintenance instructions as well as parts information
presented herein relate to the following linear air pump models:
Pressure Pumps
2420
2430
2440
2460
2478
Vacuum/Pressure
2415
2425
OPERATION
Ambient conditions - All air pumps should be operated in a well
centilated area where the surrounding air is relatively clean, dry and
temperatures are consistently within the range of 35°F and 100°F.
WARNING
To avoid fire or explosion, do notoperate this product in areas with
flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust in the air. Flammable gases
or vapors include but not limited to; lighter fluid, solvent type cleaners,
oil -base paints, gasoline, alcohol or aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts
inclued but not limited to; coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder.
ELECTRICAL
Operation of all linear air pumps require connection to a source of
electric power. On models supplied with a factory mounted cord and
plug assembly, the three prong plug can simply be inserted into a
standard 115 volt wall outlet to make the pump operate (see grounding
instructions). For models supplied with bare wire leads, a qualified
electrician should be contracted to install the pump.
These linear air pumps are electrically thermal protected using a “single
trip”, Non-replaceable type protector. If the pump fails to operate
after initial start-up, the protector may have tripped indicating a high
temperature condition existed. Once these “single trip” type protectors
have tripped the pump is no longer usable and must be replaced.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required on all linear pressure pumps. (Models
2420, 2430, 2440, 2460, & 2478). Diaphragm and head assemblies for
theses models should be replaced after every 24 months of operation.
CAUTION:
To reduce risk of electrical shock...
1. Do not disassemble. Disassembly or attempted repairs if
accomplished incorrectly can create eletrical shock hazard. Refer to
servicing to qualified service agencies only.
2. If this product is supplied with a three pronged plug, connect unit to a
properly grounded outlet only.
DANGER:
To reduce risk of explosion or fire...
1. Do not use this product in or near explosive atmospheres or where aerosol
(spray) products are being used.
2. Do not pump anything other than atmospheric air
3. Do not pump combustible liquids or vapors with this product or use in or near
any area where flammable or explosive liquids or vapors may exist.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
This product is equipped with an approved three-conductor cord and
three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type
receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to
a live terminal. Your unit is for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug
like that shown in Fig. A. An adapter, Figures B and C, is available for
connecting Figure A plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, etc., must be connected to a permanent ground sus as a
properly grounded outlet box.
Adapter shown in Figures B & C is Not for Use in Canada.
We recomend that you NEVER disassemble the product or try to do
any rewiring in the electrical
system. Any such repairs
should be preformed only by
a Gardner Denver Thomas
Products Service center or other
qualified serivce organizations.
Should you be determined
to make a repair yourself,
remember that the green colored
wire is the “grounding” wire.
Never connect this green wire to
a “live” terminal. If you replace
the plug on the power cord, be
sure to connect the green wire
only to the grounding (longest)
prong on a 3 prong plug. If you
use an extension cord, be sure
that it is a 3-conductor
grounding type cord.
Grounding must be continuous
from the product plug to the
ground recepticale.
