1.0 SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read and observe all warnings contained in this operations manual before making
any attempt to operate the equipment.
Misuse of equipment
Misuse of equipment can cause serious bodily injury. Use the equipment only for its
intended purpose and do not attempt to modify it in any way. Care should be taken to
prevent over pressurization of the pump, hose lines and accessories connected to it. Use
only IPM designated parts for re-building or repairing this equipment. Use the pump only
with compatible fluids. Improper use of this equipment could result in fluid being sprayed
on the skin or in the eyes of user, serious bodily injury, property damage, fire or explosion.
Daily maintenance inspection should be made on pumps and equipment and all worn or
damaged parts should be re-placed immediately. Do not use pumps, components or hose
lines as leverage to move equipment to avoid damage and injury.
Do not alter this equipment as doing so could cause it to function incorrectly and/or cause
serious injury. Altering this equipment in any way will also void any and all warranty
guarantees from the manufacturer.
Material & fluid compatibility
Always ensure the chemical compatibility of the fluids and solvents used in the fluid
section of these pumps, hoses other components. Check the chemical manufacturer’s
data sheets and specification charts before using fluids or solvents in this pump to ensure
compatibility with pumps, inner hose lining and outer hose covering.
Pressurized hoses
Because the hoses are pressurized they can present a danger should the fluid escape due
to damage, worn parts or general miss-use. Escaping fluid can splash or spray operator,
causing serious bodily injury and/or damage to equipment and property. Ensure that the
hoses do not leak or rupture due to wear, misuse or damage.
Before each use, ensure that the fluid couplings are tight and all clips/pins/plugs are
secured. Inspect the entire length of hose for wear, cuts, abrasions, bulging cover and/or
loose connections. These conditions may cause the hose to fail and result in splashing or
spraying of chemicals on the skin or in the eyes of operator and cause serious injury
and/or property damage.
