PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
Each Series 100/150 chemical feeder has been tested to meet prescribed specifications and certain safety standards.
However, a few precautionary notes should be adhered to at all times. THOROUGHLY READ ALL CAUTIONS PRIOR TO
INSTALLING METERING PUMP.
1. Chemicals used may be dangerous and should be used carefully and according to warnings on the label. Follow
the directions given with each type of chemical. Do not assume chemicals are the same because they look alike.
Always store chemicals in a safe location away from children and others. We cannot be responsible for the
misuse of chemicals being fed by the pump.
2. Always wear protective clothing (protective gloves and safety glasses) when working on or near chemical
metering pumps.
3. Tampering with electrical devices can be potentially hazardous. Always place chemicals and feeder installation
well out of the reach of children and others.
4. Be careful to check that the voltage of the installation matches the voltage indicated on the specification label.
Each pump is equipped with a three prong plug. Whether plugging into a receptacle or wiring into a system,
always be sure the feeder is grounded. If receptacle is utilized, to disconnect, do not pull wire but grip the plug
with fingers and pull out.
5. Never repair or move the metering pump while operating. Always disconnect electrical current. Before handling
the pump always allow sufficient time for the motor housing to cool off. Handling the pump too soon after
shutdown may cause hand burns. For safety use protective gloves.
6. All pumps are pretested with water before shipment. Remove head and dry thoroughly if you are pumping a
material that will react with water, (e.g. sulfuric acid). Valve seats, ball checks, gaskets, and diaphragm should
also be dried. Before placing feeder into service, extreme care should be taken to follow this procedure.
7. Arrows on the pump head and injection fitting indicate chemical flow. When properly installed, these arrows
should be pointing upward.
8. When metering hazardous material DO NOT use plastic tubing. Strictly use proper rigid pipe. Consult supplier for
special adaptors.
9. Pump is NOT to be used to handle or meter flammable liquids or materials.
