AP-3 Manual
Revision 3 - April, 2009
Introduction
Welcome to QED Environmental Systems’ AutoPump® (AP-3) manual.
To ensure the best operator safety and system performance, it is strongly recommended that
the operators read this entire manual before using the system.
This manual reflects our many years of experience and includes comments and suggestions
from our sales and service personnel and most importantly from our customers. The chapters,
their contents and sequence were designed with you, the user and installer, in mind. We wrote
this manual so it can be easily understood by users who may not be familiar with systems of
this type or are using a
QED
system for the first time.
Safety
Safety has been a cornerstone of our design which has been proven out in building and
shipping systems throughout the world. Our high level of performance is achieved by using
quality components, building in redundancies or backup systems, and not compromising
our commitment to quality manufacturing. The net result is the highest quality and safest
pneumatic pump recovery system on the market. We feel so strongly about safety, based
on years of working with the hydrocarbon industry, that it is the first section in all of our
manuals.
ATEX Certications
Equipment with an ATEX label similar to the example on
