SAFETY
Safety has been a prime consideration when designing the AutoPump System. The AutoPump
System safety features are listed below. Please do not attempt to circumvent the safety features
of this system.
We have also listed some possible hazards involved when applying this system to site remediation.
Nothing will protect you as much as understanding the system, the site at which it is being used,
and the careful handling of all the equipment and fluids. If you have any questions, please contact
the QED Service Department for guidance.
A Partial List of Safety Procedures
These safety procedures should be followed at all times when operating QED equipment on or off
site, and should be considered as warnings:
WARNING: The air compressor and any other electrical equipment used with this pneu-
matic system must be positioned outside of any area considered hazardous because of
possible combustible materials.
Wear safety goggles when working with the AutoPump System to protect eyes from any
splashing or pressure release.
Wear chemically resistant rubber gloves, boots and coveralls when handling the AutoPump
and fluid discharge hose to avoid skin contact with the fluid being recovered.
Point all hoses away from personnel and equipment when connecting or disconnecting.
Always ensure that the fluid discharge hose is connected before the air hose to prevent
accidental discharge.
