IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ATEX PUMPS
Export Information
Chemical Reaction Disclaimer
Unpacking & Inspection
U.S. Export Administration Regulations, pursuant to ECCN 2B350, prohibit the export or re-export to certain enumerated
countries of air operated double diaphragm pumps in which all wetted materials are constructed from fluoropolymers without
first applying for and obtaining a license from the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security(BIS). This affects all sera airPUMP
pumps constructed from PVDF with PTFE balls and diaphragms.
The user must exercise primary responsibility in selecting the product’s materials of construction which are compatible with the
fluid(s) that come(s) in contact with the product. The user may consult a manufacturer’s representative/distributor agent to seek
a recommendation of the product’s material of construction that offers the optimum available chemical compatibility.
However neither manufacturer nor agent shall be liable for product damage or failure, injuries, or any other damage or loss
arising out of a reaction, interaction or any chemical effect that occurs between the materials of the product’s construction and
fluids that come into contact with the product’s components.
Unpack the pump and examine for any signs of shipping damage.
If damage is detected, save the packaging and notify the carrier immediately.
To install the pump, follow the installation instructions provided.
WARNING
READ THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INSERT COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS PUMP� FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH�
WARNING
Static sparking can cause explosion. When operating in a hazardous area or pumping a hazardous fluid, the pump’s
grounding screw and entire pump system must be grounded to earth to prevent static discharge. This includes but is not li-
mited to pipes, hoses, tanks, containers, valves, etc. Before operating the pump, ensure the electrical continuity throughout
the pumping system and earth ground is 1 Ohm or less. If it is greater than 1 Ohm, re-check all grounding connections.
WARNING
Static sparking can cause explosion. Excessive fluid flow rates and improper tank filling methods can produce static
electricity causing an explosion. Ensure safe fluid velocities and tank filling procedures in compliance with EN 13463-1
and CLC/TR 50404.
WARNING
Vibrations from operation may cause mounting surfaces and connections to loosen and generate a spark.
Ensure the pump and connections are securely mounted and fastened prior to each operation.
