WARNING
Hot surfaces.
sera
airPUMPs are capable of handling liquids with temperatures as high as 104ºC (220ºF).
This may cause the outer areas of the pump to become hot as well and could cause burns.
WARNING
Do not exceed 8.3 bar (120 psig) air supply.
WARNING
If a diaphragm rupture occurs, material being pumped may be forced out of the air exhaust. Proper care should be taken,
always wear protective clothing, eye protection & follow standard safety procedures.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (GENERAL)
WARNING
sera
airPUMPs maximum temperature limits are based upon the material’s mechanical stress only. Maximum temperature is
application dependent. Consult a chemical resistance guide or the chemical manufacturer for chemical compatibility and
temperature limits.
WARNING
Chemical Hazard. This pump is used for transferring many types of potentially dangerous chemicals.
Always wear protective clothing, eye protection and follow standard safety procedures when handling corrosive or
personally harmful materials. Proper procedures should be followed for draining and decontaminating the pump before
disassembly and inspection of the pump. There may be small quantities of chemicals present during inspection.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
sera
airPUMP with standard materials of construction should not be used with halogenated hydrocarbons. Halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents can cause explosion when used with aluminum components in a closed (pressurized) system. sera
airPUMPs with standard materials of construction contain aluminum components and will be affected by halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents.
1-1-1 Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride are the most common halogenated hydrocarbons. However, other haloge-
nated hydrocarbon solvents are suspect if used either as part of paint or adhesive formulation, or for clean-up flushing.
For applications that may involve halogenated hydrocarbons, contact
sera
to discuss the availability of alternative pump
materials of construction.
