WARNING! In situations where the user foresees the possibility of exceeding the temperature limits indicated in this
manual, it is necessary to install a protection device on the equipment that prevents to achieve the maximum operating
temperature allowed. If exceeded, respect to the maximum marking temperature is not guaranteed.
REMEMBER! Safety risks to persons are mainly caused by improper use or accidental damage.
These risks may be of hand injury for operators working on the open pump, or caused by the nature of the fluids that are conveyed
by this type of pump. Therefore, it is extremely important to diligently carry out all
the instructions contained in this manual in order to eliminate the causes of accidents that may lead to the pump failure and to the
subsequent outcome of fluid hazardous to persons and to the environment.
For installation and use in a potentially explosive environment, comply with these general precautions:
• ascertain that the pump is full and if possible, that the level is above it by 0.5 m
• ascertain that the fluid treated does not contain or cannot contain large solids or solids of a dangerous shape
• ensure that the intake or delivery ports are not obstructed nor limited to avoid cavitation or pneumatic motor strain;
• also ascertain that the connection piping is strong enough and cannot be deformed by the pump weight or by the intake. Also
check that the pump is not burdened by the weight of the piping.
• if the pump is to stay in disuse for a long period of time, clean it carefully by running a non-flammable liquid detergent through it
that is compatible with the pump’s construction materials;
• if the pump was turned off for a long period of time, circulate clean water it in for some minutes to avoid incrustations
• before starting, after long periods of disuse, clean the internal and external surfaces with a damp cloth, check the grounding
ATEX ZONE;
• always protect the pump against possible collisions caused by moving objects or by various blunt materials that may damage it or
react with its materials;
• protect the pump’s surrounding ambient from splashes caused by accidental pump failure;
WARNING: the air supply pressure must never be over 7 bar or below 2 bar.
WARNING: when using the pump with aggressive or toxic liquids or with liquids that may represent a health hazard you must
install suitable protection on the pump to contain, collect and signal any spills: DANGER OF POLLUTION, CON- TAMINATION,
INJURIES AND/OR DEATH.
WARNING: the pump must not be used with fluids that are not compatible with its construction materials or in a place containing
incompatible fluids.
CAUTION: installing the pumps without on-off valves on the intake and delivery sides to intercept the product in case of spillage is
forbidden: danger of uncontrolled product spillage.
CAUTION: installing the pumps without on-off, three-way or check valves on the air supply piping to prevent the pumped liquid
from entering the pneumatic circuit if the diaphragms are broken is forbidden: danger of fluid entering the compressed air circuit
and being discharged into the environment.
WARNING: Should the user think that the temperature limits set forth in this manual may be exceeded during service, a protective
device must be installed on the system to prevent the maximum allowed process temperature from being reached. If exceeded,
respect of the maximum temperature marked cannot be guaranteed.
WARNING: The pumps must always be grounded irrespective of any organ to which they are connected. Lack of grounding or
incorrect grounding will cancel the requirements for safety and protection against the risk of
WARNING: the use of pumps made with non-conductive material, which become charged with static, and without suitable
grounding for flammable liquids is forbidden: RISK OF EXPLOSIONS DUE TO STATIC CHARGE.
CAUTION: Aggressive, toxic or dangerous liquids may cause serious injuries or damage to health, therefore it is forbidden to return
a pump containing such Products to the manufacturer or to a service center. You must empty the internal circuits from the product
first and wash and treat it.
CAUTION: Pumps containing aluminium parts or components coming into contact with the product cannot be used to pump III-
trichloroethane, methylene chloride or solvents based on other halogenated hydrocarbons: DANGER OF AN EXPLOSION
CAUSED BY A CHEMICAL REACTION.
CAUTION: The pumps PHOENIX cannot pump Acetylene, Hydrogen, Carbon disulfide
CAUTION: The components of the pneumatic exchanger, including the shaft are made from materials that are not specifically
resistant to chemical products. If the diaphragm should break, replace these elements completely if they have come into contact
with the product.
CAUTION: The air-driven motor of the PHOENIX pumps is self-lubricating and will not require any greasing. Therefore avoid using
lubricated and non-dried air.
WARNING: ascertain that during service no anomalous noise appears. In that case, stop the pump immediately. WARNING:
ascertain that the fluid at the delivery side does not contain gas. Otherwise stop the pump immediately.
WARNING: the diaphragms (in contact with the product or the external ones) are highly subject to wear. Their duration is strongly
affected by the conditions of use and by chemical and physical stress. Fields tests carried out on thousands of pumps with a head
value from 0° to 18° C have shown that normal service life exceeds one hundred million cycles. However, in places at risk of
explosion, the diaphragm must be disassembled and checked every 5 million cycles and replaced every 20 million cycles.
WARNING: Periodic controls must be made to ensure that there is no powder and/or deposits on the external and inter- nal
surfaces of the pump and, if necessary, they must be cleaned with a damp cloth.
WARNING: removal of the silencer and the air supply fitting must be done when free from powder. Before restarting the pump,
ensure that no powder has entered the pneumatic distributor.
WARNING : Protect always the site and the persons from accidental failure by installing a protection guard to old and
collect any product leakage. Danger of serious injuries and damage to health and/or objects.
To replace worn parts, use only original spare parts.
Failure to comply with the above may give rise to risks for the operator, the technicians, the persons, the pump and/or the
environment that cannot be ascribed to the manufacturer.
However five general elements are important:
A- all the operations must be carried out by skilled personnel or monitored by qualified personal as appropriate
B- implement personal protection works (when the pump is installed in places involving more than occasional visits) against
splashes of fluorescent fluid for accidental breakage and conveying works
(always) of possible fluid leakages towards collection tanks
C- wear acid-resistant clothing and protection whenever operating on the pump
D- make sure that the Intake and delivery valves are correctly closed during the disassembly
E- make sure that there is no supply to the pneumatic circuit during the disassembly
