FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in
fire or explosion and serious injury.
•
Ground the equipment. See motor installation instruction for grounding procedure.
•
Do not pump non recommended flammable or explosive fluids.
•
Static electricity may generate by fluid moving through pipes and hoses. A static spark could
be produced by high fluid flow rates. Grounding of the pump is a must.
•
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the possible buildup of flammable fumes from the
process chemicals.
•
Keep the pump area free of debris, including cleaning agent, rags, and any flammable material.
•
Follow the cleaning agent and other cleaning recommendations as mentioned in the operation
and instruction manuals.
•
Use cleaning agent with the highest possible flash point to clean the pump parts if needed.
•
If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop operation at once. Identify and
correct the problem before starting up the pump.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in eyes or on the skin,
swallowed, or inhaled.
•
Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufactures warnings.
•
Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all
local, state and national guidelines.
•
Wear the appropriate protective clothing, gloves, eyewear and respirator.
•
Pipe and dispose of the exhaust air safely. If diaphragm fails, the fluid may be exhausted along
with the air in mechanical diaphragm pump.
SOUND HAZARD
The sound pressure level of the pump may exceed 80dBA in some pumps.
•
Observe all safety precautions when operating the pump within close proximity for extended
periods by wearing hearing protectors.
•
Extended exposure to elevated sound levels will result in permanent loss of hearing acuteness,
tinnitus, tiredness, stress, and other effects such as loss of balance and awareness.
MECHANICAL HAZARD
The pump may shake or vibrate during operation.
•
Vibration could occur due to loose mechanical component and foundation bolts, causing
piping rupture and leakage of chemical to cause bodily injury. The pump should be bolted
down to the base during operation.
•
Pump may overturn when being transported if the motor is too heavy. Secure the pump on its
base before transportation.
