5.6 Ground the pump as shown below
5.6.1 For the pump:
Use a conductor (for grounding) with a cross-
section of at least 1.5 mm
2
. Connect the conductor to the pump’s
leg as shown on Fig. 7, and the other end to the grounding line.
5.6.2 For air or fluid hoses
: Use hoses that are at most 150 m long
and that can be grounded.
CAUTION !
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump
and all other equipment used or located in the
pumping area.

5.7. Ventilating exhaust air
You must vent the exhaust to a safe place, away from people, animals, food, and all sources of
ignition when pumping flammable or hazardous fluids. Note that when there is a tear or rupture
in the diaphragm, the media in the pump will be exhausted together with the air. To avoid this,
exhaust the gas away from the operation environment. The pump exhaust air may contain
contaminants. Ventilate to a remote area if the contaminants could affect your process.
When transferring hazardous fluids, follow the steps below:
1-
Remove the muffler from the exhaust port.
2-
Install a conductive and grounded air exhaust hose with the minimum diameter of 1 inch 25
mm ID.If a hose longer than 4.5 m is required, use a larger diameter hose. Avoid bending the
hose sharply.
3-
Place a suitable conductive container at the end of exhaust hose to catch the fluid in case
diaphragm ruptures.
