TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
swallowed, or inhaled. When flushing the air motor or pump, keep your face away from the exhaust
port.
• Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
• Do not lift a pump under pressure. If dropped, the fluid section may rupture. Always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure in the pump manual before lifting the pump.
• Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state, and national guidelines.
• Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and respirator as recommended by the fluid
and solvent manufacturer.
• Pipe and dispose of exhaust air safely, away from people, animals, and food handling areas. If
the diaphragm fails, the fluid is exhausted along with the air. Read Exhaust Air Ventilation in
instruction manual 308981.
• Never use an acetal pump to pump acids. Take precautions to avoid acid or acid fumes from
contacting the pump housing exterior. Stainless steel parts will be damaged by exposure to acid
spills and fumes.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
• Ground all equipment and the equipment being dispensed to. Refer to Grounding in instruction
manual 308981.
• Never use a polypropylene pump with non-conductive flammable fluids as specified by your local
fire protection code. Refer to Grounding in instruction manual 308981 for more information.
Consult your fluid supplier to determine the conductivity or resistivity of your fluid.
• If you are dispensing non-conductive flammable fluids, you must use the unit with the acetal
pump, which is conductive.
• If there is any static sparking or if you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop
pumping immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being dispensed.
• Pipe and dispose of exhaust air safely, away from all sources of ignition. If the diaphragm fails,
the fluid is exhausted along with the air. Read Air Exhaust Ventilation in instruction manual
308981.
• Keep the work area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
• Electrically disconnect all equipment in the work area.
• Extinguish all open flames and pilot lights in the dispensing area.
• Do not smoke in the work area.
• Do not turn on or off any light switch in the work area while operating or if fumes are present.
• Do not operate a gasoline engine in the work area.
