Safety information
WARNING!
Warning of hazardous feed chemical
Should a dangerous feed chemical be used: it may
escape from the hydraulic components when working on
the pump, material failure or incorrect handling of the
pump.
– Take appropriate protective measures before
working on the pump (e.g. safety glasses, safety
gloves, ...). Adhere to the material safety data sheet
for the feed chemical.
– Drain and flush the liquid end before working on the
pump.
WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous substances
that you have read the latest safety data sheets provided
by the manufacture of the hazardous substance. The
actions required are described in the safety data sheet.
Check the safety data sheet regularly and replace, if
necessary, as the hazard potential of a substance can
be re-evaluated at any time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring that
these safety data sheets are available and that they are
kept up to date, as well as for producing an associated
hazard assessment for the workstations affected.
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying around
Feed chemical may spray out of the hydraulic compo‐
nents if they are tampered with or opened due to pres‐
sure in the liquid end and adjacent parts of the system.
– Disconnect the pump from the mains power supply
and ensure that it cannot be switched on again by
unauthorised persons.
– Ensure that the system is at atmospheric pressure
before commencing any work on hydraulic parts of
the system.
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying around
An unsuitable feed chemical can damage the parts of
the pump that come into contact with the chemical.
– Take into account the resistance of the wetted mate‐
rials and the ProMinent Resistance List when
selecting the feed chemical - see the ProMinent
Product Catalogue or visit ProMinent.
CAUTION!
Danger of personnel injury and material damage
The use of untested third party parts can result in per‐
sonnel injuries and material damage.
– Only fit parts to metering pumps, which have been
tested and recommended by ProMinent.
