Translation of Original Instructions - FullFlow rev. 2022 Chapter 3 - Warnings and Requirements SAFETY RULES The Original Instructions must always be available to operators. Dangerous or hazardous practices or practice not complying with the Safety Rules and with the recommendations contained herein, may cause material damage, serious injuries and in extreme cases even death for which the Manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
Page 25
Chapter 3 - Warnings and Requirements Translation of Original Instructions - FullFlow rev. 2022 3.1.8 It is always necessary to thoroughly check the suitability of the chemical compatibility and temperature of the fluid to be pumped (if necessary, by subjecting it to prolonged tests) before installing and using the pump.
Page 26
Translation of Original Instructions - FullFlow rev. 2022 Chapter 3 - Warnings and Requirements CAUTION: risk of diaphragm breakage and product leakage In addition to determining poor efficiency and performance, the presence of flow rate points lower than the nominal values of the pump along the product circuit ducts, upstream and downstream of the pump, can prematurely wear the diaphragms and/or cause breakage.
Page 27
Chapter 3 - Warnings and Requirements Translation of Original Instructions - FullFlow rev. 2022 3.1.22 The pneumatic exchanger components (shaft included) are built with materials that are not specifically resistant to chemical and corrosive products; if the diaphragms brake, the fluid can enter the pneumatic exchanger and the environment through the discharge circuit and damage the components.
