TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.
•
Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
•
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 the exhaust air safely, away from people, animals, and food handling areas. If
the diaphragm fails, the fluid is exhausted along with the air. See Air Exhaust Ventilation on
page 10.
•
To pump acids, always use a polypropylene pump. 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. Never use an acetal pump to pump acids.
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. Refer to Grounding on page 5.
•
Never use a polypropylene pump with non-conductive flammable fluids as specified by your local
fire protection code. Refer to Grounding on page 5 for additional information. Consult your fluid
supplier to determine the conductivity or resistivity of your fluid.
•
If there is any static sparking or 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
pumped.
•
Pipe and dispose of the exhaust air safely, away from all sources of ignition. If the diaphragm fails,
the fluid is exhausted along with the air. See Air Exhaust Ventilation on page 10.
