WARNING
EXCESSIVEAIR PRESSURE. Can cause personĆ
al injury,pump damage or property damage.
Donot exceed themaximum inlet air pressure as stated on the
pump model plate.
Besure material hoses and other components are able to withĆ
stand fluid pressures developed by this pump. Check all
hoses for damage or wear. Be certain dispensing device is
clean and in proper working condition.
WARNING STATICSPARK. Can cause explosion resulting
insevere injury or death. Ground pump and pumping system.
Use the pump grounding screw terminal provided. Use Aro
PartNo. 66885-1 Ground Kit or connect a suitable ground wire
(12ga. min.) to a good earth ground source.
Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid
vibration and generation of contact or static spark.
Consultlocal building codes and electrical codes for specific
grounding requirements.
After grounding, periodically verify continuity of electrical
pathto ground. Test with an ohmmeter from each component
(e.g., hoses, pump, clamps, container, spray gun, etc.) to
ground to insure continuity. Ohmmeter should show 100
ohms or less.
Submerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or devicein
the material being dispensed if possible. (Avoidfree streamĆ
ing of material being dispensed.)
Usehoses incorporating a static wire.
Use proper ventilation.
Keepinflammables away from heat, open flames and sparks.
Keep containers closed when not in use.
WARNING Pump exhaust may contain contaminants. Can
cause severe injury.Pipe exhaust away from work area and
personnel.
Inthe event of a diaphragmrupture material can be forced out
ofthe air exhaust muffler.
Pipethe exhaust to a safe remote location when pumping hazĆ
ardous or inflammable materials.
Use a grounded 1" min. i.d. hose between the pump and the
muffler.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Can result inserious
injury or property damage. Do not service or clean pump,
hoses or dispensing valve while the system is pressurized.
Disconnectair supply line and relieve pressure from the sysĆ
tem by opening dispensing valve or device and/or carefully
andslowly loosening and removing outlet hose or piping from
pump.
WARNING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Can cause serious
injuryor property damage. Do not attempt to return a pump to
thefactory or service center that contains hazardous material.
Safe handling practices must comply with local and national
lawsand safety code requirements.
Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials from the
supplier for proper handling instructions.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD. Models containing aluĆ
minum wetted parts cannot be used with III.-Trichloroethane,
Methylene Chloride or other Halogenated Hydrocarbon solĆ
ventswhich may react and explode.
Check pump motor section, fluid caps, manifolds and all
wetted parts to assure compatibility before using with solĆ
ventsof this type.
WARNING
MISAPPLICATION HAZARD. Do not use models
containingaluminum wetted parts with food products for huĆ
manconsumption. Plated parts can contain trace amounts of
lead.
CAUTION Verify the chemical compatibility of the pump
wettedparts and the substance being pumped, flushed or reĆ
circulated.Chemical compatibility may change with temperaĆ
ture and concentration of the chemical(s) within the
substancesbeing pumped, flushed or circulated. Consult the
materialmanufacturer and ARO Form No. 8677-P, Fluid ComĆ
patibility Guide, for information on chemical compatibility.
CAUTION
Maximumtemperatures are based on mechaniĆ
cal stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly reduce
maximumsafe operating temperature. Consult Fluid CompatiĆ
bilityGuide for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
Referto PUMP DATA on page 1 of this manual.
CAUTION Be certain all operators of this equipment have
beentrained for safe working practices, understand it's limitaĆ
tions, and wear safety goggles/equipment when required.
CAUTION
Donot use the pump for the structural support of
the piping system. Be certain the system components are
properlysupported to prevent stress on the pump parts.
Suction and discharge connections should be flexible conĆ
nections(such as hose), not rigid piped, and should be comĆ
patible with the substance being pumped.
CAUTION Prevent unnecessary damage to the pump. Do
notallow pump to operate when out of material for long periĆ
ods of time.
Disconnectair line from pump when system sits idle for long
periods of time.
CAUTION
Useonly genuine ARO replacement parts to asĆ
surecompatible pressure rating and longest service life.
