ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, at right,
before cleaning, removing or servicing any system equipment. 1. Shut off the air to the pump.

NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body. 2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in your
system).
Keep your hands away from the end of any drain valve in the
system when opening it. 3. Open any drain valves used in your system, having a con-

FlRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD :,% k% :
Static electricity is created by the high velocity flow of fluid
through the pump and hose or plumbing line. If every part of
the system is not properly grounded, sparking may occur, and
the system may become hazardous. Sparking may also occur
when plugging in or unplugging a power supply cord. Sparks
can ignite fumes from solvents and the fluid, dust particles
and other flammable substances, whether you are indoors or
outdoors, and can cause a fire or explosion and serious bodily
injury and property damage.
If you experience any static sparking or even a slight shock
while using this equipment, SHUT OFF THE PUMP IM-
MEDIATELY. Check the entire system for positive grounding.
Do not use the system again until the problem has been iden-
tified and corrected.
Grounding
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and all
other components used or located in the area. CHECK your
local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for
your area and type of equipment and be sure to ground all of To ground the pump, loosen the grounding lug locknut (A)

MOVING PARTS HAZARD


Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers or other
body parts. NEVER operate the pump with the air motor shield
removed. KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or
operating the pump. Before checking or servicing the pump,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 2 to prevent
the pump from starting accidentally.

Flush Pump Before Using


Pumps are tested with lightweight oil which is left in to
protect pump parts. To prevent contamination of fluid,
flush the pump with a compatible solvent before using it.
