WARNINGS, CAUTIONS & NOTICES

Please read all cautions, warnings and notes
completely before installation and start-up.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to retain this

WARNINGS

To prevent static sparking the pump, piping,
valves, and containers must be grounded.

CAUTIONS

You must check the tightness of all hardware
prior to installation.

Maximum temperature limits are based on
mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals

will signicantly reduce maximum safe operating

temperatures. For chemical compatibility and temperature limits
please refer to the Chemical Resistance Guide.

Check temperature limits for all wetted
components when choosing pump materials.

Temperature limits may vary depending on the material.

manual for reference. Failure to comply with the
recommendations stated in this manual may damage
the pump and void the factory warranty.

Pump exhaust may contain contaminants that
can cause serious injury. Take precautions
to pipe exhaust away from work area if pumping

chemicals, hazardous or ammable materials.

Do not exceed the maximum inlet air pressure
as stated on the pump model tag.

Disconnect the compressed air line to the
pump and allow all air pressure to bleed
from pump prior to performing any maintenance
on the pump. Disconnect all intake, discharge and

air lines. Drain the pump and dispose of uid into a

suitable container.

All operators of the equipment should
be properly trained to ensure safe working
practices.

The process uid and cleaning uids must be
chemically compatible with all wetted pump
components. Please refer to the Chemical Resistance Guide for

additional information.

Thoroughly ush pump before installing into
process lines. FDA and sanitary approved pumps should

be cleaned or sanitized before use.

NOTICES

Blow out air line for at least 15 seconds
before attaching to pump to make sure that all debris

is removed. Use an in-line air lter.

Clamp style pumps tted with PTFE or XLTPE
come standard from the factory with expanded PTFE liquid
chamber gaskets. PTFE gaskets cannot

be reused.

Tighten both outer pistons at the same
time to ensure a tight t when installing
PTFE diaphragms. See torque settings for additional details.

Never allow the piping system to be supported
by the pump manifolds or valve housing. These

components are not designed to support structural weight and pump
failure may result..

Noise levels can exceed 85 dBA.

Always wear ear and eye protection when
operating or repairing pumps.

Compressed air should not be applied to
the exhaust port. If this happens the pump will not

function.

Before disassembly of clamp band pumps,

mark a line from each liquid chamber to its
corresponding air chamber. This will ensure proper

alignment when reassembling.

The pump does not require continuous
lubrication.
