Action pump 6008 Instructions for use

General Safety Information
It is the
responsibility of
the user to operate the pump in
conformance with OSHA rules for
dispensing liquids. Pump containers
should be grounded when using with
flammable liquids to avoid static
electricity. Pump should be washed out
before usage since processing
lubricants could contaminate fluids.
1.When using a hand pump (especially
when pumping flammable,
combustible or hazardous liquids)
follow all electrical and safety codes,
as well as the United States
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA), most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire
Protection, Inc. * (NFPA) Code 30
(Flammable and Combustible Code),
NFPA 56A (Standard for use of
Inhalation Anesthetics), NFPA 77
(Static Electricity), NFPA 78
(Lightning Protection Code), NFPA
80 (Standard for Fire Doors and
Windows), NFPA 251 (Standard
Method of fire Test of Building
Construction), NFPA 704
(Identification of the Fire Hazards of
Materials), other NFPA codes, local
codes and ordinances, as needed in
a particular application
2.Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
The "WARNING" statements
indicate potential hazardous
conditions for the operator or
equipment. TAKE NECESSARY STEPS
TO PROTECT PERSONNEL AND
EQUIPMENT.
NOTE: Pump should only be used with
liquids compatible with pump
component materials. Consult PUMP
CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART and
PUMP SPECIFICATIONS. Also, the
chemical supplier should be consulted
regarding any questions of chemical
compatibility, proper and safe use and
handling of chemical. Misapplication of
pump or use of noncompatible liquids
will void warranty.

General Safety Information
(Continued)
In order to
properly use this
product, familiarize yourself with this
pump and also with the liquid
(chemical, etc.) that is going to be
pumped through this unit. Although
this pump is suitable for many liquids it
is NOT suitable for all liquids!
(*) Any of the NFPA Codes can be
obtained from : National Fire Protection
Association, Inc., Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 0269, telephone [phone]-
3555. Write or call for listing and prices.
3. Pumping hazardous, flammable, or
combustible liquids should only be
done in buildings, rooms, or areas
suited for this purpose. (See NFPA
30, NFPA 78, NFPA 80, NFPA 251,
NFPA 704, other suitable NFPA
codes, OSHA, insurance companies,
local codes and ordinances.)
When filling cans,
drums, etc. with
combustible or flammable liquids, both
container pumping from and container
pumping to, should be bonded and
grounded to dissipate possible
accumulations of static electricity, and
minimize sparks caused by static
electricity (refer to NFPA 77 for
specifics and further details).
Removal of outer garments in work
areas where there may be flammable or
explosive liquids, which are ignitable
with low electrical energy, can be fatal
and/or cause property damage (refer to
NFPA 56A, and NFPA 77, for further
details).
4. The "WARNING" and instructions for
gasoline below pertain not only to
gasoline, but to any flammable,
combustible or hazardous fluid.
Gasoline is a
highly flammable
fuel. The improper use, handling or
storage of gasoline can be dangerous.
Prevent accidents by following these
safety rules:
a. Use gasoline only as a fuel, never
as a cleaning fluid.
b. Use only an approved container
to hold or store gasoline. Never
store gasoline in familiar
containers such as milk containers
or soda pop bottles.
c. Store gasoline in a cool location,
out of the reach of children. Never
store gasoline near heat or an
open flame.
d. Provide a fire extinguisher nearby
when working with gasoline. Be
sure extinguisher is in operating
condition — check the pressure
gauge or indicator. Be familiar
with its proper use. Consult local
fire department for the correct
type of extinguisher for your
application. Extinguishers rated
ABC by the National Fire
Protection Association are
appropriate for most applications.
e. Provide positive shut-off valves on
all permanent fuel supplies. Fuel
lines must be of steel piping,
adequately secured, and free from
leaks.
f. Provide adequate ventilation, and
clean up any spills when handling
or pumping flammable liquids.
g. POSITIVELY NO SMOKING!
5. Do not use torches or apply fire or
flame to this pump for any reason.
6. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will slip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
7. Do not over tighten nonmetallic
threaded fittings. One full turn past
hand tight is usually enough to
prevent leakage. Teflon sealant tape
should be used on all threaded
joints, including the spout.
8. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.
9. Periodically inspect pump and system
components. Perform routine
maintenance as required.
10. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
Any pump used to
transfer
flammable liquids must be stored in a
well ventilated area after use.
11. Personal Safety
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pump.
b. Wear a face shield, proper
apparel and suitable respiratory
equipment, when pumping
hazardous chemicals.
c. Keep work area clean,
uncluttered, and properly lighted,
replace all unused tools and
equipment.
d. Keep visitors at a safe distance
from the work area.
e. Make workshop childproof, with
padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
Failure to follow
all general safety
information can result in a fatality,
personal injury and/or property
damage!

Installation (Continued)
3. Join two lengths of extension tubing
by using tube connector (Ref. No.
17) and two clamps (Ref. No. 20).
4. Attach extension tubing to (Ref. A)
and secure with hose clamp (Ref. No.
10).
5. Insert pump into opening and hand
tighten.
6. To adjust pump delivery, unscrew
top grip (Ref. No. 1) and slide tubing
(Ref. No. 9 or Ref. No. 11) over rod
to limit pump stroke.
7. For various size drums, tubing (Ref.
No. 18) can be cut to fit specific
drum.
8. Entire pump head (Ref. No. 4) can be
rotated to desired location; when
operating the pump, you should
stand to the side or in back of the
spigot.
PAIL ADAPTER INSTALLATION
1. This adapter (Ref. No. 14) is
designed to fit senior (metal ring)
flexspout closures.
2. Screw adapter (Ref. No. 14) on male
threads at bottom of pump (Ref. No.
13). Tightly secure adapter.
3. Remove cap on FLEXSPOUT closure
and remove diaphragm (Ref. B).
Insert tube extension into side, then
snap over the other side.
4. To remove pump with adapter from
pail, pull towards side of pail and
snap off making sure to hold pail
down.
Operation
1, The pump is now ready for
operation. Liquids should begin
flowing on second or third upstroke.
If slight leakage should occur, simply
tighten packing nut (Ref. No. 2) on
top of pump.
NOTE: Tighten only enough to prevent
leakage. Excessive tightening will
damage the packing and cause more
leakage.
2. When finished pumping, place cap
(Ref. No. 16) on end spout (Ref. No.
15) to prevent dripping.
3. If pump is removed from drum, rinse
thoroughly in liquid that is
compatible with both the pump and
fluid. For questions about chemical
compatibility, contact your chemical
supplier.
Maintenance
Normal maintenance is not required. If
pump leaks at the top replace packing
gland.
