General Safety
Because this pump can be
incorporated into a pressurized
systems, the following safety
precautions should be observed.
Check equipment regularly and repair or
replace worn and damaged parts.
Never alter or modify any parts of this pump,
doing so may cause damage to pump and/or
personal injury.
Under no circumstances should the dispensing
valve be aimed at any person at any time.
Personal injury may result.
Release pressures built up in the system
before any service or repair is begun. See the
pressure relief procedure below.
Do not operate this pump above 150 PSI
(10.3 BAR) air inlet pressure or 200 cycles per
minute.
Always read and follow the uid manufacturer’s
recommendations regarding the use of
protective eyewear, clothing and respirators.
IMPORTANT
!
Pressure Relief Procedure:
Follow this procedure whenever you shut off
the pump, when checking or servicing any part
of the system and when installing, cleaning or
changing any part of the system.
1) Disconnect the air to the pump.
2) Point dispensing valve away from

WARNING
!
THIS PUMP CONTAINS
ALUMINUM AND ZINC
PARTS. DO NOT use 1-1-1
Trichloroethane, methylene chloride or other
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or uids
containing such solvents in this pump. Use
of these solvents/uids may result in a
violent chemical reaction, causing serious
bodily injury, property damage or death. All
uids used in this pump must be chemically
compatible with the wetted parts materials
shown on page two (2) of this manual.
Consult your chemical supplier to ensure
compatibility.
WARNING
!
WARNING: The Panther®50:1
grease pump develops up to 7500 psi (517
Bar) maximum working pressure at 150 psi
(10.3 Bar) maximum inlet air pressure and
stall conditions. Be sure that any components
or accessories used in the system are rated
to withstand this pressure. To determine uid
output pressure at stall conditions, multiply
the ratio of the pump by the air pressure
being used.
EXAMPLE: 50:1 Pump Ratio x 100 psi air
pressure = 5000 psi uid pressure at stall.
WARNING
!
DANGER: Not for use with
fluids that have a flash point
below 100°F (38°C). Examples:
gasoline, alcohol. Sparking could
result in an explosion which could result in
death.
In the presence of explosive
vapors, take action to prevent
static sparking. Failure to
ground the pump, piping, valves, containers, or
other miscellaneous equipment can result in re or
explosion. A green grounding lug is provided on the
pump.
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
Use 3241-002 Pump Over-Run
control valve on pump air inlet for remotely
operated pumps. Failure to use this valve can
cause pump to cycle quickly when barrel is
empty of grease. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
PUMP and may void factory warranty.
Thoroughly read and understand this manual
before installing, operating or servicing the
described products.
