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 o 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 uids that
have a ash 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 fire 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.
