HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE
EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause
personal injury, pump damage or property damage.
yDo not exceed the maximum inlet air pressure as stated
on the pump model plate.
yBe sure material hoses and other components are
able to withstand fluid pressures developed by this
pump. Check all hoses for damage or wear. Be certain
dispensing device is clean and in proper working
condition.
STATIC SPARK. Can cause explosion
resulting in severe injury or death. Ground pump and
pumping system.
ySparks can ignite ammable material and vapors.
yThe pumping system and object being sprayed
must be grounded when it is pumping, flushing,
recirculating or spraying flammable materials such
as paints, solvents, lacquers, etc. or used in a loca-
tion where surrounding atmosphere is conducive to
spontaneous combustion. Ground the dispensing
valve or device, containers, hoses and any object to
which material is being pumped.
yUse the pump grounding screw terminal provided.
Use ARO part no. 66885-1 ground kit or connect a
suitable ground wire (12 ga. minimum) to a good
earth ground source.
ySecure pump, connections and all contact points to
avoid vibration and generation of contact or static spark.
yConsult local building codes and electrical codes for
specic grounding requirements.
yAfter grounding, periodically verify continuity of
electrical path to ground. Test with an ohmmeter
from each component (e.g., hoses, pump, clamps,
container, spray gun, etc.) to ground to ensure
continuity. Ohmmeter should show 0.1 ohms or less.
ySubmerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or
device in the material being dispensed if possible.
(Avoid free streaming of material being dispensed.)
yUse hoses incorporating a static wire.
yUse proper ventilation.
yKeep inammables away from heat, open ames and
sparks.
yKeep containers closed when not in use.
Pump exhaust may contain contaminants.
Can cause severe injury. Pipe exhaust away from work
are and personnel.
yIn the event of a diaphragm rupture, material can be
forced out of the air exhaust muer.
yPipe the exhaust to a safe remote location when
pumping hazardous or inammable materials.
yUse a grounded 3/8" minimum ID hose between the
pump and the muer.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Can result in
serious injury or property damage. Do not service
or clean pump, hoses or dispensing valve while the
system is pressurized.
yDisconnect air supply line and relieve pressure from
the system by opening dispensing valve or device
and / or carefully and slowly loosening and removing
outlet hose or piping from pump.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Can cause
serious injury or property damage. Do not attempt
to return a pump to the factory or service center that
contains hazardous material. Safe handling practices
must comply with local and national laws and safety
code requirements.
yObtain Material Safety Data Sheets on all materials
from the supplier for proper handling instructions.
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Models containing
aluminum wetted parts cannot be used with 1,1,1-
trichloroethane, methylene chloride or other
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents which may react
and explode.
yCheck pump motor section, uid caps, manifolds and
all wetted parts to assure compatibility before using
with solvents of this type.
Verify the chemical compatibility of the
pump wetted parts and the substance being pumped,
flushed or recirculated. Chemical compatibility may
change with temperature and concentration of the
chemical(s) within the substances being pumped,
ushed or circulated. For specic uid compatibility,
consult the chemical manufacturer.
Maximum temperatures are based
on mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals will
significantly reduce maximum safe operating
temperature. Consult the chemical manufacturer for
chemical compatibility and temperature limits. Refer
to PUMP DATA on page 1 of this manual.
Be certain all operators of this equipment
have been trained for safe working practices,
understand it’s limitations, and wear safety goggles /
equipment when required.
Do not use the pump for the structural
support of the piping system. Be certain the system
components are properly supported to prevent stress
on the pump parts.
ySuction and discharge connections should be exible
connections (such as hose), not rigid piped, and should
be compatible with the substance being pumped.
Prevent unnecessary damage to the
pump. Do not allow pump to operate when out of
material for long periods of time.
yDisconnect air line from pump when system sits idle
for long periods of time.
Use only genuine ARO replacement parts
to assure compatible pressure rating and longest
service life.
Replacement warning labels are
available upon request: “Static Spark” (93616-1) and
“Diaphragm Rupture” (93122).
