Hazardous Substances
The operating company bears the responsibility for the use of the Piston Pump.
Hazardous substances in the gases to be pumped can cause personal injuries and
property damage. Pay attention to the warning notices for handling hazardous sub-
stances.
The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
Combustible, aggressive and explosive Gases
Don't pump combustible, especially aggressive or explosive gases or vapors or operate this
pump in an atmosphere containing combustible or explosive gases or vapors.
Examine before switching on whether that can form gas combustible gas/air mixtures which
can be promoted! Consider the regulations of the guideline 1999/92/EC.
The Piston Pump is not certified according to ATEX guidelines 94/9/EC.
The Piston Pump is not recommended for pumping acidic, basic or organic vapors.
Poisonous Gases
Use a condensate separator (eg. Woulff bottle) when pumping poisonous or harmful gases.
Prevent such substances from leaking out of the appliance or pump. Treat these substances
according to the applicable environmental protection regulations.
Test the strength and leak-tightness of the connecting lines and the connected apparatus.
Prevent environmental poisons, e.g. mercury, getting into the pump.
Fulfil the requirements, for example:
German Hazardous Substances Regulation (GefStoffV) of 01. December 2010
Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
(Classification, Packaging and Labelling of hazardous substances),
Manufacturer's safety data sheets on hazardous substances.
2.5
High Temperatures
The Piston Pump may heat up as a result of the temperature of the gas being pumped and
through compression heat.
Prevent the following maximum permissible temperatures from being exceeded.
+ 40 °C for the environment, and
+ 60 °C for the gas to be pumped.
The electric motor has a thermal overload protection.
