COVERING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & PLACING INTO SERVICE
AIR / HYDRAULIC OPERATED PISTON PUMPS
It is the responsibility of the employer to place this information into the hands of the operator.
A piston pump is a motor driven reciprocating plunger pump used to move a fluid media. Any other use
may cause equipment damage and / or serious injury or death.
READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW THIS INFORMATION TO AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
EXCESSIVE INLET PRESSURE
STATIC SPARK
EXPLOSION HAZARD
All piston pump models listed in the Declaration of Conformity
(located near the end of the manual) conform to the requirements
of the EU "Machinery Directive". Additionally, some models con-
form to the EU "ATEX Directive" and may be used in some poten-
tially explosive atmospheres as defined by
when the special conditions listed below under the section "Spe-
cial Conditions for Pumps in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres"
are followed. The ATEX-conforming models are listed on the Dec-
laration of Conformity that includes both the Machinery and ATEX
directives in the section titled "This product complies with the
following European Community Directives". Piston pump mod-
els listed in the Declaration of Conformity which ONLY conform
to the EU "Machinery Directive" are NOT to be used in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
You must read and follow the detailed explanation of these
hazards and follow the appropriate instructions noted in this
manual for safe installation and operation.
SAFETY INFORMATION - EXPLANATION OF
SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol,
indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related
to personal injury.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR PUMPS IN
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (ATEX)
WARNING Non-compliance with any of these special
conditions could create an ignition source that may ignite
any potentially explosive atmospheres.
Only pump models conforming to the EU "ATEX Directive"
z
should be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
WARNING DUST IGNITION HAZARD. Certain dusts may
ignite at pump surface temperature limits. Ensure proper
housekeeping to eliminate dust buildup on the pump.
WARNING STATIC SPARK. Can cause explosion resulting in
severe injury or death. Ground pump and pumping system.
Sparks can ignite flammable material and vapors.
z
The pumping system and object being sprayed must be
z
grounded when it is pumping, flushing, recirculating or
spraying flammable materials such as paints, solvents, lac-
quers, etc. or used in a location where surrounding atmo-
sphere is conducive to spontaneous combustion. Ground
the dispensing valve or device, containers, hoses and any
object to which material is being pumped.
Use the pump grounding lug provided on metallic pumps
z
for connection of a ground wire to a good earth ground
source. Use Aro Part No. 66885-1 Ground Kit or a suitable
ground wire (12 ga. / 2.6 mm min.).

GENERAL INFORMATION
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE
Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid
z
vibration and generation of contact or static spark.
Consult local building codes and electrical codes for specif-
z
ic grounding requirements.
After grounding, periodically verify continuity of electrical
z
path to ground. Test with an ohmmeter from each component
(e.g., hoses, pump, clamps, container, spray gun, etc.) to ground
to insure continuity. Ohmmeter should show 0.1 ohms or less.
Submerse the outlet hose end, dispensing valve or device
z
in the material being dispensed if possible. (Avoid free
streaming of material being dispensed.)
Use hoses incorporating a static wire or use groundable
z
piping.
Use a grounded exhaust hose between the pump and the
z
muffler.
Use proper ventilation.
z
Keep flammables away from heat, open flames and sparks.
z
Keep containers closed when not in use.
z
WARNING
MAXIMUM SURFACE TEMPERATURE LIMITS.
High surface temperatures may ignite potentially
explosive gases or dust in contact with the pump.
BARREL PUMPS AND CONTAINERS. Pumping
WARNING
potentially explosive materials with barrel pumps from
containers can create an explosive atmosphere inside the
container.
Containers musts be sealed and an inert gas media must
z
be pumped into the container to fill the void.
Barrel pumps must never be run dry.
z
WARNING
If elevated temperatures or elevated vibration
levels are detected, shut the pump off and discontinue its
use until it can be inspected and/or repaired.
WARNING
Do not perform maintenance or repairs in an
area where explosive atmospheres are present.
WARNING
UPPER PACKING GLAND LEAKS CAN OCCUR.
Potentially explosive materials and vapors can be emitted
into the atmosphere. Upper packing glands must be
inspected daily.
Piston pumps with adjustable packing glands – gland
z
packings must be tightened if leakage is noted. Gland
packings must be replaced if adjustment does not stop
leakage.
Piston pumps with non-adjustable packing glands – gland
z
packings must be replaced if leakage is noted.
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Models containing alu-
WARNING
minum wetted parts cannot be used with 1,1,1-trichlo-
roethane, methylene chloride or other halogenated hy-
drocarbon solvents which may react and explode.
Check the pump wetted parts for compatibility before us-
z
ing with solvents of this type.
