SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SAFE USE
WARNING: IF THIS INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR, AS WELL
!
AS DAMAGE TO ADJACENT EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES.
•
This section informs you of some considerations that you
should take into account especially when using devices in
potentially explosive atmospheres. Always read the user
manual before operating with the pump.
•
Follow the conditions of use of the equipment indicated in
the instruction manual.
•
The installation, connection, startup, maintenance and repair
work must be carried out by qualified personnel.
•
When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as
gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be aware that flammable
fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion,
avoid risks arising from static electricity by always using
conductive and grounded elements to connect the pump
(hoses, pipes, accesories, etc).
•
Be sure to ground the pump with the supplied cable,
equipped with a clamp.
•
In the presence of explosive atmospheres, keep the pump
away from it while making service tasks.
•
Clean the pump area and dust deposits regularly when
working in environments with a potential explosive
atmosphere.
•
Make sure all elements are well connected before operating
with the pump.
DESCRIPTION
Compressed air operated piston-type reciprocating pump. This pump is compatible with mineral and synthetic grease, and suitable for high volume and
medium pressure grease transfer applications.
!
WARNING! THIS EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED FOR PUMPING GREASE. DO NOT PUMP ANY OTHER FLUID.
WARNINGS - HIGH PRESSURE EQUIPMENT!
WARNING! Carefully read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels
!
before operating the equipment. This equipment is for professional
use only.
• The use of non compatible fluids may cause damage in the pump and
serious personal injury. This equipment is not intended for use with fluids
that fall within the Group 1 fluid as defined that are explosive, extremely
flammable, highly flammable, flammable, very toxic, toxic, oxidizing or
where the vapor pressure if greater than 7 psi (0,5 bar) above the pressure
atmospheric at the maximum allowable temperature.
• The pump generates HIGH PRESSURE. WARNING! Do not exceed the
maximum air inlet pressure of 100 psi (7 bar). It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
to use a pressure relief valve in the air input of the pump, set to
100 psi (7 bar) max, to avoid overpressure in the pump.
• A direct hit against the human body may result in an injury.

•
Make sure the pump is firmly fixed (to drum covers, tanks,
racks, etc.) before putting it into operation.
•
Avoid dry running the pump for a long time. If possible, the
use of probes or sensors that detect that the grease tank has
been emptied is recommended, so that the operator can stop
the pump or even automatically shut down the air supply.
•
The use of an air pressure relief valve is recommended, to
avoid accidentally exceeding the maximum operating
pressure.
•
This equipment should be maintained regularly, following the
instructions in the manual.
•
When the pump is not operating normally it should be
maintained correctly. It is the responsibility of the end user to
respect the conditions of use of the pump.
•
This equipment is designed for pumping grease, do not use
with any other fluid or material.
• This unit may have STORED PRESSURE, release all pressure and disconnect from
any fluid systems before servicing. To ensure safe operation of this unit, all
service work should be by qualified personnel only.
• When not in use, be sure to shut off the air supply to avoid accidents.
• Do not alter or modify this equipment. Use only Samoa Industrial, S.A.
genuine components. Any unauthorized tampering with this equipment,
improper use, poor maintenance or removal of identification labels may
invalidate the guarantee.
• All fittings in the system connected to the outlet of the pump should be
suitable for the maximum possible pressure generated by the pump/air
motor. If the systems cannot be designed to take the maximum pressure
produced by the pump, safety valves or diverter valves should be fitted.
