WARNING:
Vent dangerous gases and gas mixtures safely. Do not expose people to these gases. If
pumping hazardous gases or vapours, observe the safety recommendaons of the supplier
of the gas/vapour.
WARNING:
Do not use the pump to pump pyrophoric or explosive gas mixtures as it is not suitable for
this purpose. The pump and its connecons are not designed to contain an explosion.
WARNING:
In the interstage version of the pumps, gas pumped through the interstage port will mix
with gas pumped through the pump inlet. Ensure that the gases will not react or combine
to form dangerous gases and substances.
