• The pumps transferring inammable and ammable uids should be grounded against static
electricity (see page 4, gure 1).
• Do not transfer non-conductor inammable uids with non-conductor pump body materials
(polypropylene, PVDF).
• If you encounter any electric shock or sparks while using the pump and equipment, stop the
pump. Do not operate the pump without being sure that problem was resolved.
• If uid transfer is made to the diaphragm pump and it is in a closed environment, ventilate the
environment.
• Carry air outlet to a secure environment with pipe. In case of diaphragm explosion, since
ammable material will move out with pressurized air, some accidents will be prevented (see
page 7, gure 3).
• Do not smoke in an area where pump is installed and do not use lighter, do not weld .
• The pipe, connected to suction line during inammable and explosive uid transfer in
diaphragm pump, should not be exible. Otherwise, vacuum created by the diaphragm pump
during suction may cause that pipe bends and it may also stop uid suction. Besides, there
may be tears in the pipe whose surfaces stick together due to vacuum. These tears may cause
that inammable and explosive uid leaks outside.
• Use protective clothes, protective goggles and face mask in installation or repair of the pump
making inammable and explosive uid transfer.
• Take necessary safety precautions when inammable and explosive uid transfer will be made
with the diaphragm pump or transfer uid temperature is 80°C and above.
Installation in non-ventilated environments and proper grounding of the pumps that
are used in transfer of uids having re and explosion danger may cause dangerous
situations. In this case, there may be serious injuries or even deaths.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
The pump is delivered to user without equipment. The user is obliged to supply protective
equipment and transfer equipment.
Internal parts of the pumps sent to the manufacturer company or authorized dealer for service should be emptied
in a way not to damage environment and package. The manufacturer or authorized dealer should be notied about
uid when pumps via which dangerous, explosive, and inammable uid hazardous on human health is transferred.
The company using pump is responsible for injuries and even deaths that may occur.
