DESCRIPTION AND USES
Hypro Diaphragm pumps are intended for creating or boosting
dynamic pressure for non-food purposes with clean and
approved fluids in a watery solution which are compatible with
the materials of the pump at temperatures between 45° to 140°F
[7° to 60°C].
INTENDED USES
Hypro pressure diaphragm pumps are recommended for
spraying herbicides, pesticides, liquid fertilizers, and many
other hard to handle fluids. Low-cost maintenance and almost
wear-free operation make these pumps ideal for a wide variety
of spraying jobs. Pressure and output are designed for optimum
performance of small to large-sized sprayers.
Any uses outside of those specified in this manual are
considered misuses and are prohibited. Contact Hypro technical
service with any questions regarding specific acceptable uses.
The pump cannot be used with:
Watery solutions whose viscosity and density exceed those
of water.
Chemical solutions for which compatibility with the
materials the pump is made is not known.
Sea water or water with a high concentration of salt.
Fuels and lubricants of all kinds and types.
Inflammable liquids or liquefied gases.
Food-grade liquids.
Solvents and diluents of all kinds and types.
Paints of all kinds and types.
Liquids at temperatures lower than 7°C or higher than 60°C.
Liquids containing granules or solids in suspension.
The pump must not be used in places where there are
particular conditions, such as corrosive or explosive
atmospheres, for example.
MISUSES
Hypro centrifugal pumps are designed to operate effectively
within the specified speed, pressure and environmental ranges.
Going outside of these ranges will void the warranty and could
cause damage to property, serious injury, or death.
Do not run the pump faster than the maximum specified
speed.
Do not run the pump higher than the maximum specified
pressure.
Do not run pumps when the liquid has exceeded the
maximum or minimum temperature limit.
Do not pump non-approved liquids.
Do not pump water or other liquids for human consumption.
Do not operate any Hypro pump under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
Do not run the pump dry.
Do not run the pump hydraulic motor higher than the
specified RPM, pressure or flow.
Do not run the pump without adequate suction filter.
