Safety has been a prime consideration when designing the AutoPump System. Safety guidelines are
provided in this manual, and the AutoPump System safety features are listed below. Please do not attempt
to circumvent the safety features of this system.
We have also listed some possible hazards involved when applying this system to site remediation. Nothing
will protect you as much as understanding the system, the site at which it is being used, and the careful
handling of all equipment and fluids. If you have any questions, please contact the QED Service Department
for guidance.
As you read through this manual, you will encounter three kinds of warnings. The following examples indicate
how they appear and lists their respective purposes.
WARNING:The air compressor and any other electrical equipment used with this pneumatic system
must be positioned outside of any area considered hazardous because of possible combustible
materials.
These safety procedures should be followed at all times when operating QED equipment on or off site,
and should be considered as warnings:
Wear chemically resistant rubber gloves, boots, and coveralls when handling the AutoPump and fluid
discharge hose to avoid skin contact with the fluid being removed
The AutoPump System minimizes the potential for accidents with the following safeguards:
Wear safety goggles when working with the AutoPump System to protect eyes from any splashing or
pressure release.
Point tubing/hoses away from personnel and equipment when connecting or disconnecting.
