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.
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 0,5 bar (7 psi)
above the pressure atmospheric at the maximum allowable
temperature.
• The pump generates HIGH PRESSURE. WARNING! Do not exceed the
maximum air inlet pressure of 7 bar (100 psi). It is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED to use a pressure relief valve in the air input of the
pump, set to 7 bar (100 psi) max, to avoid overpressure in the pump.

•
Make sure all elements are well connected before operating with
the pump.
•
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.
• A direct hit against the human body may result in an injury.
• 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.
