WARNING
This pump is not intended to pump corrosive, pyrophoric, particulate-forming
gases or gas mixtures in their flammable and/or combustible range.
• Install in an area that is not exposed to rain, steam, or excessive humidity.
They can cause electric shock, short circuits, and severe bodily injury.
• Before reconfiguring the pump voltage, or inspecting or servicing the pump,
be sure the electrical supply is disconnected.
• The gas ballast must be sealed whenever pumping any gas not intended to be
vented to the atmosphere.
