DO NOT place oil-less air pump in an area that cannot GUARANTEE clean Grade D breathable air, per OSHA 29
CFR 1910.134 to the AABA inlet. See below for Grade D requirements.
DO NOT attempt to service the air pump while it is running or while it is connected to electrical or air power.
DO NOT oil or lubricate the pump.
DO NOT kink power cord and never allow the cord to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
DO NOT use ungrounded electrical receptacles.
DO NOT use undersized electrical extension cords or wiring.
DO NOT use the pump as an air-filtering device for vapors, gases, or particulates.
DO NOT start pump without respirator(s) and hose(s) connected to pump.
DO NOT use Vortex type cooled respirators with Allegro pumps.
DO check all airline hoses for weakness and wear before use.
DO Ensure that all hose and plumbing connections are secure.
DO Ensure that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
DO remove aluminum canister on exhaust filter assembly and check that exhaust filter is firmly seated in
place before startup.
AIR DRIVEN PUMP: (P/N 9850)
DO NOT attempt to service the air pump or air motor while it is in operation, and air source connected.
DO NOT run air motor with less than 75 cfm at 80 psi.
DO NOT run air motor with dirty particulate filter.
DO run air motor with inline lubrication properly filled and adjusted.
DO make sure that the air pressure and volume conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
EXPLOSION PROOF PUMP: (P/N 9833)
DO NOT remove plug or cord from motor. Hazardous location plug and receptacle must be used at all times.
DO NOT place pump’s inlet filter (or extension) in a hazardous location.
