Pump Activation and Fuel <br />Transfer <br />- Fire/Explosion <br />- High Pressure Air <br />- Improperly connected hose <br />- Inhalation of Hazardous <br />Vapors/Gases <br />- Leaks / Spills <br />- Skin Contact <br />1. Use a (4) Gas Meter to monitor fuels vapors, verify that the <br />fuel discharge hose is grounded and bonded properly prior to <br />activation, flowing fuel can generate static electricity, which can <br />ignite the vapors if not properly grounded. <br />2.Be aware that pneumatic pump operates under high pressure, <br />which can cause hose or fitting failures, leading to leaks or <br />bursts. Aim hoses away from yourself, do not place your face in <br />the line-of fire. <br />3. Verify that the fuel inlet hose is placed into the fuel supply <br />adequately, check the fuel discharge hose end to ensure it is <br />secure and will not fall out during operation and create a spill. <br />4. If VOCs are detected between 10-50 ppm don an air purifying <br />respirator (APR) with organic vapor cartridges. <br />5. Do not leave pump unattended while operating, keep a spill <br />kit readily available in the work area. <br />6. Wear long sleeves, goggles and nitrile gloves as fuel can <br />cause skin irritation, burns, or dermatitis upon contact. <br />H <br />NC-25-1137 Tiwana & Sons <br />1210 East Hammer Lane, Stockton, CA 95210
