Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs, and respiratory tract. Central nervous system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death. In case of inhalation, remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately. 2.11.2 Fire and Explosion Hazards WARNING Diesel fuel presents a moderate fire hazard. Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame, or other source of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard. 2.11.3 Ingestion WARNING The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure, and even death. Ingestion will cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur. In case of ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties. Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated. 2.11.4 Eye Protection WARNING Safety glasses or goggles are recommended where there is a possibility of splashing or spraying. Contact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation. In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention. 17 2.11.5 Skin Protection CAUTION Contact with diesel fuel may cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Wearing gloves constructed of nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended when in close contact with diesel fuel. Chemical protective clothing should also be worn. Longterm, repeated exposure to diesel fuel may cause skin cancer. In case of contact with skin, remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. 2.11.6 Storage Precautions CAUTION Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures, and open flame. Keep trailer fill port closed because an empty tank may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld, or expose tanks to sources of ignition. Store the trailer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storage near incompatible materials. 2.11.7 U.S. Federal, State, and Local Regulatory Information SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Diesel fuel is on the EPA TSCA Inventory. Any spill or uncontrolled release of this product, including any substantial threat of release, may be subject to federal, state and/or local reporting requirements. This product may also be subject to other regulations at the state and/or local level. Always consult the regulations applicable to your area prior to operation. 18 2.12 BATTERY SAFETY 2.12.1 General Hazards SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Wear protective eye wear and gloves. DO NOT attempt to recharge a frozen battery. Remove the battery from the vehicle/equipment, bring it into a warm room, and let it thaw before charging or testing. Inspect the battery cables to make sure they are free of rust and corrosion and have no exposed wires. Never use electrical tape to cover exposed wires. Automotive lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid in the electrolyte. The acid inside the battery is highly corrosive and can burn your skin if it leaks out of the battery and gets on your skin. Acid may leak out of the battery if the case is cracked or damaged. Maintenance-free batteries should always remain in an upright position (do not turn it sideways or upside down). On equipment with a battery designed into the fuel trailer, it is usually a good idea to disconnect the battery before doing electrical repairs. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery to prevent accidental damage to onboard electronics or wiring to prevent a short circuit. 2.12.2 Ventilation Hazard SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Whenever servicing a battery, work in a well ventilated area to prevent gas buildup. 2.12.3 Shock Hazards SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Batteries only produce 12 Volts so there is NO danger of being shocked. However, 12 Volt batteries can generate several hundred amps of current, which is roughly the amount of current used by a welding arc. Do not short the battery by touching the positive or negative terminals with a metal tool. This current is capable of damaging tools, equipment, and causing personal injury. It can also cause the battery to explode. Before working around a battery, remove all jewelry, particularly rings and necklaces. The electrical charge from a battery can be transmitted through a metal tool and into a metal ring or watch. NEVER disconnect a battery when the ignition is ON in the tow vehicle, or while the engine is idling or running, as this can damage electrical and/or electronic components in the tow vehicle. 2.12.4 Explosion Hazards SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Always remove the battery’s ground cable (black) before removing the positive (red). If the negative cable is removed first, it will not be possible to inadvertently complete a circuit, thus causing electrical shock. A short circuit can occur if the positive terminal is connected to the battery and the person working with the battery comes into contact with a grounded object. Always remove the ground cable first. Do not smoke around a battery, or use anything that produces an open flame or spark. Batteries can explode. Batteries give off hydrogen gas, which is flammable and can explode if a spark occurs near the battery (as when connecting a jumper cable). 19 2.13 SIGN-OFF FORM Meridian Manufacturing Inc. follows the general Safety Standards specified by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

If any of the warnings of this bulletin are ignored serious injury or death could occur. WARNING! This pump was designed to handle volatile and flammable fluids. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion keep pump in well ventilated area free of explosive atmosphere. Do not smoke where the fuel is being handled, also keep away from any sparks or open flame. Do not operate pump with either the suction or discharge valves fully closed as this will over heat the pump. If pump becomes overheated allow to cool before next use. Do not operate the pump in a manner that it was not intended to be used. Do not continue to operate the pumping system when a known leak exists or the system starts to smoke. Do not install a piping system that does not allow for any flex due to expansion from heat generated by the pumping system. Do not continue to operate the pumping system when unusual noise or vibration occurs. Do not allow severe temperature changes to occur in a short time period within the pumping system. Do not perform service or maintenance when the pumping system is pressurized or hot. Drain pump completely before switching fuel type that is to be pumped. Do not mount pump in conditions that high piping loads exist on the pump flanges. MODELS: PO Biodiesel, Diesel and Fuel Oil. PG Gasoline, Kerosene, Avgas Jet A and JP 8 Fuel. PE Ethanol and E-85.
