PAGE A − 2 SAFETY
After the vehicle is positioned for pump
maintenance, block the wheels and set
the emergency brake before attempting
to disconnect the drive shaft or remove
the pump. Be sure the pump is properly
reinstalled and secure before opera-
tion.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Limit the maximum input
speed and operation range as indicated
on the performance curves on Page E-1.
The gearbox provided on this pump is
designed for operation at a maximum in-
put speed of 1850 RPM. If operated at a
higher RPM, pump components may be
destroyed.
Never run the pump dry of pumping me-
dium. There must be a supply of liquid to
the pump at all times to prevent destruction
of the shaft seal faces.
