PAGE A − 2 WARNINGS
Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injuries. If overheating of the
pump occurs:
1. Stop the pump immediately.
2. Ventilate the area.
3. Allow the pump to completey cool.
4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates,
gauges, or plugs.
5. Vent the pump slowly and cau-
tiously.
6. Refer to instructions in this manual
before restarting the pump.
Do not operate an internal combustion
engine in an explosive atmosphere.
When operating internal combustion
engines in an enclosed area, make cer-
tain that exhaust fumes are piped to the
outside. These fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas that is color-
less, tasteless, and odorless.
Fuel used by internal combustion en-
gines presents an extreme explosion
and fire hazard. Make certain that all
fuel lines are securely connected and
free of leaks. Never refuel a hot or run-
ning engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel
tank. Always use the correct type of fuel.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Refer to the performance
curve, page E−1, for the maximum con-
tinuous operating speed for this pump.
Pumps and related equipment must be in-
stalled and operated according to all na-
tional, local and industry standards.
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,
pipe plugs, or fittings from an over-
heated pump. vapor pressure within the
pump can cause parts being disen-
gaged to be ejected with great force. Al-
low the pump to completely cool before
servicing.
