SAFETY

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 completely 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 the pump against a
closed discharge valve for long periods
of time. If operated against a closed dis­
charge valve, pump components will
deteriorate, and the liquid could come
to a boil, build pressure, and cause the
pump casing to rupture or explode.

Use lifting and moving equipment in
good repair and with adequate capacity
to prevent injuries to personnel or dam­
age to equipment. Suction and dis­
charge hoses and piping must be re­
moved from the pump before lifting.

Never run this pump backwards. Be cer­
tain that rotation is correct before fully
engaging the pump.

Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
