PAGE A - 2 SAFETY
Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injuries, and produce explo­
sive fumes. If overheating of the pump
occurs:
1. Stop the pump immediately.
2. Ventilate the area.
3. Allow the pump completely to cool.
4. Refer to instructions in this manual
before restarting the pump.
Use lifting and moving equipment in
good repair and with adequate capacity
to prevent injuries to personnel or dam­
age to equipment. The bail is intended
for use in lifting the pump assembly
only. Suction and discharge hoses and
piping must be removed from the pump
before lifting.
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.
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.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. See the performance curve,
page E-1 for the maximum continuous
operating speed for this pump.
Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
