SAFETY

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.

Fuel used by internal combustion en-

gines present an extreme explosion and

fire hazard. Make certain that all fuel

lines are securely connected and free of

leaks. Never refuel a hot or running en-

gine. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Al-

ways 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. The maximum continuous

operating speed for this pump is 2400

RPM.

Pumps and related equipment must be in-

stalled and operated according to all na-

tional, local and industry standards.
