Overheating may produce dangerous
fumes. Use extreme caution when vent-
ing the pump, or when removing covers,
plates, plugs, or fittings.
Do not operate the pump without
shields and/or guards in place over the
drive shafts, belts, and/or couplings, or
other rotating parts. Exposed rotating
parts can catch clothing, fingers, or
tools, causing severe injury to person-
nel.
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.
