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.
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 running en­
gine. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Al­
ways 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. The maximum continuous
operating speed for this pump is 1950
RPM.
Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
Do not attempt to disengage any part of
an overheated pump unit. Vapor pres­
sure within the pump casing can eject
these parts with great force when they
are disengaged. Allow the pump to
completely cool before servicing it.
