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.
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,
pipe plugs, or fittings from an over­
heated pump. Vapor pressure within the
pump can cause parts being disen­
gaged to be ejected with great force. Al­
low the pump to cool before servicing.
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.
Natural gas presents an extreme explo­
sion and fire hazard. Follow all safety
precautions outlined by the National
Fire Protection Association when de­
signing and installing the system. Make
certain that the regulators and fuel lines
are of the proper size and capacity for
the system, and that all fuel lines are se­
curely connected and free of leaks.
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 tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Refer to the performance
curve in Section E for the maximum con­
tinuous operating speed for this pump.
Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
