PROCEDURES THAT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO THE USER OR RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT.
THIS BULLETIN MUST BE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR SERVICING,
THE PUMP.
INSTALLATION:
Install the pump where the inlet is below the liquid level. A valve may be used to isolate the
pump for service. The pump is not self-priming and needs the inlet to be flooded at start-up.

when the pumping system is pressurized.
Injury or death may occur.
• DO NOT operate the pump in a manner
that it was not intended to be used.
• DO NOT mount the pump such that high
piping loads exist on the pump flanges, or
in a rigid piping system that does not allow
the pipe to expand and cause the pump to
be strained.
• DO NOT continue to operate the pumping
system when a known leak exists.
• DO NOT continue to operate the pump
when unusual noise or vibration occurs.
• DO NOT operate beyond the pressure or
temperature limits stated in the product
literature. See Form 8110.

to occur in a short time period within the
pumping system.
