A pump that has been used for water or a different thermal fluid should not be used prior to
extensive cleaning. Thermal fluid can be damaged by contact with moisture or other fluids.

Do not run the pump before filling it with fluid.
Caution
1. Use extreme caution opening plug when system temperature is elevated.
2. Wear eye and hand protection.
