Precautions

CAUTION:

• Never draw piping into place by using force at the flanged connections of the pump. This can impose

dangerous strains on the unit and cause misalignment between the pump and driver. Pipe strain
adversely affects the operation of the pump, which results in physical injury and damage to the
equipment.

• Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow from the

suction side. This action can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat generation, and
equipment damage.
