Tighten the belts in accordance with the belt
manufacturer’s instructions. If the belts are too
loose, they will slip; if the belts are too tight, there
will be excessive power loss and possible bearing
failure. Select pulleys that will match the proper
speed ratio; over speeding the pump may damage
both pump and power source. DANGER!
Do not operate the pump without the guard in
place over the rotating parts. Exposed rotating
parts can catch clothing, fingers, or tools,
causing severe injury to personnel.
