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.
