❑ The installer is responsible for observing all instructions and safety pre-
cautions in his or her daily routine as dictated by regional safety ordi-
nances or departmental procedures.
❑ Fluids - To meet various shipping regulations, oil is drained from the
gearbox (or pedestal unit) reservoir prior to shipping from the factory.
At installation and before operation, oil must be added to the appropriate
levels. (See Section 4, heading “ Replace Gearbox Oil,” on page 59.)
For pedestal fluid fill / replacement, see heading “Change Pedestal Oil”
on page 64.
See separate documentation provided with the engine for proper fluids to
use and quantities required.
❑ When mounting pumping system on a skid, truck, trailer or other movable
equipment, it is preferred to have the resting points under the frame as
close as possible under the frame cross-members. This prevents undo
strain on the frame and engine.
❑ DO NOT run the engine in a closed-in area. Proper ventilation for engine
cooling and engine exhaust MUST BE provided.
❑ If an exhaust extension is required to vent gases to the outside, it is
important to construct the exhaust extension to prevent excessive
exhaust back pressure.
WARNING !
EXHAUST GASES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, WHICH IS AN ODORLESS
AND DEADLY POISON. PROPER EXHAUST VENTILATION MUST BE PRO-
VIDED TO PREVENT THE ACCUMULATION OF EXHAUST GASES.
❑ The exhaust system components may smoke during the initial break-in
period. This smoking should stop after the pump is run several times.
❑ Be careful not to touch the exterior of a HOT engine, especially the muf-
fler and the surrounding area. The engine is hot enough to be painful or
cause burns / injury.
❑ DO NOT permanently remove or alter any protective feature, guard or
insulating devices, or attempt to operate the system when these guards
are removed.
❑ Do not run the engine with the covers removed.
Doing so voids the Hale pump warranty. Also see heading “Express
Warranty” on page 149.
