Pump Ends
p/n: 029-0020-61-0
Large diameter hose, marked “Supply Hose 6” to 5” (152 mm) diameter”
shall not be used at operating pressures exceeding 135 PSI (9 BAR).
❑
If leakage from the drain hole in the pump head is noticed or suspected,
the mechanical seal must be inspected and/or replaced.
❑
If a pump is operated without water for extended periods, or without dis-
charging water, it could overheat. This can damage the mechanical seal,
impeller or the drive mechanism.
❑
Keep equipment, i.e., engine controls and linkage, cylinder fins, muffler,
etc. and surrounding area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents and
could effect engine operation.
Remove all oil deposits from equipment and surrounding area. Accumu-
lations of grease and oil may present a hazard.
❑
Prevent accidental starting by always removing the battery ground (neg-
ative —) wire (BLACK) before working on the engine or the equipment
driven by the engine.
❑
Maximum speed of the engine is factory set. DO NOT tamper with the
governor springs, links or other parts to run at higher speeds. Excessive
speed increases the hazard of personal injury and reduces engine life.
❑
Familiarize yourself with all controls, learn how to STOP the engine
quickly in an emergency.
❑
DO NOT reduce the pressure on the INTAKE gauge below zero (0).
Serious damage to the water main could result.
❑
Use only PAC-EASE Rubber Lubricant Emulsion (or equal) on the rubber
mechanical seal parts to ease installation. DO NOT use other lubricant
types as damage to the mechanical seal and seat could occur.
❑
Before connecting any cord sets or wiring harnesses, inspect the seal
washer in the connector.
If the seal washer is missing or damaged, water can enter the connector
causing corrosion. This could resulting in possible system failure.
