CAUTION - continued !
BE SURE TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN REMOVING AND/OR INSTALLING
FORCE (PRESS) FITTED PARTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERI-
OUS INJURY.
❑
Parts under spring tension can become projectiles and cause serious injury.
When removing or installing these parts make sure they are restrained and
spring tension is released slowly.
❑
Disconnect or turn OFF the master battery switch prior to servicing the Hale
SPV or PVG electrical components. Make sure there is NO power at the
primer solenoid before starting service procedures.
❑
Any electrical system has the potential to cause sparks during installation,
service or repair. Take care to eliminate explosive or hazardous environ-
ments during installation, service or repair.
❑
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.
❑
DO NOT operate the system at pressures higher than the maximum rated
pressure. Always use the lowest possible relief valve settings to enhance
operator and equipment safety. Also see Section 3 “System Installation” on
page 17 for additional information.
❑
Relieve all system pressure, then drain all water from the system before
installing the primer.
❑
Use only pipe, hose and fittings which are rated at or above the maximum
pressure rating at which the water pump system operates.
❑
Use only pipe, hose and fittings from the priming pump vacuum connection
to the Hale SPV vacuum connection rated for 29 in. Hg. (737 mm) vacuum.
❑
Check all hoses for weak or worn conditions after each use. Ensure that all
connections and fittings are tight and secure.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THE HALE SPV IS LOCATED HIGHER THAN THE PUMP BODY
ALLOWING WATER TO DRAIN FROM THE VACUUM HOSE.
❑
If there is primer lubricant in the reservoir, it is recommended to operate
lubricated priming systems weekly to cycle the fresh lubricant through the
primer.
