" 7x19 304SS Air Craft Cable WLL = 740 lbs.
Do not exceed safe working load limits.
WARNINGS
Inspection
Wire ropes, cables and attachments must all be inspected
regularly for visible damage or distortion, elongation,
corrosion, cracks, nicks or abrasion which may cause
failure or reduce the original strength or ability of the
products to perform safely. User must determine whether
future use of the wire rope or cable would constitute a
safety hazard to life or property.
Safety
Refer to WARNING and CAUTION labels prior to use.
Keep out from under any raised loads and keep out of
the line of force of any load.
Do not use wire ropes or cables for any purpose other
than which it was intended.
AVOID SHOCK LOADS
Warnings
Failure to use wire ropes or cables properly may cause
loads to slip or fall.
Failure to read, understand and follow these instructions
may cause death or serious injury.
Do not exceed safe working load limits.
OPERATION
DO NOT LIFT, CARRY OR HANG
PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL CABLE.
DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL
CABLE CAN CAUSE SHOCK, BURNS
OR DEATH.
Raise and lower the pump in the containment area using
the lifting cable attached to the system's quick disconnect
for the A10-12, A10-2015 or A10-20, and to the pump's
lifting eye/strap for the A10-30, A10-40 and A10-60. DO
NOT use electrical cable and DO NOT damage the elec-
trical cables while raising and lowering unit. A10-40 and
A10-60 units can be used in conjunction with a lifting
bail (part # ABAIL2).
To ensure full prime, lower the pump(s) on the slide rails
until fully submerged. Do not engage pump discharge to
the rail discharge connection. Jog the pump motor, one
to two seconds, to purge air from pump casing. Lower
the pump and engage with base.
While the slide rail system mating surfaces are self clean-
ing and contain no sealing devices, a check for leaks at
the initial installation and after each pump removal or
installation is recommended.
While manually controlling the pump and the contain-
ment area inflow, using each pump independently, pump
down the containment area.
Observe the pump, piping and slide rail base discharge
connections for leaks.
If leaks are present, reset the pump and slide rail mat-
ing surfaces and recheck. If this fails to stop the leak,
the pump should be removed and the necessary adjust-
ments made to correct the leak. Leakage will cause longer
operation time, higher costs and may lead to premature
failure of slide rail base discharge connection.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
WARNING
Wire rope WILL FAIL if worn-out, overloaded, misused,
damaged, improperly maintained or abused.
Wire rope failure may cause serious injury or death!
Protect yourself and others:
