After the vehicle is positioned for pump
maintenance, block the wheels and set
the emergency brake before attempting
to disconnect the drive shaft or remove
the pump. Be sure the pump is properly

Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Limit the maximum input
speed and operating range as indicated
on the Performance Curve on Page E‐1.
The gearbox provided on this pump is
designed for operation at a maximum in­

RPM (06D). If operated at a higher RPM,
pump or gearbox components may be
destroyed.
Decals and tags vital to pump operation
were shipped loose with the pump. Affix
these decals in a prominent place vis­

Never Run the pump dry of pumping me­

the pump at all times to prevent destruction
of the shaft seal faces.
