SAFETY
charge valve, pump components will
deteriorate, and the liquid could come
to a boil, build pressure, and cause the
pump casing to rupture or explode.
Fuel used by internal combustion en-
gines present an extreme explosion and
fire hazard. Make certain that all fuel
lines are securely connected and free of
leaks. Never refuel a hot or running en-
gine. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Al-
ways use the correct type of fuel.
Do not operate an internal combustion
engine in an explosive atmosphere.
When operating internal combustion
engines in an enclosed area, make cer-
tain that exhaust fumes are piped to the
outside. These fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas that is color-
less, tasteless, and odorless.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. The maximum continuous
operating speed for this pump is 2400
RPM.
Pumps and related equipment must be in-
stalled and operated according to all na-
tional, local and industry standards.
