Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injuries. If overheating of the

5. Vent the pump slowly and cau
tiously.
6. Refer to instructions in this manual
before restarting the pump.
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,
pipe plugs, or fittings from an over

gaged to be ejected with great force. Al

servicing.
Overheating may produce dangerous
fumes. Use extreme caution when vent
ing the pump, or when removing covers,
plates, plugs, or fittings.
