PAGE A - 2 SAFETY
Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injuries. If overheating of the
pump occurs:
1. Stop the pump immediately.
2. Ventilate the area.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool.
4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates,
gauges, or plugs.
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
heated pump. Vapor pressure within the
pump can cause parts being disen­
gaged to be ejected with great force. Al­
low the pump to cool before servicing.
Never run this pump backwards. Be cer­
tain that rotation is correct before fully
engaging the pump.
Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
