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 completely before
servicing.
This pump may be used to handle mate­
rials which could cause illness through
direct exposure or emitted fumes. Wear
adequate protective clothing when
working on the pump or piping.
Do not operate the pump without guards
in place over the rotating parts. Ex­
posed rotating parts can catch clothing,
fingers or tools, causing severe injury to
personnel.
Pumps and related equipment must be in­
stalled and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
Make sure the pump is level. Lower jack
stands and chock the wheels, if so
equipped.
