when required for startup or shutdown
procedures.
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.
This pump is equipped with automatic
liquid level controls, and is subject to
automatic restart. Keep hands and
clothing away from the unit to prevent
injury during automatic operation. Dis-
connect the positive battery cable be-
fore performing any maintenance. Fail-
ure to do so may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Make sure the pump is level. Lower jack
stands and chock the wheels, if so
equipped. Use caution when positioning
the skid-mounted unit to prevent damage
to the fuel tank.
Do not operate an internal combustion
engine in an explosive atmosphere.
When operating an internal combustion
engine in an enclosed area, make sure
exhaust fumes are piped to the outside.
These fumes contain carbon monoxide,
a deadly gas that is colorless, tasteless
and odorless.
Fuel used by internal combustion en-
gines presents an extreme explosion
and fire hazard. Make certain that all
fuel lines are securely connected and
free of leaks. Never refuel a hot or run-
ning engine. Avoid overfilling the fuel
tank. Always use the correct type of fuel.
Never tamper with the governor to gain
more power. The governor establishes
safe operating limits that should not be
exceeded. Refer to the Performance
Curve on Page E-1 for the maximum
continuous operating speed for this
pump.
