Gorman-Rupp Pumps SFV4C 1474143 and up - Manual (Page 8)

OM-06403 SF SERIES
PAGE A - 3 SAFETY
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or
hose connections are secure before op­
eration.
Approach the pump cautiously after it
has been running. Although the motor is
cooled by dispersing heat through the
motor housing cooling fins into the liq­
uid being pumped, normal operating
temperatures can still be high enough
to cause burns. The temperature will be
especially high if operated against a
closed discharge valve. Never operate
against a closed discharge valve for
long periods of time.
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 completely cool before
servicing.
If this pump is used to handle sewage,
take necessary precautions during
maintenance and repair to prevent per­
sonal contamination which could result
in illness.
Pumps and related equipment must be
installed and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
