GENERAL NOTES
1. Do not pump liquids containing metal fines.
2. If magnets decouple, stop the pump immediately. The rare
earth magnets used in this pump are more resistant to de-
magnetization, but operating the pump with the magnets
decoupled will eventually weaken the magnets.
3. Plastic pumps will expand and contract with temperature so
the plastic column sections.
4. Always use a chemically compatible lubricant on any o-ring.
5. An information sticker is attached to the mounting plate. The
first line is the model number and the second line is the serial
number.
