WARNING!
BEFORE WORKING ON THE PUMP, DISCONNECT SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
AND DRAIN THE PUMP.
THE PUMP AND GEARBOX ASSEMBLIES CAN BE HEAVY AND BULKY. ADDING
ACCESSORIES ALSO INCREASES THE WEIGHT. CHECK YOUR BILL OF LADING FOR
THE APPROXIMATE WEIGHT. BE CERTAIN TO USE PROPER LIFTING SUPPORT
DEVICES (I.E., OVERHEAD CRANE, JACK, CHAINS, STRAPS, ETC.) CAPABLE OF HAN-
DLING THE LOAD WHEN REMOVING OR INSTALLING THESE ASSEMBLIES. EXERCISE
CARE WHEN USING CHAINS TO PROTECT THE FINISHED SURFACES FROM
SCRATCHES.

ALL FASTENERS ON THE PUMP AND GEARBOX ASSEMBLIES ARE SELECTED FOR
THEIR APPLICATION. HALE PRODUCTS DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPLACING FAS-

ALL FASTENERS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH A LOCKING ANAEROBIC ADHESIVE/
SEALANT, SUCH AS LOCTITE® #246 FOR GEARBOX AND #242 FOR PUMP.
