Safety Precautions 
WARNING!
THE HALE PUMP AND GEARBOX ASSEMBLY CAN BE HEAVY AND BULKY. ADDING
ACCESSORIES TO THE SYSTEM 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,
JACKS, CHAINS, STRAPS, ETC.) CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE LOAD WHEN REMOV-
ING OR INSTALLING THE HALE PUMP AND GEARBOX ASSEMBLY.
 The installer is responsible for observing all instructions and safety precautions in
his or her daily routine as dictated by regional safety ordinances or departmental
procedures.
 Fluids - To meet various shipping regulations, oil is drained from the gearbox res-
ervoir prior to shipping from the factory.
At installation and before operation, oil must be added to the appropriate levels.
(See Section 4, heading “ Gearbox Lubrication,” on page 76.)
See separate documentation provided with the engine and pump and gearbox
assemblies for proper fluids to use and quantities required.
 DO NOT permanently remove or alter any protective feature, guard or insulating
devices, or attempt to operate the system when these guards are removed.
Doing so voids the Hale pump warranty. Also see heading “Express Warranty” on
page 201.
 Any of the above could affect system capacity and/or safe operation of the system
and is a serious safety violation which could cause personal injury or could affect
safe operation of the pump.
