Stainless Max Series Pumps 1-3
Safety Precautions
❑
Rotating drive line parts can cause injury. Be extremely careful
that NO part of your body (head, feet, arms, legs, finger, hair) is in
an area of rotating parts where you could be subject to injury.
❑
Make sure everyone is clear of the apparatus. Verify the parking
brake is set and the wheels are chocked to prevent any
movement of the apparatus.
❑
DO NOT operate the system at pressures higher than the
maximum rated pressure.
❑
Relieve all system pressure, then drain all water from the system
before servicing any of its component parts.
❑
Use only pipe, hose and fittings which are rated at or above the
maximum pressure rating at which the water pump system
operates.
❑
Before working on the pump, disconnect suction and discharge
piping and drain the pump body.
❑
If excessive leakage from the drain hole in the pump head is
noticed or suspected, the impeller must be removed and the
mechanical seal must be inspected.
❑
If a pump is operated without water for extended periods, or
without discharging water, it may overheat. This may damage the
mechanical seal or the drive mechanism.
❑
DO NOT leave the cab or attempt to pump until all the “green”
pump indicators in the cab and panel are ON. (Also see Figure
3-2: “Pump Operator’s Panel” on page 3-3.)
❑
DO NOT attempt emergency shift procedures while the engine is
running.
❑
DO NOT advance the throttle unless the "OK TO PUMP" indicator
is ON.
