Important Message to Owners / Operators of Pumps
Equipped with Lever Actuated Throw Out Clutches
When using a pump operated by a lever actuated throw out clutch, the rope must be routed by use of eyelet
pulleys such that the rope cannot become entangled with or come in contact with any moving parts of the tractor
or the applicator such as PTO shafts, tractor tires, ground drive units, etc. If eyelet pulleys are not found packed
in with the pump, please contact your selling agent or CDS – John Blue Company (1-800-253-2583)
immediately before any operations are undertaken.
Verification must be made prior to any operation that the rope is clear of any moving parts while not only driving
straight but when making turns either right or left. Verification must be made prior to any operation that the
properly routed rope contains no loops, which might become entangled with any part of the equipment or
operator.
At no time should the rope be attached to any clothing worn by or to any body parts of the operator
such as hands, arms, legs, etc.
We fully understand these are normal precautions owners / operators should take prior to and while operating
equipment. However, we wish to remind you that failure to comply with all safety regulations regarding
instructing operators in the use of moving equipment and actual operation of the equipment may lead to serious
injury and possible death.
