Only qualified personnel should install, operate and repair pump.
WARNING ! Operation against a closed
discharge valve will cause premature
bearing and seal failure on any pump, and on end
suction and self priming pump the heat build may cause the
generation of steam with resulting dangerous pressures. It is
recommended that a high case temperature switch or pressure relief
valve be installed on the pump body.
CAUTION ! Pumps build up heat and
pressure during operation-allow time
for pumps to cool before handling or servicing.
WARNING ! Do not pump hazardous materials
(flammable, caustic, etc.) unless the pump is
specifically designed and designated to handle them.
CAUTION ! Do not block or restrict discharge hose,
as discharge hose may whip under pressure.
WARNING ! Do not wear loose clothing that may become
entangled in moving parts. Always wear appropriate
safety gear, such as safety glasses, when working on
the pump or piping.
WARNING ! Keep clear of suction and discharge
openings. DO NOT insert fingers in pump with power on.
