SAFETY
Do not operate the pump against a
closed discharge valve for long periods
of time. If operated against a closed dis
charge valve, pump components will
deteriorate, and the liquid could come
to a boil, build pressure, and cause the
pump casing to rupture or explode.
Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injuries. If overheating of the
pump occurs:
1. Stop the pump immediately.
2. Ventilate the area.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool.
4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates,
gauges, or plugs.
5. Vent the pump slowly and cau
tiously.
6. Refer to instructions in this manual
before restarting the pump.
Do not operate the pump without
the
guards in place over the rotating parts.
Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth
ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in
jury to personnel.
Never run this pump backwards. Be cer
tain that rotation is correct before fully
engaging the pump.
Pumps and related equipment must be in
stalled and operated according to all na
tional, local and industry standards.
