Operation
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a
high speed, possibly damaging itself, and it may
get very hot.
CAUTION

each component in your system.

If the pump will be unattended for any period of
time, if there is an air supply interruption, or to shut
off the system at the end of the work shift,
always
relieve the pressure.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
on page 7.
9.
Check periodically to ensure that the pump’s
mounting is secure.
