WARNING - continued !
BE CERTAIN TO USE PROPER LIFTING SUPPORT DEVICES (I.E., OVERHEAD
CRANE, JACKS, CHAINS, STRAPS, ETC.) CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE

The installer is responsible for observing all instructions and safety pre-
cautions in his or her daily routine as dictated by regional safety ordi-
nances or departmental procedures.
❑
Fluids - To meet various shipping regulations, oil is drained from the
gearbox reservoir prior to shipping from the factory.
At installation and before operation, oil must be added to the appropriate
levels. (See Section 4, heading “ Replace Gearbox Oil,” on page 59.)
See separate documentation provided with the engine and pump and
gearbox assemblies for proper fluids to use and quantities required.

DO NOT permanently remove or alter any protective feature, guard or
insulating devices, or attempt to operate the system when these guards
are removed.
Doing so voids the Hale pump warranty. Also see heading “Express
Warranty” on page 145.
❑ Any of the above could affect system capacity and/or safe operation of
the system and is a serious safety violation which could cause personal
injury or could affect safe operation of the pump.
