words and be alert to the potential for personal injury.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions that are
important but not related to hazards.
To avoid serious or fatal personal injury and possible property
damage, carefully read and follow the safety instructions.
1. Install pump according to all code requirements.
2. Compare pump nameplate data with desired operating
range.
3. Pump only liquids that are compatible with pump
component materials (that is, that will not attack the
pump). For liquids other than water, consult chemical
compatability charts.
4. If in any doubt about chemical compatability with the
pump, consult the factory for further information.
5. Do not pump strong acids or caustics with this pump.
6. Make sure plumbing is adequate to handle system
pressure.
7. Periodically perform maintenance inspection on pump
and system components.
8. Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
