WHEN A MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE IS INSTALLED IN A BYPASS LINE, IT MUST

REMAIN OPEN DURING OPERATION. CLOSING THE MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE

COULD CAUSE A PUMP, WHICH HAS LOST PRIME, TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE

WITHOUT REACHING PRIME. THIS COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS OVERHEATING OF

THE PUMP AND POSSIBLY RUPTURE THE PUMP CASING.

BEFORE SERVICING, ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE OVERHEATED PUMP TO

COMPLETELY COOL. ONCE THE PUMP HAS COMPLETELY COOLED, DRAIN THE

LIQUID FROM THE PUMP BY REMOVING THE CASING DRAIN PLUG. WHEN

REMOVING THE DRAIN PLUG, USE CAUTION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN

INJURY. PLATES, COVERS, GAUGES, OR FITTINGS MUST NOT BE REMOVED FROM

AN OVERHEATED PUMP. LIQUIDS IN THE PUMP CAN REACH BOILING

TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURE INSIDE THE PUMP CAN CAUSE PARTS TO BE

EXPELLED VIOLENTLY.

BEFORE SERVICING, ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR AN OVERHEATED PUMP TO

COMPLETELY COOL. ONCE THE PUMP HAS COMPLETELY COOLED, DRAIN THE

LIQUID FROM THE PUMP BY REMOVING THE CASING DRAIN PLUG. WHEN

REMOVING THE DRAIN PLUG, USE CAUTION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN

INJURY. PLATES, COVERS, GAUGES, OR FITTINGS MUST NOT BE REMOVED

FROM AN OVERHEATED PUMP. LIQUIDS IN THE PUMP CAN REACH BOILING

TEMPERATURES AND VAPOR PRESSURE INSIDE THE PUMP CAN CAUSE PARTS

TO BE EXPELLED VIOLENTLY.

WHEN PERFORMING EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE OR IF THE PUMP IS TO

REMAIN OUT OF SERVICE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE EQUIPMENT

ELECTRICAL SERVICE MUST BE DISCONNECTED WITH AN APPROVED

LOCKOUT AND KEY. FAILURE TO LOCK OUT THE EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN

INJURY.

IF OVERHEATED, THE PUMP MUST BE ALLOWED TO COMPLETELY

COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY PROCEDURES.

2. CHECK THE TEMPERATURE BEFORE OPENING ANY COVERS,

PLATES, OR PLUGS.

3. ENSURE THAT SUCTION AND DISCHARGE VALVES ARE CLOSED.

4. SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY VENT THE PUMP.

5. DRAIN THE PUMP.
