Safety Information
Please read through the safety information and operating instructions carefully before using your Waterous Fire Pump.
WARNING
!
Death or serious personal injury might occur if proper operating procedures
are not followed. The pump operator, as well as individuals connecting supply
or discharge hoses to the apparatus must be familiar with these pump operat‐
ing instructions as well as other operating instructions and manuals for the ap‐
paratus, water hydraulics and component limitation.
WARNING
!
Pressure Hazard. May result in personal injury.
Prior to connection or removal of hoses, caps or other closures with pump in‐
take or pump discharge connections, relieve pressure by opening drains or
bleeder valves. Bleeder valves should also be used while filling a hose con‐
nected to an intake with water.
WARNING
!
Scalding Water Hazard. May result in serious burns.
When operating the pump, be sure to open at least one discharge valve slight‐
ly to prevent the pump from overheating. If the pump runs for a few minutes
completely closed, it may heat the water enough to scald someone when the
valve is opened. Overheating can damage the packing, seals and other pump
parts. If the apparatus builder has installed a by-pass system or other provi‐
sion designed to prevent overheating, opening a discharge valve may be un‐
necessary.
WARNING
!
Unexpected Truck Movement. May result in serious personal injury or
death.
Failure to properly shift transmission in accordance to the transmission oper‐
ating instructions may result in unexpected truck movement which may result
in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
!
Rotating Parts Hazard or Unexpected Truck Movement. May result in seri‐
ous personal injury or death.
Stop the engine, set parking brake and chock the wheels before going under
the truck to adjust packing or to check packing gland temperature.
WARNING
!
Packing Gland and Pump Body Temperature Hazard. May result in seri‐
ous burns.
Heat is dissipated through the cross-section of the packing, transferring the
heat to the packing gland and pump body.
