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 operating instructions as well as
other operating instructions and manuals for the
apparatus, 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 intake or pump discharge
connections, relieve pressure by opening drains or
bleeder valves. Bleeder valves should also be used
while filling a hose connected to an intake with water.
Scalding Water Hazard. May result in serious
burns.
When operating the pump, be sure to open at least
one discharge valve slightly to prevent the pump from
overheating. If the pump runs for a few minutes
completely close, 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 bypass system or other provision designed
to prevent overheating, opening a discharge valve
may be unnecessary.
