NOTICE
For pumps with bellows, the maximum fluid inlet pres-
sure is 15 psi (0.1 MPa, 1.0 bar). Damage to the bel-
lows may occur if you exceed this pressure. Do not use
another pump or checking device to supply the bellows
pump.

NOTICE
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump quickly accelerates to a high
speed, possibly damaging itself. If your pump accel-
erates quickly, or is running too fast, stop it immedi-
ately and check the fluid supply. If the supply
container is empty and air has been pumped into
the lines, refill the container and prime the pump
and the lines with fluid, or flush and leave it filled
with a compatible solvent. Be sure to eliminate all
air from the fluid system.
