WARNING!!!
This pump is designed to handle most non-volatile, non-flammable liquids containing specified
entrained solids and corrosives. Do not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or flammable
liquids that may damage the pump or endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
CAUTION!!!
Pump speed and operating condition points must be within the continuous performance range
shown on the Performance Curve in the separate Part List Manual for your specific pump
model.
LUBRICATION
This pump is oil lubricated. The bearing housing contains an
oil cavity for lubricating the bearings and an oil cavity for
lubricating the mechanical seal in case the pump runs dry. The
sight gauge on the side of the bearing housing should read half
full to indicate the bearings have the correct amount of oil. The
mechanical seal oil should read at least half full.
PRIMING
This pump is self-priming, but the pump should never be operated without liquid in the pump
casing. The pump casing needs to be half filled with liquid in order to prime.
