GENERAL SAFETY
1.
WARNING
– Do not pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. The pump should only be used
with liquids compatible with the pump component materials. Failure to follow this
warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage and will void the product
warranty.
2.
Do not run the pump faster than maximum recommended speed.
3.
Do not attempt to pump at pressures higher than rated, motor damage may result.
4.
Maximum liquid temperature through pump is 140°.
5.
Make certain that the power source conforms with the requirements of your equipment
(see cord chart on page 8).
6.
Do not operate machine with belt guard, shaft guard or similar safety devices
removed.
7.
Prior to servicing, disconnect power, stop engine.
8.
Relieve system pressure prior to servicing.
9.
Drain all liquids from system before servicing.
10. Secure quick couplers on lines and guns before starting the pump. A loose quick
coupler may cause a hose whip around under pressure causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
11. Check hoses for weak or worn conditions before each use. Make certain that all
connections are tight and secure.
12. Periodically inspect the pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance
as required. See maintenance section in this manual, CAT pump Service Manual and
Honda engine manual as applicable.
13. Electric motors must be adequately grounded.
14. Do not operate a gasoline engine in an enclosed area. Be sure the area is well
ventilated.
15. Gasoline is a highly combustible fuel. The improper use, storage or handling of
gasoline can be dangerous. Never fill or touch a hot engine.
16. Do not handle a pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface.
17. Use only pipe, hose and fittings rated for the maximum P.S.I.G. rating of the pump. If
an unloader is used, use pipe, hose and fittings rated for the pressure at which the
unloader bypass operates.
