Safety Information
Read through the safety information and operating instructions before using your Waterous Foam
Manager.
WARNING
!
Death or serious personal injury might occur if proper
operating procedures are not followed. The pump op-
erator, as well as individuals connecting supply or dis-
charge 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 connec-
tions, relieve pressure by opening drains or bleeder
valves. Bleeder valves should also be used while filling
a hose connected 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 slightly to prevent the pump from
overheating. If the pump runs for a few minutes com-
pletely 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 provision designed to prevent overheating,
opening a discharge valve may be unnecessary.
WARNING
!
Hose Pressure Hazard.
May cause serious personal injury.
Use only fire hose that is rated at 200 PSI or higher
working pressure.
