SAFETY − SECTION A
This information applies to 0 Series en-
gine driven pumps. Refer to the manual
accompanying the engine before at-
tempting to begin operation.
Because pump installations are seldom
identical, this manual cannot possibly
provide detailed instructions and pre-
cautions for each specific application.
Therefore, it is the owner/installer’s re-
sponsibility to ensure that applications
not addressed in this manual are per-
formed only after establishing that nei-
ther operator safety nor pump integrity
are compromised by the installation.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man-
ual.
2. Shut down the engine and discon-
nect the positive battery cable to
ensure that the pump will remain
inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates, or
plugs.
5. Close the suction and discharge
valves.
6. Vent the pump slowly and cau-
tiously at the drain plug.
7. Drain the pump.
This pump is may be used to handle air-
craft and vehicle fuels for Type I pumps,
or clear water for Type II pumps. Do not
attempt to pump corrosive liquids, or
any liquids which may damage the
pump or endanger personnel as a result
of pump failure.
If the pump is used for petroleum prod-
ucts, be certain proper safety practices
are followed before operating or servic-
ing the pump. Provide adequate ventila-
tion, prohibit smoking, wear static-re-
sistant clothing and shoes. Clean up all
fuel spills immediately after occur-
rence.
Do not operate the pump against a
closed discharge valve for long periods
of time. If operated against a closed dis-
charge valve, pump components will
deteriorate, and the liquid could come
to a boil, build pressure, and cause the
pump casing to rupture or explode.
Overheated pumps can cause severe
burns and injury. If overheating of the
pump occurs:
1. Stop the pump immediately.
2. Allow the pump to completely cool.
3. Refer to instructions in this manual
before re-starting the pump.
If pumping fuel, overheating may pro-
duce dangerous fumes. Take precau-
tions to ensure the area surrounding the
pump is adequately ventilated. Allow
the pump to completely cool and use ex-
treme caution when venting the pump or
