SAFETY INSTRUCTION
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used
to alert you to potential physical injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
Systems which will be dispensing fluids
under pressure may need to be protect-
ed by using a thermal relief kit which will
safely limit the pressures caused by
thermal expansion. Please contact your
local Lincoln distributor and refer to
Section K5, Page 31 for more details.
Failure to include thermal relief protec-
tion may cause damage not covered un-
der Lincoln’s warranty policy.
WARNING
Explosion and fire hazards
Improper grounding, poor ventilation,
open flames or sparks can cause a haz-
ardous condition and result in an explo-
sion or fire and cause serious injury.
• Be sure the fluid system is properly
grounded. See your pump instruction
manual for details.
• If there is static sparking or if you feel
an electric shock while using the
meter, stop dispensing immediately.
Identify and correct the problem
before continuing.
• Provide fresh air ventilation. This will
avoid the buildup of fumes from the
fluid being dispensed.
• Do not dispense flammable fluids.
• Keep the dispensing area free of de-
bris including solvents, rags and
spilled gasoline.
