sure extinguisher is in operating condition – check the pressure gauge
or indicator. Be familiar with its proper use. Consult local re
department for the correct type of extinguisher for your application.
Extinguishers rated ABC by the National Fire Protection Association
are appropriate for most applications.
IMPORTANT: Positively no smoking!
1. DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA!! Exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, which is an odorless and poisonous gas.
If equipment is located in an enclosed area, use an exhaust line to the
outside and regularly check the exhaust system for leaks. Be sure the
area is well ventilated.
2. Check engine oil and fuel levels before initial startup each day. Stay away
from moving parts. Avoid wearing loose jackets, shirts and ties. Make sure
all nuts and bolts are secure. Keep power shields and guards in place. If
adjustments must be made while the unit is running, use extreme caution
around hot manifolds, moving parts, etc.
3. Do not operate this equipment when mentally or physically fatigued.
Be careful not to touch the exterior of the engine, especially the muer
and the surrounding area. The engine is hot enough to be painful or
cause injury!
4. Prevent accidental starting by always removing spark plug or by
disconnecting and grounding spark plug wire before working on engine or
the equipment driven by engine.
5. Familiarize yourself with all controls. Learn how to stop an engine quickly
in an emergency.
6. Keep the equipment and surrounding area clean. Remove all oil deposits
from equipment and surrounding area. Accumulations of grease and oil
may present a re hazard and can cause engine damage. Cleaning rags
and other ammable waste materials must be stored in approved metal
containers.
7. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the working area. Keep
children away from power equipment. Keep work area clean. Cluttered
areas invite accidents.
8. When shutting o a gasoline engine, be sure it is completely stopped
before leaving the work area.
INSTALLATION
The pumps should not be used in ammable or explosive atmospheres.
In order to safely use this product, familiarize yourself with this pump and
also with the liquid (chemical, etc.) that is going to be pumped through
the unit. This pump is not suitable for many liquids.
IMPORTANT: For installations where property damage might result from an
inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage
or any other reason, a back-up system(s) and/or warning system(s) should be
used.
1. Locate pump as close to the uid source as possible, making the suction
line as short and direct as possible.
The unit should be placed where the pump/engine is protected from the
weather and extremes of heat, cold and humidity.
2. Mount the unit on a solid foundation. On xed installation, install both a
union and a gate valve (not furnished) on the discharge side of the pump
for service convenience.
Do not use a globe or other restricting type of valve at the discharge, as
this would seriously restrict the capacity of the pump.
3. Attach suction line piping to the suction inlet and discharge line piping
to the discharge outlet. The suction line should be positioned such that
there is a continual upward slope from the uid source to the pump. Avoid
using loops or sections of pipe or ttings which might permit air to become
trapped.
IMPORTANT: If plastic or fabric hose is used for the suction piping, it should be
of a reinforced type so as not to collapse under suction. The discharge piping
should be at least the same size as the discharge connection. Suction piping
should be the same size as the discharge piping or one size larger. Unless
long horizontal runs are involved, discharge piping should not be larger than
suction piping. Avoid using looped sections of pipe, which might permit air to
become entrapped. Assure air-tight pipe connections with the use of a pipe
joint sealant.
4. Fill pump with liquid. A foot-valve may be used on the suction line to
assist in faster pumping. The foot-valve should be installed when the
suction lift is over 10 feet or when the suction line is over 10 feet long.
