• Check the total amperage draw for the electrical circuit you will be using. (For example: Do not plug
a pump or pumps that may draw 25 amps into a 20 amp fused electrical circuit.)
• Do not attempt to increase the powerline capacity by replacing a fuse with another fuse of higher
value.Overheatingofthepowerlineandthepossibilityofarewillresult.
• Torewireamotorfromonevoltagetoanotherorwhenaowcontrolvalveischangedbetween
manual and solenoid, consult the electrical schematic in the pump’s parts list.
• Electric pumps should never be exposed to rain or water which could cause personal electrical haz-
ard.
• Avoid conditions which can cause damage to the power cord such as abrasion, crushing, sharp
cutting edges, or corrosive environment. Damage to the power cord can cause an electrical hazard.
HYDRAULIC HOSES AND FLUID TRANSMISSION LINES
• Avoid straight line tubing connections in short runs. Straight line runs do not provide for expansion
and contraction due to pressure and/or temperature changes. See diagrams in “Set-up Instruc-
tions” section of this form.
• Eliminate stress in the tube lines. Long tubing runs should be supported by brackets or clips.

helps support the tubing.
• Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools. Do not
overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening can

capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the
pump and release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands.

• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose and possibly cause
personal injury.

not come in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some
paints. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials can result in personal injury. Consult the
manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint a coupler.
PUMP
• Do not exceed the hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the in-
ternal high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities can result in personal
injury.

• Always shut off the motor or engine and relieve pressure before breaking any connections in the
system.
• The motor or engine is the major part of the weight of the pump. Always take this into consideration
when lifting or moving the pump.
