General Safety
Risk of explosion. The pump body may
explode if used to boost pressure above the pressures
shown in Specifications. Do not use this pump with inlet
pressure greater than 70 psi (483 kPa). If not already in
the piping system, install a pressure relief valve in the
pump discharge line capable of passing the full pump
flow at maximum rated pressure. If local code requires
installation of a pressure relief valve capable of handling
the full pump flow at a pressure less than 100 psi
(689kPa), follow the code requirements.
Risk of fire or explosion. To avoid risk of
fire and explosion, Pump Water Only with this pump. Do
not pump salt water, flammable liquids or chemicals. Do
not use the pump near gas pilot lights or where chemical
or gas fumes are present. Use of an electric pump with
liquids other than water or in an atmosphere containing
chemical or gas fumes may ignite those liquids or
gases and cause injury or death due to an explosion
and/orfire.
