HYPRO ROLLER PUMP GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Use a pressure relief device on the discharge side of the pump to prevent damage from pressure buildup when the pump discharge is blocked or otherwise closed and the power source is still running.

2. WARNING: Never pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Never use in explosive atmospheres. The pump should be used only with liquids compatible with the pump component materials. Failure to follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage and will void the product warranty.

3. Never pump acids (i.e. acid fertilizer) with Super Rollers! When pumping acidic fertilizer, Hypro recommends only the Silver Series castings and Teflon rollers, or use one of Hypro's poly centrifugal pumps.

4. Never run the pump faster than maximum recommended speed.

5. Never pump at pressures higher than the maximum recommended pressure.

6. Never pump liquids at temperatures higher than the recommended maximum temperatures (140° F / 60° C).

7. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.

8. Provide adequate protection in guarding around the moving parts such as the shaft and pulleys.

9. Disconnect power before servicing.

10. Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.

11. Drain all liquids from the system before servicing any component.

12. Check all hoses for weak or worn condition before each use. Make certain that all connections are tight and secure.

13. Periodically inspect the pump and the system components. Perform routine maintenance as required (see Maintenance section).
