To reduce the risk of serious injury, including splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9. You must do this whenever this manual instructs you to relieve pressure, when you shut off the pump, and before checking, adjusting, cleaning, moving, or repairing any system equipment.
NOTE: Check all possible problems and causes before you disassemble the pump.
