IIATANT SAFETY MESSAGES 0 FE Petro equipment is designed to be used to pump volatile hydrocarbon liquids such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Installing or working on this equipment means working in an environment in which these highly flammable liquids are present. This presents a risk of severe injury or death if these instructions and standard industry practices are not followed Read and follow this entire instruction booklet before installing or working on this equipment. As you read these instructions, watch for the following safety symbols: AL WARNING This symbol identifies a potentially hazardous situation which, if the instructions that follow it are not adhered to, could result in death or serious bodily injury. CAUTION This symbol identifies a potentially hazardous situation which, if the instructions that follow it are not adhered to, could result in serious property damage, including possible environmental contamination as a result of the leakage of fuel from the equipment. NOTE This symbol identifies particular instructions which, if not followed, could cause serious damage to the equipment or lead to equipment failure. I A— WARNING I Highly flammable vapors may be present in the environment in which this equipment is being installed or serviced. Do not smoke while working on or near this equipment. Use only non - sparking tools. Failure to follow this instruction could result in serious fire or explosion. Many submersible pumps are now housed in containment sumps designed to trap hazardous liquid spills and prevent contamination of the environment. These containment sumps can also trap dangerous quantities of hydrocarbon vapors which, if inhaled, could lead to dizziness and fainting, or, if ignited, could result in an explosion causing serious personal injury or death. Before working in or entering a containment sump, always check for the presence of hydrocarbon vapors inside. If found to be unsafe, ventilate the sump with fresh air, then re -check the atmosphere in the sump before doing the work and periodically thereafter. ALWAYS have a second person standing by for assistance when working in or around a containment sump. Follow all federal , state, and local laws governing the installation of this product and the entire system. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA 30, 30A, and 70 from the National Fire Protection Association. Failure to do so could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage and/or environmental contamination. WARNING If the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on while the pump is being installed, electrical power could be applied to the pump, creating the risk of a potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility of a spark which could ignite any hydrocarbon vapors present during installation and result in an explosion or fire. ALWAYS tag or lock breakers so they are not turned on accidentally.
