Recommendations

• If an extension cord is needed, the following wire sizes must be used:

25' Cord - not less than 14GA wire
50' Cord - not less than 12GA wire
100' Cord - not less than 10GA wire

Electric damage or personal injury can result from using improperly grounded outlets.
Only a properly grounded 115 Volt outlet accepting three pronged plug should be used.

Serious damage can result from improper or inadequate electric set up. Fuses, wiring
and electrical codes for proper amperage and grounding should be checked.

Make sure that no water / liquid is anywhere that could cause electric shock to the
operator (i.e. on the oor or pump where it could come in contact with electric
connection).

Safety Precautions

• Electric

1. Pump is designed for the testing of rubber hose. We do not recommend it for any
other application.

2. Adequate steps should be taken to protect property and personnel in the event of a
failure during a test. These steps should include, but are not limited to the

following:

a) Only trained personnel should conduct hydrostatic testing.
b) Use of safety glasses or shields for personnel conducting test and

witnessing test.

c) All personnel should be perpendicular to the test sample and at least

15 feet away.

d) Place test sample in a protective enclosure.
e) Restrain both ends of the test sample to prevent hose from whipping in

case of a failure.

f) If testing is done outside of a protective enclosure, restrict the movement

of the couplings by the use of sandbags or other means.

g) Use only water as a test uid.

3. All incidental ttings, intermediate hose and piping should be rated at 3000 psi

minimum.

4. Before removing or adjusting any part of the pumping system or test sample the

following precautions should be exercised:

a) Shut off pump.
b) Shut off water supply.

c) Release pressure inside the test specimen (hose) through bleed valve.
