1.2GENERAL
Safety ❑
Read all instructions, including the Engine Manufacturer’s Operating
and Maintenance Manual, thoroughly before beginning
any installation, service or operation process.
❑Use care when removing the pump assembly from its packaging to pre-
vent personal injury and/or damage to the system.
❑Use all mounting bolt holes provided on the gearbox, pedestal and/or the
pump to support the assembly. See the appropriate assembly plate
drawing, located at the back of this manual, for additional installation
information.
❑Installation should be performed by a trained and qualified installer, such
as your authorized Hale representative. Be sure the installer has sufficient knowledge, experience and the proper tools before attempting any
installation.
WARNING !
THE HALE PUMP ENDS, GEARBOX OR PEDESTAL ASSEMBLIES (IF
INCLUDED) CAN BE HEAVY AND BULKY. ADDING ACCESSORIES TO THE
SYSTEM ALSO INCREASES THE WEIGHT. CHECK YOUR BILL OF LADING
FOR THE APPROXIMATE WEIGHT.

close as possible under the frame cross-members. This prevents undo
strain on the frame and engine.
cooling and engine exhaust MUST BE provided.
❑If an exhaust extension is required to vent gases to the outside, it is
important to construct the exhaust extension to prevent excessive
exhaust back pressure.
WARNING !
EXHAUST GASES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, WHICH IS AN ODORLESS
AND DEADLY POISON. PROPER EXHAUST VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED TO PREVENT THE ACCUMULATION OF EXHAUST GASES.
❑The exhaust system components may smoke during the initial break-in
period. This smoking should stop after the pump is run several times.
❑Be careful not to touch the exterior of a HOT engine, especially the muf-
fler and the surrounding area. The engine is hot enough to be painful or
cause burns / injury.
❑DO NOT permanently remove or alter any protective feature, guard or
insulating devices, or attempt to operate the system when these guards
are removed.
❑Do not run the engine with the covers removed.

❑Any of the preceding could affect system capacity and/or safe operation
of the system and is a serious safety violation which could cause personal injury or could affect safe operation of the pump.
❑Make sure proper personal protective equipment is used when operating
or servicing the apparatus.
WARNING!
BE SURE TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN REMOVING AND/OR INSTALLING FORCE (PRESS) FITTED PARTS. WEAR PROTECTIVE, HEAT-RESISTANT GLOVES WHEN HANDLING PARTS THAT REQUIRE HEATING FOR
INSTALLATION AND/OR REMOVAL. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS EYE OR HAND INJURY.
DO NOT OVERHEAT PARTS CONSTRUCTED OF BRONZE (E.G. IMPELLER).
OVERHEATING (PART TURNS RED OR BLUE) CAN WEAKEN THE PART AND
IT MUST THEN BE REPLACED.
❑DO NOT operate the system at pressures higher than the maximum
rated pressure. Always use the lowest possible relief valve settings to
enhance operator and equipment safety. Also see Section 2 “Introduction” on page 17 for additional information.
❑Relieve all system pressure, then drain all water from the system before
servicing any of its component parts.

❑Maximum speed of the engine is factory set. DO NOT tamper with the
governor springs, links or other parts to run at higher speeds. Excessive
speed increases the hazard of personal injury and reduces engine life.
❑Familiarize yourself with all controls, learn how to STOP the engine
quickly in an emergency.
❑DO NOT reduce the pressure on the INTAKE gauge below zero (0).
Serious damage to the water main could result.
❑Use only PAC-EASE Rubber Lubricant Emulsion (or equal) on the rubber
mechanical seal parts to ease installation. DO NOT use other lubricant
types as damage to the mechanical seal and seat could occur.
❑Before connecting any cord sets or wiring harnesses, inspect the seal
washer in the connector.
If the seal washer is missing or damaged, water can enter the connector
causing corrosion. This could resulting in possible system failure.
1.3FUEL SAFETY
❑Carefully read and understand the “Engine Manufacturer’s Operating
and Maintenance Instructions” before attempting to operate, service or
disassemble the engine or any of its parts. Also see Section 4 “Operation” on page 27.

Safety ❑
WARNING ! - continued
❑Gasoline is a highly combustible fuel. The improper use, handling or
storage of gasoline can be dangerous. Prevent accidents by following
these safety recommendations, plus those furnished by your regional
safety ordinances or departmental procedures:
●Use gasoline as a fuel, NEVER as a cleaning fluid.
●Use only an approved container to hold or store gasoline. NEVER
store gasoline in familiar containers, such as milk containers or soap
bottles.
●Store gasoline in a cool location, out of reach of children.
NEVER store gasoline near heat sources, open flame or sources
using a pilot light or other devices that can create a spark.
●DO NOT refuel with the engine running. Add fuel to a COOL engine
only. Spilled fuel on a hot engine or muffler may cause a fire or an
explosion. Fill fuel tank out-of-doors and wipe up any spills
immediately.
●Make sure all fuel lines and connectors are secure.
●Provide a fire extinguisher when working with gasoline. Be sure the
extinguisher is in operating condition; check the pressure gauge or
indicator. Be familiar with its proper use.
Consult your local fire department for the correct type of extinguisher
for your application. Extinguishers rated ABC by the National Protection Association are appropriate for most applications.
●For proper handling, storing and transporting of fuel, follow fuel tank
manufacturer’s instructions sheet and/or instructions printer on the
tank.
❑Do not operate the engine when an odor of gasoline is present or other
explosive conditions exist.
❑Sparking can occur if a wire terminal does not fit firmly on the spark plug.
Reform terminal if necessary.
❑Do not check for a spark with the spark plug or wire removed. Use an
approved tester.
1.4BATTERY SAFETY

The battery contains concentrated sulfuric acid which can cause severe
chemical burns. When the battery is charging, it releases hydrogen, a colorless, odorless and highly explosive gas which can be ignited by a spark.
Eliminate all sparks or flames from the charging area.

when working with battery acid or the battery in general.
❑Neutralize acid spills immediately with Bicarbonate of Soda! If acid
contacts the skin or eyes, wash with water immediately and seek
medical help at once.
❑Never place a tool or any metal object on top of the battery
where it could possibly touch battery terminals causing a
short or serious electrical shock.
❑Use caution when changing battery connectors to ensure
that the polarity is not reversed. Always connect the BLACK wire
