Certain operating conditions in combination with water hardness may result in excessive lime deposits within the pump, causing
it to bind. Should this condition be evident, flush pump with a solvent at regular intervals.
This pump has been drained and flushed with a water-soluble preservative oil prior to shipment. After pump has been in service,
do not store without draining as specified within this Bulletin. Pump can be damaged by freezing.
USE CAUTION when removing inlet screens. Any foreign material on screen may fall into pump and cause extensive damage at
start-up.
Base must be mounted to a leveled foundation and final coupling alignment done during installation. (Refer to Bulletin No. 642,
Installation Instructions, Nash Vacuum Pumps and Compressors.)
