POSITIONING THE PUMP
The pump assembly should be positioned so that fuel supply and
power supply are easily and safely accessible. You should also
ensure that the Control Panel and the meter can be accessed
without hindrance.

All hoses and power supply cables must be routed clear of sharp
edges and where they will not cause a trip hazard.

The pump skid must only be positioned on a horizontal surface.

Make sure that the pump is disconnected from the power supply
and fluid supply before commencing. Pump should be protected
from direct Sunlight and well ventilated.

The Pump Skid is designed so that it can either be temporarily or

permanently installed.

Notes:
Pump 1 is normally the lower pump in the framework.
Pump 2 is normally the higher pump in the framework.
The illumination of the buttons shows the state of operation.
If pressure lights illuminate, then pumps will shut down.
If the emergency stop button is activated, then it has to be reengaged and
also the reset button pressed to restart operations.
