WARNING
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can
cause serious injury or death if splashed
in the eyes or on the skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
1. Read TOXIC FLUID HAZARD on page 3.
2. Use fluids and solvents which are compatible
with the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the
Technical Data section of all equipment manu-

Installation
Tightening Threaded Fasteners Before
First Use
After unpacking the pump, and before using it for the
first time, check and retorque all external fasteners.
See the Service section for torque specifications.
After the first day of operation, retorque the fasteners
again. Although the recommended frequency for
retorquing fasteners varies with pump usage, a general
guideline is to retorque fasteners every two months.
Mountings
1. Be sure the mounting surface can support the
weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as
well as the stress caused during operation.
2. The Husky 715 Pump can be used in a variety of
installations. See Figs. 2 and 3 for some exam-
ples.
3. Secure the pump with screws and nuts.
Pumping High Density or Abrasive Fluids
High density fluids prevent the lightweight
buna-N check valve balls from seating properly, which
reduces pump performance significantly. Use stainless
steel balls for such applications (see page 30). Refer
to page 20 to change the balls.
