  • Page 4: Precautions & Safety

    PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY WARNING: THE VaporSMARTZ iQ150 IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH VOLUME RECOVERY AT PRESSURES BELOW 150PSI (VaporSMARTZiQ120 BELOW 120PSI). IT HAS SAFETY PRESSURE SWITCHES TO LIMIT THE SYSTEM PRESSURE TO 150 / 120 PSI. DEADHEADING YOUR PUMP FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT TIME AGAINST PRESSURES AT OR ABOVE 150PSI (120PSI for iQ120) GENERATES EXCESSIVE HEAT AND WILL DAMAGE THE PUMP OVER TIME.
