Table of Contents Safety Symbols IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety Symbols It is the responsibility of the user to read and understand all General Safety Information instructions, important safeguards and safety precautions before Seal & Valve Kits operating or servicing any pump. Failure to do so may result in Service Intervals property damage, personal injury or death.
General Safety Information A. FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE LIQUID HAZARD Do not operate pump with flammable or explosive liquids unless extraordinary safety precautions are observed. Leaks of flammable or explosive liquids, if exposed to elevated temperatures, static electricity, sparks or other hazards, will result in flame or possible explosion, causing serious personal injury, death or property damage.

General Safety Information and Symbols F. OVER PRESSURIZATION HAZARD CONTINUED Do not operate high-pressure pumping system unless extraordinary safety precautions are observed. A high-pressure pumping system can deadhead or over pressurize causing serious personal injury and property damage. 1. All high-pressure systems require a primary pressure regulating device (e.g., regulator or unloader) and a secondary pressure safety relief device (e.g., pop-off valve, safety valve, rupture disc) to assure proper pressure setting and overpressure protection.

1. Fill pump crankcase to specific capacity indicated on data sheet or service manual prior to startup. 2. Cat Pumps premium custom-blend oil is available worldwide in 21-ounce bottles, (single and 12-pack cases), 2.5 gallon jugs (single and 2-pack) or 30 gallon drums. Use of other oils may void the warranty.
The seals on our pumps, operating under normal conditions, will perform for a minimum of 1500 hours, with most lasting much longer. The valves typically perform for 3000 hours, with many lasting much longer. Cat Pumps always recommends replacing these items as a kit since components usually wear at about the same rate.
Servicing the Seals MANIFOLD AND SEAL REMOVAL NOTE: One (1) seal kit is required to repair the pump (see data sheets PN 993104 or 99DAT019). 1.01 Use an 8 mm hex bit socket with 1.02 Support the discharge manifold from 1.03 Place the discharge manifold on a flat ratchet to remove the six (6) hex socket underneath.
