Note 4: The model 2520 requires additional cooling air flow

to maintain adequate motor winding temperatures
(class B) and head temperatures. Requirements vary
with system design. Consult factory for details.
Note 5: The Model 2520 is designed to be intermittently
liquid compatible. Do not exceed a liquid transfer of
5 minutes/24 hours. Continuous liquid transfer may
cause damage to the valves.
