STREAMS FROM THE BARTON PORTABLE FIREPUMP GO HIGH water at maximum pressure without speeding the engine beyond its safety limit. This pump has been designed for the most severe kind of service. The entire gear mechanism is enclosed and runs in a bath of oil. Both shafts are mounted on ball bearings. The suction opening is located on the center line of the pump and at the bottom for convenience, being low enough so that it does not interfere with cranking. The pump inlet may be easily tapped for connection to the booster tank. A cooling strainer is provided, which prevents foreign matter from passing from the pump to the motor as the water is being forced through the motor for cooling purposes. This strainer can be removed for cleaning while the pump is running. The pump has a special bronze impeller, which handles water carrying any kind of substance, in size up to small pebbles. There are no wearing surfaces and no loss of initial high efficiency. When starting, the pump primes itself automatically and keeps primed thereafter as long as operating, under all conditions and even in zero weather. Hazard Manufacturing Co.
