Hale recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain Portable Pumps powered with Yanmar 9 horsepower diesel engines, manufactured March 1, 2007, to December 11, 2015. These pumps may incorrectly identify the warning light on the dash panel to warn of low oil pressure when the warning light actually warns of low battery charge.
What could happen
If the operator shuts off the pump to add oil due to the mislabeled light, the pump may not restart due to having a weak battery. If the pump cannot be operated, fire suppression may be hindered, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Hale will notify the purchasers of the pump and will provide a replacement label to affix over the oil warning icon on the pump panel. The recall began on April 18, 2016. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
