GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many years
of trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained,
and used. See the "Troubleshooting Chart" in this manual for
information about common utility pump problems and reme-
dies. For more information, see your retailer, or call Sta-Rite
customer service at 1-800-323-0620.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
2. Do not use in water where fish are present.
3. Disconnect the power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within the system before servicing
any component.
5. Drain all water from the system before servicing.
6. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An
unsecured discharge line can whip, possibly causing per-
sonal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use. Make certain all connections are secure.
