SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
•
Running the pump without sufficient water will damage the pump and void the pump's
warranty.
•
Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil gasoline kerosene ethanol, etc. Do not
use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapours. Using this pump with or near
flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious
personal injury and/or death.
•
Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating as the pump may be HOT and can cause
serious skin burns.
•
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal parts, and
disassembling may cause dangerous electrical wiring issues.
CAUTION
This pump is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free
•
service for many years when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate
electrical power or blockage by dirt could cause damage to the pump and void the warranty.
To minimize the potential for water damage due to pump failure please read the section of
this manual regarding common pump problems and remedies.
•
This pump is not designed to function as a permanently installed pump. It is also not
engineered to be run continuously as a "fountain" or "waterfall" pump. The pump should be
used with a 5/8" (1.6 cm) or larger inside diameter garden hose.
•
For safety, the pump motor has an automatically resetting thermal protector that automatically
will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and
void the warranty.
•
Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will
allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
