SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Flow Rates
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
•
To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one disconnect switch
may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
•
Wire pump system for correct voltage.
•
Do not use an extension cord; provide a properly located outlet.
•
Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device or a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA if required by code.
•
Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If not, a quali-
fied, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
•
Pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain
that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The
third prong is to ground the pump to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
•
To avoid hazards when installing or servicing, install a double-pole disconnect near the pump installation.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
•
Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
•
Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well
as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
•
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
•
This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experi-
ence and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in
the immediate vicinity.
•
Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing the
pump or switch.
•
Make sure that the discharge line of the pump is secure before operating pump. If the discharge line is not secured it could move.
•
Do not run pump dry. Running dry will cause serious damage to the pump.
•
Do not let the unit freeze. Freezing may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
•
An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
•
Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
•
Keep work area clean, well-lit, and uncluttered.
•
This pump has been evaluated for use with water only. The pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump com-
ponent materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the
electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
•
Periodically inspect pump and system components. Regularly check hoses for weakness or wear, making certain that all connec-
tions are secure.
•
Schedule and perform routine maintenance as required and in accordance with the Maintenance section of this manual.
•
The pump's motor bearings contain a small amount of lubricant. In the event of product failure, pollution of the liquid could occur
due to leakage of these lubricants.
