SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Specifications
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
•
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.
•
Some 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. Do not use an extension cord.
•
Some pumps are supplied without a plug and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or other approved enclosure.
These pumps include a grounding conductor. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that is properly connected to ground
according to code. The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the excep-
tion of shortening the cord to fit in a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control must be made within a junction
box and comply with the National Electrical 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.
•
Wire pump system for correct voltages.
•
Employ a licensed electrician.
•
Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should the junction box be located
where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
•
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
•
Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be made in accordance with their regulations as
well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this manual. Read entire manual
before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
•
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.
•
An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Use with
approved liquid level control with correct rating that matches marked motor input in full load amperes or service factor amperes.
•
In applications where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, an automatic back-up system and/or an alarm should be installed.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component
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.
•
Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high temperature that could cause skin
burns if touched and will cause serious damage to your pump.
•
Do not oil the motor. The pump's motor housing is sealed, with a high-grade dielectric oil for heat transfer and lifetime lubrica-
tion. Use of other oils could cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.
•
Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
•
Do not use motor in swimming areas or marine applications.
•
Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of water is to be pumped. The
pump must be continuously monitored during operation and disconnected from power before the pump runs dry.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
•
Do not use this pump for pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion as
this can result in damage to the pump.
•
Do not run pump dry. For optimal cooling and to prolong the motor life, the liquid level being pumped should normally be above
the top of the pump housing.
•
This pump is not suitable for pond applications.
