CAUTION
Ÿ If the cable must be extended, use an extension cable with the same or larger core size as that of the
cable that is provided with the pump. Using a cable of proper size will prevent the motor from attaining
its full potential or may cause the cable to overheat, which may lead to fire, current leakage or electrical
shock.
Ÿ If a cable with a cut or damaged sheath is submerged in water, the water may enter the pump and cause
the motor to short. This will damage the pump, which may lead to current leakage, or electrical shock,
or bum-out.
Ÿ
To prevent the cable from cuts or twists, which will damage the pump and may lead to current leakage,
electrical shock, or fire , be sure that the tires of vehicles do not run over the cable.
Ÿ If the cable must be submerged in water, be sure to mold the connection portion completely . Failure to
do so may lead to current leakage, electrical shock, or bum-out.
To prevent water from entering inside the cable, be
sure to securely mold the cable connection
portion. To avoid damaging the cable, arrange the cable run
so that the cable is not bent, kinked or pressed
against a structure.
Never submerge the ends of a cable in water. If the cable must be extended, use an extension
cable with the same or larger core size as that of the
cable that is provided with the pump.
